We haven't had many runners and the ground wouldn't have been suitable. It didn't suit this fella either and he got some ride. I'm delighted for a few different reasons. I sold him to a few fellas last spring before Punchestown and he ran badly after which they rang to say they weren't taking him. They didn't pay and I hope they're sore now; they know who they are! . Philip and his brother 'Abbie' (sons of former Taoiseach Albert Reynolds) bought him before he ran at the Curragh. I've never met Philip and we've only chatted on the phone so I'm delighted for him. He's a summer horse and he barely got away with the ground. He never travelled and Fran coaxed him into it. He's in again on Sunday (the Trappers Inn Maiden Hurdle) and we'll see how he is.
