Curragh Thu, 15th Oct, 2026  Mymomentintime He was as fit as he actually ever was in his life. Bursting was his problem a couple of years ago. He was due to run earlier in the year, but he put a splint out and was lame for two months. So maybe that time off might have helped him, I don't know. Whether I'll come back here now the last day will be another thing. Sometimes we used to run him back and he used to quench. I'd say maybe he was bursting inward and we didn't know it. He has plenty of ability and he still would have needed the run even though he looked ready enough. He'll have bottom weight the next day and will be out of the handicap, but he loves that ground. With lightweights, you just don't know when they get a bit of confidence back in themselves again.
