That’s my first winner, I only have the licence since November, so it’s great. We only have five in at the minute and we’re only kind of winding up a few of the younger ones. It’s great to get the first winner under the belt. It’s a bit of a surprise. We know he’s a good horse but on the day you never know. He’s tough as nails,. He’s probably a better chaser than a hurdler and we’ll see know whether we go that way again. I’ve had a couple of point-to-point winners and a couple placed in hunters chases before but that’s my first one under rules. Hopefully I can get a couple more. David K Walsh, trainer
