After race at Gowran Park Sat, 4th Oct, 2025 (1st)

We always hoped he would be a good chaser and he jumped really well today. He looks a good one and you'd hope he will stay further, but we'll see what's coming up. He will come on plenty for the run. Colin Motherway recommended him and in fairness he really pushed me to buy him, so all credit to him. I'm delighted for the lads (Both Sides Of The Water Syndicate) who have been great supporters of ours over the years and we've had plenty of fun together.
