Punchestown Thu, 30th Apr, 2026  Busselton I thought the winning post would never come but what a great ride and a lovely little horse. It was a typical La Touche, it had a bit of everything. As I’ve said beforehand Joseph and his team had everything done with this horse. We didn’t have to do any schooling only do some little different things and take him to different places. If you gave me money to go out and buy a La Touche winner Busselton wouldn’t be the horse. He’s only about 15-3. Darragh sits into him so well and they are a great combination. He’s a great little horse, very sound, and everyone at home loves him. The good ground helps those horses (Flat-bred) get the trip. You won’t be seeing him in the height of winter. We may go to Killarney now for the long-distance chase there and try and do it all again next year. I think there is still more in him, he’s still only nine.
