Cork Sun, 5th Nov, 2023  Sir Bob That was grand and was great that it worked out as his jumping kept him in it. He is inclined to be lazy through his races but once he was there turning in, I thought he had a great chance. Staying is his job and he was unlucky in Punchestown (last April) when only beaten in a phot finish having been jumped across at the last fence. This is well deserved and he is tough. We were happy with his first run back over hurdles but disappointed with his second run although today's extra distance helped. This is my first time winning this race, it is a good pot and he is an 11 year old so it is great to get it. He is getting near the edge in handicaps now but we'll look to the Porterstown Chase and to longer-distance hurdles now.
