Galway Tue, 8th Oct, 2024  Ragmans Corner He was a bit unlucky in Ballinrobe and Jack felt he didn't handle the track in Downpatrick,. This race looked winnable on his two runs before that. He was fourth in a maiden here on the Flat, and that was a very good run. He's a grand little horse, he was weak and took time but he's improving all the time. Jack said there are a couple more days in him. We'll try and get a mark with him on the Flat, he probably wouldn't be good enough to win a maiden but should be able to compete on the Flat at some stage. I'd say he's not a horse that will jump a fence, he's a bit small. When we ran him on maidens he ran well on winter ground but that would be his ground there. He shows nothing at home and it's very hard to be confident coming here with him. You'd be getting him scoped and taking bloods before he runs because boys were thinking he's dead in himself all week. I was thinking would I run him or not but the bloods were perfect so I said I'd take the chance.
