After race at Cork Fri, 13th Jun, 2025 (1st) 
He hit the front a long way out, which he doesn't like as he idles in front so I think he won very easily. ,. We knew he'd come on from Naas and I think he'll improve from today. We didn't abuse him as a two-year-old and trained him so he would improve. I was a bit worried when I saw the shower of rain and, while I have never run him on soft, he always gives us the impression that he is a fast-ground horse. I had a few races picked out for him, he'll go for the Sapphire Stakes next and it'll all lead to the Flying Five (Curragh Group 1 in September). That and the Prix de l'Abbaye (Longchamp) are the dream races and he is a great horse to have.

He stumbled coming to the line in Tipperary and we felt that's what got him beat. He had a little high suspensory injury. . We took him up to Stephanie Moore who has a spa and he's only back on the go five or six weeks. . I was going to bring him here today for a piece of work, because I want to go for the Legacy Stakes. When I saw this race I said he might as well run. . I've never had anything as fast as him. Today was a gallop for the Legacy. He's a good horse and the owner is in no hurry to sell him which is lucky for me. . I'd say he'd stay six but he has so much speed, why change it. He's hacking all over those a furlong down.

I think he is a very good horse and he idled in front. I'll get him another run before going for the Windsor Castle (Royal Ascot), as he was doing nothing only looked around. I was hearing so many things coming down here, I thought I was actually running in the Windsor Castle! . He had 9st6lb on his back and was giving a stone-and-a-half to some, so he is a fair horse. He was a bit green the last day, I think today's race was a proper one and I don't think ground is an issue for him. Kevin Walsh bred him, owns him with his sons and is from over the road in Dualla. Kevin has had horses with me for 10 years and while this is his best horse, he is lucky. I was with him at Goresbridge (in 2017) where we bought this lame filly by Society Rock for just €3,000 but she was from a really good family and she bred Powerful Nation.
