After race at Fairyhouse Sat, 29th Nov, 2025 (1st)  That was brilliant. We just decided to change things around completely today. We thought he’d run well the last day in Navan. It was a decent run, but I thought he just raced way too lazily. I thought there wasn’t much pace in the race and that he was fit, so we’d try and ride him very prominent. Now I look clever, maybe I wasn’t too clever the last day. It’s great that it worked out really well. He jumped well and he raced lazily in front, so he kept getting breathers. We’re having a great run thankfully. I had an idea that I’d send him to the ladies race in Limerick over Christmas and go back to dropping him in a little bit, but after that I’m not quite sure. We might look elsewhere, maybe Punchestown on New Year’s Eve. P J Rothwell

After race at Punchestown Sun, 31st Dec, 2023 (1st)  I thought he’d run a big race in Naas and he gurgled all the way up the straight. I probably had the wrong bit in his mouth as he’d never done it before. I was really happy with him and he was working really well at home. The day he was fourth in the maiden hurdle in Gowran was a good run and I thought he’d go on the ground here. It’s been a mighty year altogether and it’s our best season for winners. I’ve great owners, great staff and supporters and we’re working very hard at it. The Blind Squirrels have horses in Ireland and England and are a really well-run syndicate. Prince Zaltar was my first horse for the lads and this is the second one. It’s great for Conor as well. That’s his second winner and nice to be able to support him as well. P J Rothwell
