This is my first winner at Galway and it was the only race for the horse this week. I'm delighted for Jim Keogh the owner. He was one of my first owners and has been very good to me. He owns a pub in Longford and I'd imagine he could be very busy tonight!. The handicapper gave us a great chance by not putting him up for finishing second at the Curragh and he loves this ground.
