Clonmel Thu, 15th May, 2025  Expound A lot of things were right for him today although we were lucky we had him entered before he won on the Flat at Ballinrobe. He likes good ground and the tracks which are usually good, or better. He was allowed to dictate, Dan (King) was able to get a 'fill' and used pole position well. I knew the owners the Corner House Syndicate would all be here as they are local in Tallow and they have been getting a great kick out of the horse.

Ballinrobe Fri, 9th May, 2025  Expound It was anxious enough there and I thought we were nabbed to be honest. It generally favours the horse coming home. He actually won in similar circumstances here before when just hanging on in a maiden, when Joey (Sheridan) rode him. The claim was a massive help and he got to dictate on a tight track. I knew from a long way out that he was in pole position and he looked sweet. In fairness to the young lad he gave him a lovely ride and got the breathers. He did everything we asked him to the letter really. He’s good value for 10lb but he’s not going to get long out of the Flat. He can only claim off 9-7 so I’d say he’ll go jump racing next season. It’s great for this syndicate (Corner House Syndicate). They are enthusiastic, they are very lucky for me and very loyal to me. They are with me with moderate horses and no good ones and they’ve hit on this lad in the last few years. Every day he runs he gets a few quid, he’s a fun horse.
