After race at Cork Sun, 15th Apr, 2018 (1st)  I know it was only four runners but they have to go through the ground. Last year we thought he was a good ground horse but he has turned inside out over the winter. Seamie (Heffernan) said all last year he was on the weak side,. I'm not sure where we go from here but he is very good and I think the handicapper can't be as harsh as the winning distance because the others couldn't go. There are handicaps for him at the Guineas and Derby weekend and we'll also see what's in the U.K. We'll see how the handicapper reacts but hopefully he won't react the way he could if he wanted.

After race at Killarney Mon, 17th Jul, 2017 (1st)  He's a lovely horse and is obviously by the right sire! . I was just worrying was he going to be a victim of finishing third and fourth and he deserved that. He should have won his maiden here but was boxed in on the rail and Seamie (Heffernan) came in and put his hands up and has put it right today and kicked at the right time and just held on. It's great for Ray Treacy who flew into Farranfore at lunchtime and is based in Bedfordshire but is originally from near me at Cloughjordan. He has three or four horses with me and is a great supporter of mine. My horses are in good form and it will be a long week here hopefully. We were thinking of running him in the mile handicap at Galway next. Colm Sharkey, who buys some horses for us, picked him up at the Doncaster Horses In Training Sale. He phoned me and said he had an unraced Galileo from David O'Meara's who David thought was a bit weak and you could do worse than put him away and could be a bumper horse. But when we started to gallop him, he had too much speed for a bumper, so we won't complain - he was a steal for E5,000. Denis Gerard Hogan
