What a superstar of a horse -just watched a recording of him winning a Group 1 in Australia under a tremendous ride from Craig Williams.Trainer said his objective for the year was to win Group 1's in Australia,Asia and America.He must have an amazing constitution.
 
Fantastic result, and shows what the man can do with the right animal. they waited a long time for a good one, and without him I don't think he would still be training. A superstar
 
Tom Hogan's father bought his first mare in 1927.
He took the train to Blarney, saw a mare, liked what he saw, bought her and brought her home.
She was an ancestress of Glencarraig Lady, Cheltenham Gold Cup winner in 1972, a dyslexic 1927. !
A wonderful trainer and entertainer I am absolutely delighted for him.
All he needs now is to win a race at Bellewstown for a winner at every Irish race track.
Gordon an example of how patience, patience and more patience are the three most important requirements in racehorse ownership !
 
Drawn 11 this Saturday. Hopefully there's a few more showers between now and then.

I'll be there to cheer him on. Fingers crossed he runs his race and picks up some nice prize money. Win would be phenomenal!!
 
Will do Eddie.

Nice drop of rain here all day today.
Conditions should be right up his street, and inconvenience plenty others I would think.
