Thu, 17th Jul, 2025  I didn't realise he had to run in a 0-110 to qualify for this Final so I gave him a quick spin in Tipperary a fortnight ago and I knew that run would bring him forward. It was fantastic to win this prizemoney with a 108-rated horse and he had also previously won another E25,000 pot in Listowel. Today's race worked out perfectly and they went a good gallop. He is wicked tough and I was happy the runner-up didn't come and beat him. Normally he would need time between runs, so I might just give him a minute. He has the option of going back over fences in time. J P Flavin

After race at Listowel Sat, 31st May, 2025 (1st)  He missed the second-last but Donagh (Meyler) thought that he was going to get back up,. We paid a good few quid (55,000gns) for him out of Andrew Balding's and he took time to come right. He is tough and hardy now, stuck his head out and it was a nice pot to win. He was the first Kingman to win over fences, at Wexford last year. I've no real plan next, as today had been the plan. J P Flavin

After race at Wexford Fri, 30th Aug, 2024 (1st)  He is very well-bred,. He had a few problems when we got him but thankfully we've ironed them out. He always worked fairly well and I said I'd give him a run in a handicap chase today to protect his (hurdles) mark. Then they took all those fences out and it worked in his favour. I said to Conor that if he was going well over the last down the back to set sail for home because he won around Sandown and he is tough and hardy. He stuck at it well. . The Queen actually bred him and I got him out of Andrew Balding's at Newmarket last year.  . I'm delighted for his owners. I own a share in him along with Des O'Brien, John Bermingham and Johnny O'Neill. . Today was the plan and we might go back hurdling with him now, we'll see what happens. J P Flavin
