Kalsman delights Lennon in Down Royal
A nice performance. We always thought he was a good horse. He just had a wee slight hiccup last year, so we gave him a year off. His comeback run (sixth in Downpatrick) was quite good when he made the running and just got tired the last 50 yards. Today worked out fine, Caragh was good on him. Caragh rides a lot of work for us and, a small team like us, we have to repay the people that are good to you. He has schooled over fences and we will probably put him over fences next. He would be a nice horse to go to England with - Willie (Anderson, owner) likes a weekend away in England. He loves the good ground.

His trip is three and a-half (miles) plus. He had a lovely run in the Porterstown and it worked out very well. Just had no luck with him after that. He ran well the last day, but he was due that win. When you go back through his form, it was pretty good. Without a doubt (going out in trip) - you won't get too many races over three miles, two (furlongs). There is one coming back here. and Danny said he might get into the Kerry National. He was third as a novice in Punchestown over nearly four miles. It is great to get it.
