Navan Sat, 27th Apr, 2024  Boher Road He sees out 1m5f, he sees out 2m. He has won over 2m1f over hurdles. He is a horse that likes to get his own way - he dictates to the jockey instead of the jockey to him. We just play along with him. He was running a cracker the last day (in Fairyhouse) until he decided to do what he did. I don't know what got into his head - he has a tendency to jump a bit right, but that was just completely out of character for him. He enjoyed that today and it is his second win on the track, so he obviously likes it. Ronan said that trip is fine and the way he finished out you wouldn't object to running him over two mile on the Flat either. He's a little bit hit or miss, but he is a very good horse.

He gave her a masterclass, I know it looks simple but he got the fractions spot-on on that ground. I was half-afraid to make the running but Sean rode in the first race, reported it wasn't bottomless so I said, ‘Sean, get as much money as you can!’. Jamie (Berrigan) is over the syndicate and has had a few Doubting Thomases but I think we shut them up. She’d probably win more but is hard on herself at home, although when she comes racing, she switches off.
