After race at Downpatrick Fri, 10th Oct, 2025 (1st)  It was great, Conor said he took a big blow after he jumped the third-last and he just filled him up. Ian Patrick Donoghue

After race at Wexford Fri, 8th Aug, 2025 (1st)  He’s been a good buy now even if he never wins again. It’s the first horse the boys (Kilkenny Racing Syndicate) have had and he’s honest. I wish I had a yard of them like him. Conor said he didn’t realise how far ahead he was after the last but he’s that honest and would gallop all day. We’ll probably give him a break now and we’ll make use of his chase mark hopefully. Ian Patrick Donoghue

After race at Wexford Thu, 24th Jul, 2025 (1st)  He won a four-year-old maiden point-to-point and, while maybe he could have had issues, we took a punt with him. He wasn't cheap - he was £7,000 and, for a horse rated what he was, it was dear enough. I was there the day he won his point-to-point and he was like that, very tough. We said we'd take a chance on him and it worked out, thank God. We had a list going to Doncaster for the lads and this is their first ever horse. Dean is in charge of the syndicate and he saw an Instagram story of mine and then asked me for my number and rang me and said he wouldn't mind getting a horse. He gave me a budget and they were loyal now because I couldn't find anything for two or three months. We got this lad eventually and he is two from two for them now. We will hopefully give him a break now. I think on winter ground he might be a bit better. He is probably the slowest horse we have, but he is honest and tries and it means an awful lot. I know from the point-to-point game with four-year-olds who'd be working all over him, but then they'd pull up. He has heart, though, and tries hard. Conor was good on him and I was happy that it was Sean O'Keeffe alongside him (on Close Enough) and not some young lad getting run away with. I know Sean is very good and Conor is very good. They set their fractions well and they finished one, two. I was surprised that the boys left them off so far. Ian Patrick Donoghue

After race at Roscommon Mon, 7th Jul, 2025 (1st)  I was there the day he won his point-to-point and he looked very honest and hardy, he got up to win that day. His runs in England were obviously poor enough, over shorter trips. . Conor knows him well. He comes into us a day a week and is a good help. It's the boys' (Kilkenny Racing Syndicate) first horse so they've been lucky now. They are next door to Joseph O'Brien so it's nice to rob an owner from down there! Ian Patrick Donoghue
