After race at Dundalk Fri, 8th Mar, 2024 (1st)

You are always worried when they are a maiden if they are going to do it, but he's actually a very genuine horse. He's a big horse and probably just had a few growing issues. He has turned the corner now and hopefully he can go on and win another one. He has form on the turf and would probably jump a hurdle, he is big enough to, so there are loads of routes for him. Johnny (O'Brien, owner) has been very patient with him as he always is.
