After race at Wexford Wed, 28th May, 2025 (1st)

It's a great local winner because I bought him off Jamie Codd, my brother-in-law. Billy, Jamie's father, bred him and my sister Robyn is here too. He is owned by a good man from Laois, John Rowney. He had winter form and he handles a bit of nice ground so it's lovely to have him. He is a nice-moving horse and he'll stay going once the ground is safe over the summer.
