Sligo Sun, 5th May, 2024  War Thunder I didn't particularly fancy him. He's a grand horse and had a bit of form. He'd a few runs in Galway that were okay. One of them was behind a horse of mine, Golden Sandbanks, and even that run was probably good enough to win this race. I'm not allowed ride him, but I rode him a few times and didn't like him too much!. He showed more in the race than he has been doing on the gallops. He stayed at it well and we just left everything (headgear) off him for his first run (for us). It wasn't a great race, but he got the job done. The owner (Old Stock Partnership) has stuck with him and deserved some kind of reward.

Dundalk Fri, 22nd Dec, 2023  Freescape He would have been favourite if he hadn't run the last day (finished eighth). He kind of clipped heels and whether he just got a bit unbalanced or whatever, I don't know. We decided to run a bit more positively tonight and the fractions looked good at halfway, so were delighted. We were in the right place. He's a very good horse and he's a very dangerous horse around here. He's a super horse to own, he's eight and he thinks he's three!. He'll have one more run here and he'll get an entry in the Winter Derby. It has been transferred this year to Southwell from Lingfield. Southwell will suit him better than Lingfield.
