Downpatrick Sun, 13th Aug, 2023  Robindevidastar He has been disappointing, he won a handicap for me last year and just lost his way hence the blinkers and make the running. We ran him over a shorter distance here and he didn't get his own way and was bustled back in a messy race. John and Philomena (Shanahan) have been mega patient because most people would quit with a few of his runs. I didn't know why he wasn't performing as well as he was working. I felt coming up here today that there wasn't a huge amount of pace and it was an opportunity for him. The horses are flying and are in good form, we had a winner yesterday as well. That is 11 winners for the season and about 30 placed horses. We have a small team but I have an exceptional staff and exceptional owners and it is making life very easy. There is a huge team effort going in at home. When you walk into the yard in the morning, you wouldn't like to be anywhere else in the world.
