He ran very well the last day. That is my 100th winner on the track across Ireland and Britain, not including point-to-points. A fair achievement, I always say I'm only a part-time trainer! It is nice to get that achievement. We flew out to Cheltenham this morning and bought a couple of horses, nicer horses that we didn't have the money to spend on before. I have a few local boys backing me up with a few pound. The dearest horse I ever bought before was 26 grand. We beat it by a good bit today! We paid 80 odd grand for a horse today. We are racing in Class 5 and Class 6 all along, and we are getting winners. It would be nice to go for a nice 'Saturday' horse to try and get a name for yourself.

There was a wall of horses, 10 abreast, lining up at the start and I was the tenth. We flew to the first but pulled it right up down the hill and hacked, which suited me as he is a miler on the flat. I was happy to commit sooner than normal off a slow gallop as I knew he'd have the gears to kick off a slow gallop. When we bought him we were very disappointed with him as he didn't take to jumping but we ride him on the outside as he loves a bit of space. I rode him a canter this morning going steady and he jinked and jammed on, which confirmed that I should keep him away from horses. I can't knock him this year as he hasn't been out of the first three most days and he could run over 1m4f later in the week. I don't know if people noticed or not but my stick went flying and I got away without it. I don't mind saying it nowadays as I'm not looking for rides! It shouldn't happen though - I was a bit rusty.

It’s good to get his head in front. He was a bit unlucky the other day as he lost a lot of ground around the outside and we were 5lb well-in today.
