Going - Good - Yielding. Overcast
When you have a lad like that it’s always a bit of a worry coming out the first time,. I was worried about the ground being a bit quick and worried about how he’d jump and worried about me getting sick! I was a bit revved up about him. He jumped brilliant, which was great, other than the last. Sam said he let him into the bottom of the last because he thought he was going to pick yer man up anyway. He said he raced very lazy and only when he went for him did he pick up. I thought watching it that two-and-a-half is going to suit better than two and he thought the same thing. Initially I had thought that he’d probably go for the Royal Bond but I think now we’ll probably go for a two-and-a-half somewhere, wherever that will be. I think, that could change. I think Fairyhouse will be sharp. I’m not saying he wouldn’t have his chance in it but I think we’d be better off thinking about two-and-a-half miles. It’s grand to start going well anyway. I kept thinking about the race in Punchestown where he sort of got lost in the middle of the race. I told him to jump off handy today, we had our mind made up that we’d ride him handy enough and it worked out quite well. He’s a lovely horse. He actually grew about two inches over the summer, it was quite amazing. He filled out and got heavier. I hope we’ll have a bit of luck with him now and he keeps going on forward. We know he has ability so if we can keep him sound and keep
