After race at Fairyhouse Mon, 8th Feb, 2021 (1st)  He sent him for home and that was it,. I said to him before it went out that all he does is stay at a pace. I've struggled to get him fit this year. He's been off a couple of times with touches of leg trouble but thankfully we've got him back. He won't stop eating and I struggle to get the weight off him and get enough work into him to get him right. We said we'd run him to get him fit and run him to keep him fit. I don't do an awful lot with him at home and he's just ticked over since Navan. He was at the beach, walking in the water trying to keep his legs sound, and touch wood he'll be alright in the morning. I can only make day to day plans with him and didn't look any further than today. He's been threatening to do that for a while and is at his peak now fitness wise. He's versatile enough ground wise but I can't chance him on better ground. He's minded like a child and is one of the favourites at home. My nephew rides him out and a little pal of his as well, they come at the weekends. He's an absolute saint of a horse. I'm delighted for the owners, the Skellys, who have been with me a long time. God be good to Lar Skelly who passed away in the summer. They've been good to me and as long as I've been training they've had horses with me and stuck by me. Paul Stafford

After race at Fairyhouse Wed, 13th Feb, 2019 (1st)  I thought he might have needed this run. I’ve been minding him ground wise. I walked the track on Monday and I was happy enough to run him. Paul Stafford
