After race at Punchestown Mon, 31st Dec, 2018 (1st)  That was great for Brid and Frances (Collison, owner/breeders) who are next door neighbours of mine,. This was a difficult horse but he's actually starting to settle well. Fair play to Shane Mulcahy who did all the hard work with him. He got injured off this lad in Naas, he fractured his sternum, so he left the ride for me today. I'd never ridden him in a chase but when I saw the decs yesterday morning I thought he had a big chance. He ran very well behind Seskin Flyer in Thurles and the winner franked that form in Limerick. It's great and they are all running well. I needed that as I got a few penalty points on the way up the road, so that will pay for that! Denis Gerard Hogan

After race at Thurles Thu, 29th Nov, 2018 (1st)  The young lad is improving as much as the horse and he gave him a super ride. This is a difficult horse and he gets on great with him. He is a huge horse, 17 hands, and is hard work and rides out on his own. He is after settling down this year and we've learned how to handle him and get up on him out on the track. The hardest part is getting him to the start and once he gets there, Shane can manage the rest but he's a young mans ride!. Shane is improving and is a grafter and works day and night. We were doing a job last week on the gallop and he gave me a hand until all hours of the night in the heavy rain and he deserves everything he gets and I'll be supporting him plenty. It's great for Francis and Brid Collison who are neighbours of mine and this is my first winner for them. Denis Gerard Hogan
