Fairyhouse Sat, 30th Mar, 2024  So Des Flos She gave him a great ride and he jumped like a buck for him the whole way,. She's a daughter of Johnny Butler who trains in England. She won on him in December and started to come in and ride out a morning a week with me. I'm delighted for her. It's great to win Fred Kenny's race as well.

Navan Sat, 2nd Mar, 2024  Instant Tendance She's tough and honest. On her run in a maiden hurdle here she was probably entitled to win. It's great for Caren, she's a big supporter of the yard and that's her first winner since Aidan passed away. We'll try and get a bit of black-type with her somewhere. It was a good run today and she's very tough.

Leopardstown Sat, 3rd Feb, 2024  Jeroboam Machin He's a nice horse and he definitely saves his best for the track. Watching him working the last few weeks wouldn't inspire anyone. I said after his first bumper that he doesn't show much at home but anytime we bring him away he lights up. I don't mind what he does at home once he saves his best for the track.

Leopardstown Sat, 3rd Feb, 2024  Jeroboam Machin Watching him work the last few weeks wouldn’t inspire confidence and I think I said the same after his debut, he doesn’t show much at home. But any time we take him away he lights up and I don’t mind what he does at home if he saves his best for the track. He’s green but I don’t know if that will come out of him, he comes up the gallop at home as quick with a 90-rated horse as he does a 140-horse, that’s just him. I’m just glad he’s got that bit of class. There’s plenty of horses we have that fall by the wayside, but Paul’s very good, he gives me free rein. I picked this lad out of an auction point-to-point which may not have been that sexy, but I loved the way he winged the last that day.
