After race at Killarney Fri, 23rd Aug, 2019 (1st)
That was well deserved but most importantly Rocket Lad and David are up okay,. A lot of thanks must go to John Bleahen who mentioned the horse to me, and my wife Natalie is into him with three guys from Moycullen. They had a horse with me before that got a fall and was killed one day at Fontwell. This fella will probably step-up in trip now.
