He's a solid horse in Dundalk and probably wants top of the ground. The last day in Gowran the ground went on us,.

I still say he's a 65 horse. This is his game and when he steps out of this grade he can't step up,. He's only won a short-head and that's his company. He's honest and that's what gets him through. He loves the track, the trip suits him and he has a massive heart. It's good to have him. That's Garry Fleming's first winner as an owner. He's a professor in Trinity College and he adores the game. I'm thrilled and honoured to give him his first winner.

He’s a solid horse up here but needs a good strong ride, and Dusty gave him a peach,. He is what he is, a 0-65 handicapper, and he could come back here later in the month. That’s my first winner of the year but we’ve had eight seconds.

This is a great winner. Mr Kavanagh is a little sick and is in hospital at the moment so hopefully this will be a good tonic for him. He's a great supporter of Irish racing, not just me,. I also have to thank the young lad Kevin who does all the work with him at home. He wouldn't be half the horse without him. He's a hardy little bugger and loves Dundalk. Anywhere from a mile to a mile-and-a-half suits him and he has plenty of guts.

I thought he didn't get enough credit coming into this as he should. He loves it around here. He had a bit of a break and the run at Naas put him spot on for this. I'm delighted and thrilled for his owner. He's a good tough solid horse and hopefully he can win a couple more races.

S M Duffy

After race at Dundalk Fri, 17th Apr, 2015 (1st)

He was very unlucky the last day when he got a run on Conor down the back. We always knew he'd get a trip but he needed to settle. I have to thank Conor Hoban for telling us to step up in trip. He probably doesn't quicken but he lengthens and he needs a clear run. He gets there well in the end but if you break his stride it's hard to get him started again.

S M Duffy

After race at Dundalk Fri, 24th Oct, 2014 (1st)

I only have the horse a short while, and he was only beaten a length here last time which put him right there with a chance. We rode him to stay a mile tonight and it proved just perfect. He's probably better fresh and I only half train him. He'll definitely win another one up here. I'm delighted for the owner (Eugene Kavanagh) who is a good friend and a very good owner.
