After race at Kilbeggan Mon, 22nd Jun, 2009 (1st)

Delighted for the owner Robert, his horses have been running well lately. This lad ran disappointingly at Ballinrobe, he struck into himself early on and thankfully Slippers Madden pulled him up straight away. We will probably head to Galway with him next.

B R Hamilton

After race at Downpatrick Fri, 8th May, 2009 (1st)

He ran well on his last start but had to have an operation on his back after for kissing spines,. We decided to give it one last lash this season before the ground changed. That's as quick as he wants it. We'll see how he comes out of this and tred carefully with him. His future lies over fences, they way he jumps, and he'll go chasing next season.
