he was a weak four-year-old and I always thought there was something in him when he'd get stronger and thank God I was rewarded. The boys (the Fastey For Fun Syndicate) lost Icelip here the same day that Cusp Of Carabelli finished second. In fairness in his two handicaps he had two good runs and I always say a couple of runs in handicaps are needed. Hopefully he should improve and he'll make a nice chaser next year. Barry Geraghty said it was too quick for him in Gowran, so I'd say when he gets stronger he will go on softer. I had his mother (Lingual Cusp) and she won three point-to-point's but got injured when she ran on the track. David M O'Brien, trainer
