I have the Donegal colours on, we’re supporting them for Sunday. I’ve done my part winning today!. He’s been knocking on the door, he’s a real character. He’s there or thereabouts anytime and runs his race all the time. He’s a bit of a handful. It’s good to get him over the line. Hopefully now it’s onwards to Galway. Hopefully he’ll get in at the backend of the week. He likes soft ground. I have four altogether for Galway, most of them are out of claimers. We have God Knows on Tuesday and Dick Donohoe has a couple of mine as well, hopefully they get into the mix as well. P Sweeney, trainer
