Dad took over the licence when my grandad (David) passed away and he has stepped into the role very well. This it huge, as we put this syndicate of lads together after Michael O’Sullivan died. Michael was our best friend and everyone was in my house one evening when this horse came up for sale, so I said ‘lads we’ll throw in a few quid and it’ll keep us together’. That was the idea - for having days out, but not really expecting to go and win. It’s a little bit emotional because you’d love if Mick was here with us, it’s all in memory of him and he’s definitely looking down on us. I would have loved if it was me or Alex (Harvey, brother) in the saddle but hopefully this is the first of many for the horse and for Dad.

He rode him perfectly, I spelt it out to him but he listens and he will get on well that lad. The horse is handicapped on his old form and it just took a few runs to get him going. When he came past me I was kind of wondering (if he would be caught), but he picked up well. Hopefully there is another one in him. The lads bought into him for a bit of craic and he has done his job now. Betrayed is entered for here next Friday and she might run. She got 5lb for winning so we'll see, he didn't miss her!
