It's great for young Joe. He's 16 and a local fellow. He signed on to Charlie Swan and he would ride work for us. He's ridden a lot of pony race winners and it's good to get the ball rolling for him. I'm delighted for the owner Liam O'Kelly. He's very supportive of me and the whole yard. I don't know where we'll go with him. We had to come here today as he's gone up to 66 [in the handicap] and that's going to be tough. He had 17 pounds in hand today so he was entitled to win, but it'll be tough from here now. Denis Gerard Hogan, trainer
