22 4211 Summit Meeting 4, 11-6 (29) (Howard Spooner) Mrs John HarringtonHe's the one for me - That bumper win of his is working out better and better all the time!
Did me a nice favour last time out I think in Punchestown.
He was a springer for his bumper in Listowel where I got caught laying at a much bigger than his SP.
He was a good second to one of Tom Mullins which has been sold for big money to the UK.
