After race at Down Royal Fri, 8th Sep, 2023 (1st)

Frankie actually made it for him as he set it up for us. He got them racing early and they followed him. He was able to come through which was great. It is fantastic for Seamus (Hunt, owner) and his wife and kids, one of his daughters works for Grant Thornton. They were all here. More of the same for this fella, he will probably go to the Curragh for a two-mile race on the day of the (Irish) Cesarewitch, it is a 0-90. He proved today that he stays 2m2f which I suppose will open a lot of doors. He has won over jumps, but he is just not the bravest over jumps.

After race at Curragh Tue, 26th Oct, 2021 (1st)

I'm so thrilled for the young lad because he rides all the work at home. He's been with me all last season and he's a smasher. He served his time with Kevin (Prendergast) as an apprentice. I'm sure he'll get a few rides now over the winter on the all-weather after that. He's a grand chap, a lovely lad, who works hard so I'm delighted for him. It's amazing as everyone has ridden him. Colin (Keane) has ridden him I don't know how many times to be second and Chris (Hayes) has ridden him to be second. He's in the sales next week but whether he goes or not now I don't know.
