After race at Curragh Fri, 30th Jun, 2023 (1st)
You'd be delighted with him. He was green first time and he was still a bit green today. Wayne (Lordan) rode him the first day and he liked him. He finished sixth in a good maiden (at this track). He was more professional today, but Ryan said when he got there he was still very green. He's a good cruiser and he shows plenty of class through a race. He's a big, powerful horse, he's a big No Nay Never and they are big strong horses with loads of natural speed.
