I was so glad I went to leopardstown yesterday (was up all night saturday - no sleep).. What a bloody great race. I was a tad sad as I told my friend that the 9-1 on Hardy was calling my name to have a bet. decided to watch race instead. Hardy is such a great horse.. People say Brave Inca is tough but this guy matches him.. Brave ran a good race but by his lofty standards, people will be disappointed with that.. macs Joy ran an absolute cracker.. He was cruising coming round the turn and it looked like he just blew up in the final 2f.. Lounaos ran a stormer and looks the top juvi hurdler though i was impressed with Katchit and Good Bye Simon and i really like Degas Art.

People think Detroit City's claims have been strengthened but he basically had a sprint against Hardy and I really fancy him reversing form with Detroit. he can lead, he can come from behind and borrowing a well used phrase, he is as tough as old boots..

It's a golen age for hurdlers and we're lucky to see be witnesses..
