After race at Wexford Wed, 6th Aug, 2025 (1st) 
He'll probably get a bit of a hike for that. I just got my Flat licence granted and I might try him on the Flat as he is bred for it. We'll see how he comes out of this. It's all new to me, as I've only a had a few to run and he's been a really good servant. I got him around two years ago and while he'd won a couple of point-to-point's, he'd never won on the track. The way he won today is how he has always felt at home, so I'm just really, really happy that he was able to show it. Recently he ran a couple of times and was disappointing. I love him and he's like a child to me. I've just one other for the track at the moment and I've a couple of point-to-pointers to come in as well. I've had one point-to-point winner and I've a nice four-year-old and a nice five-year-old to come in as well, neither have ran before. I've got good support from my uncles and my family, buying horses for me. I've had horses all my life, showjumping and eventing. I work as a farrier and I ride out for different people as well. I shoe for Stuart Crawford and I shod for Gordon Elliott for a long time as well.

After race at Downpatrick Fri, 26th Apr, 2024 (1st)
I'm from Newry, Co Down. I keep the horses at Danescroft, just on the Sprucefield roundabout (outside Lisburn). I only have a point-to-pointer and a little mare and Custers Mistake. First winner, delighted. I work as a farrier as well. I was busy but then I rode out for people throughout the years and went on for my licence. Since then I have probably backed off the training. It is something I want to do more of but, at the same time, I don't have enough to pay the bills. It is a balancing act. I cant even describe it when I saw him getting up. Ronan McNally taught me quite a lot. Whenever you train on your own, it is a different buzz.
