Downpatrick Sat, 13th Jun, 2026  Finnians Row He won here the last day, same with the mare (Joya Del Mar), and they seem to like it around here. Once he gets his head in front, he seems to enjoy it. That's a big help when you enjoy the place, he seems to like the hills. I fancied him today, so it was great. Maybe so (build upon that elsewhere), but they all love running in Downpatrick!. It is great for the two ladies that own him and stuck by him. He had a few stinking runs, but he seems to be back in form. We'll see what the handicapper does, but we'll keep him going. I knew coming here he was in good nick, though.

Downpatrick Fri, 8th May, 2026  Finnians Row First-time blinkers obviously, we just said we would try them. We just changed the headgear as he seemed to lose a bit of interest, so we just said we would put them on him. I'd say that is probably the difference in him. The ground was a help - he ran in a bit of slower ground the last two times and it didn't suit. He didn't enjoy it and obviously today he enjoyed it and he kept going well. He (McKenna) said he just took off with him, he said he jumped super and travelled well. He got a lead and utilised it, and kept going.
