After race at Dundalk Thu, 21st Dec, 2017 (1st)  The horses are running well and we've been very happy with his last two runs here,. He seems to have taken to the track and he's improving well. He had a confidence issue before but he seems to be running more confident now, travelling better into the bridle. We had a tongue-tie on him before, during the summer, and since we took it off he's been travelling way better. He'll keep on the go here. As long as they're healthy and racing like that we'll keep racing. P J F Murphy

After race at Dundalk Wed, 6th Dec, 2017 (1st)  That’s my first double. The horses are going well and we knew he was in good form. He went close the last day and got a bit lonely on the rail. I thought the same thing was going to happen today but in fairness to Ben in got him home well. The horse needed every pound of Ben’s claim and he’s great value for it. He’s not the sort of horse you would run back too soon but we may get him out just before Christmas. There is a chance that Koybig may run before Christmas as well. He’s not doing anything wrong and we’ll mind him and see how he is after today. I have four in training at the moment and have a restricted licence in Castlecomer. I’m actually doing the course at the moment to get a full licence and came here from doing that this morning. Hopefully I’ll have the full licence in a few months time. P J F Murphy
