After race at Leopardstown Sun, 30th Mar, 2025 (1st) 
He gets his turn every so often and is a prolific winner in the past. He’s a nine-year-old now and there is still life in him. We’ll go on for the summer with him and I’m delighted for Paul (Sweeney, owner) who is a gentleman to train for. It’s a nice day to get a winner and he could come back as he seems to like it around here. He’s a real pet of a horse and he was swinging there with Shane and really loving it. He’s still enjoying life even after all the miles that he’s put up over the years.

He's a grand horse, he's been a prolific winner all his life,. We were wondering would he go on soft but he ran well on it in Leopardstown the last day, you need a soft ground horse in this country nowadays!. (Front-running) is suitable around here all the time. He's always very straightforward, very quick out and always in front. It's a fair old advantage around here. He's a good fun horse and I'm delighted for the owner Paul Sweeney who is a good supporter of mine. I'm delighted to get the odd winner for him. Ground doesn't seem to matter now so we'll keep going with him while he's running well.
