“He'll have a penalty for the La Touche now anyway!” said trainer Enda Bolger.
“He travelled so sweet. Last week we put blinkers on him because he ran in a couple of hurdle races and ran terrible lazy.
“He was on fire everywhere today. Even though Donie (McInerney) lost his whip on the run-in he didn't need it.
“It's a pleasant surprise but he was always showing that there was one of those type of races in him.
“He'll probably go to the cross-country in Cheltenham and we'll see after that.
“This is where we want to be and it goes to show how good those La Touche races can be as well.
“Today is different and it will be well celebrated tonight.”

Josies had a poor prep last year coming into this after along lay off. You can't discount him around the banks. As we've see today with ballycasey. Experiance in these races is key. They made more use of him today with the blinkers on.
And we all know he stays all day round there.
After josies orders win today
Bolger said:- “You probably know where we are heading! He stays well and sees it out, and we’ll try and keep him in one piece now for March.
“They weren’t bad horses in it this year, it was a good test and the timing is just right.
“His ears were pricked and that’s why those things (blinkers) are on him. I’m chuffed with that, and it’s poignant that it was in the race for my old boss (P P Hogan).
“Hopefully Auvergnat will go to Cheltenham as well. We were just dodging the ground with him, and he might have a prep run somewhere over hurdles.”Last edited by Scooby91; 10 February 2019, 09:16 PM.https://scooby91horseracingtips.com/
