He's a progressive little sprinter and he is going the right way. As long as we have soft ground we'll continue with him. I still don't know how I didn't manage to win with him as a two-year-old. He's definitely sharpened up over the winter now. He's really learning how to sprint. The listed race at Cork next weekend could be an option. The owners would like to get him some black-type (he's a home bred).
