I don't have him that long and that's just his third run for me. He was a good horse in his day and the handicapper gave him his chance today but I thought he'd need the run. I'm a farrier by trade and have six horses in training. Unfortunately this horse's previous owner Billy Perry, from Killenaule, died eight weeks ago.

I'm delighted with that as I was hoping over the winter that he would show he's a good horse. He's shown that now, and we'll go for a big handicap at the Curragh on Guineas weekend. Fran said he might handle a stiff seven furlongs but a good mile seems to suit him.

It's great to get it right in the end. I was probably running him over the wrong distances early on as he has a lot of toe,. He's a half-brother to Debussyso is bred to be able to run a bit. He's a horse that goes on fast ground so hopefully will be ok after that. We'll see if Lightening can strike in two places and come back again. There is a rated race for him next Wednesday and I'll try and freshen him up. He had a few little problems in the spring and that's why he was running in the autumn. He have him fairly right now. I was a tiny bit disappointed with his run last time but when I got home I realised they had broke the track record and it was in fact a hell of a run. He was a tiny bit fresh today. Because of the snow he missed his last blow out but it did him no harm. He's only getting warmed up now and hopefully he'll be a nice horse for next year.
