Dundalk Fri, 23rd Feb, 2024  Noble Crusade That was good, he's just hit a vein of form. They went a good lick, which probably helped as he stays very well. It's great to have the lads here, they weren't here the last day. They are staying up for the night, they've come from Limerick and elsewhere. Keithen was very good, again he did nothing wrong. He had a bad draw but got him in and went from there - we're very happy. They've been very patient with him. You could think about stepping up to two miles, that would be an option. He's handicapped over hurdles, and I'd say he's probably a two-and-a-half mile horse over hurdles. He's a fun horse.

Dundalk Wed, 14th Feb, 2024  Noble Crusade he's (Keithen Kennedy) not making too many mistakes on my ones and in fairness, the horse had come down a lot in the weights. He had lost his way a bit and has had some physical issues - they have been holding him back. He ran well here the last day although we weren't sure about the surface, as he only ran once before that here and ran badly on his first ever run for me. The lads (No More After Hours Syndicate) have been very patient with him, so I'm delighted for them. It opens it up for us and he is also handicapped over hurdles, so he will probably go summer hurdling as well. I wouldn't say he is a horse that would love to be here every week.. He's a real honest trier of a horse so, if we can keep him right, there should be fun to be had with him.
