We had a similar winner in Christmas 2021 with another four-year-old and we only ever have one or two horses. We train for fun as I'm farming and also work as a CAD technician in Shannon, so days like today are brilliant. We went a good gallop and while we didn't know if he'd dig deep and stay on, he did. Pedigree wise he isn't out of place, as all his immediate family have won races. I use Aengus King's (neighbour) gallop at weekends and between him and my dad there is plenty of advice. We were hoping for a nice run but in a small yard it is hard to know where you're at. We'll look at all options now and he is for sale. James Conheady, trainer
