After race at Wexford Fri, 5th Aug, 2022 (1st)

That win is for Paddy Bolger. He was a terrific friend of mine and is an unbelievable loss to the Bolger family and to humanity, so that's for him. He is a grand horse who could do with a bit better ground as there was plenty of water on it. That win will do him the power of good and he jumped very well.

Brendan W Duke

After race at Leopardstown Fri, 25th May, 2018 (1st)

He's owned by Sam McCauley (chemist retailer) who lives on Rectory Road in Enniscorthy and this is his first Flat horse. I think he's a very nice horse and he's a great looker. He's easier to manage than his sire and has his guts. There are two big seven-furlong races on his agenda, the National Stakes and the Dewhurst, and whatever comes inbetween.
