After race at Dundalk Fri, 12th Feb, 2021 (1st)
that's great and I'm delighted with him. He had a nice smooth run from his last race to this and we were hoping he'd go and do something like that, I thought he was quite taking. Dusty (Shane Foley) said he's still a baby. It's messy out there with the head-wind and everything. He said he just went away and did it fairly well. We can have a look at a variety of options for him now but it's nice to get a win with him.
