After race at Killarney Sun, 12th May, 2019 (1st)

I'd like to thank Pat and Mike Fennessy who sent us the mare for the year and she is the stable star for us. She'll run away for the summer and we'll have plenty fun with her and she was due that one as every day she goes she tries. She won her point-to-point on soft but she goes on anything and is an honest mare. We have a small yard and have mostly four-year-old point-to-pointers who we try to sell on. We have a handful of track horses and she could go back over hurdles at some stage soon.

Paul O'Flynn

After race at Downpatrick Sun, 26th Mar, 2017 (1st)

She's a nice filly, Barry (Connell, owner) bought her as a three-year-old out of France. She was third over hurdles first time out (was less than six lengths off Apple's Jade). She's a lovely filly and has shown us plenty. She's after growing since we got her and every time we were ready to run we sort of backed off. Denis (O'Regan) was quite pleased with her there. He said she pricked her ears in front. Hopefully she might improve again. I'm not sure where we will go, it will probably be Fairyhouse or Punchestown with a bit of luck.
