He won a four-year-old maiden point-to-point and, while maybe he could have had issues, we took a punt with him. He wasn't cheap - he was £7,000 and, for a horse rated what he was, it was dear enough. I was there the day he won his point-to-point and he was like that, very tough. We said we'd take a chance on him and it worked out, thank God. We had a list going to Doncaster for the lads and this is their first ever horse. Dean is in charge of the syndicate and he saw an Instagram story of mine and then asked me for my number and rang me and said he wouldn't mind getting a horse. He gave me a budget and they were loyal now because I couldn't find anything for two or three months. We got this lad eventually and he is two from two for them now. We will hopefully give him a break now. I think on winter ground he might be a bit better. He is probably the slowest horse we have, but he is honest and tries and it means an awful lot. I know from the point-to-point game with four-year-olds who'd be working all over him, but then they'd pull up. He has heart, though, and tries hard. Conor was good on him and I was happy that it was Sean O'Keeffe alongside him (on Close Enough) and not some young lad getting run away with. I know Sean is very good and Conor is very good. They set their fractions well and they finished one, two. I was surprised that the boys left them off so far.
