Dundalk Fri, 31st Jan, 2025  Vierson We thought plenty of her when we bought her and she probably took a bit of time. We sort of had this race in mind over the winter and we gave her a break. We came back fresh and Jamie was excellent on her and the mare ran to the line. Very pleased with that performance and fair play to the team. I can't see why we wouldn't come back here again, maybe even step her up to a mile and a-quarter. Jamie said she loved the surface. I think she is going to go the right way now, hopefully. I don't know where she will end up, but she is a big, scopey filly. She wants a sound surface even though she has big feet.

Limerick Tue, 28th Jan, 2025  Moudan He is a grand horse, has met a few nice types along the way and I know he is six, but has strengthened this year and has taken time. The form of his recent runs has worked out and today was his day. We'll have fun with him and I don't think the handicapper will punish us too much so we'll try and win another hurdle before going over fences. He is owned by his breeder Pat McCormack, who is local and very loyal to us. He also has Soldante with me and I'm thrilled for him.
