Clonmel Thu, 3rd Oct, 2024  U Asking Me Eoin and the lads had him in good nick and he had his wind done after his last run. In fairness to Philip Enright (jockey) after his last run he said to get it done so credit to him and it made the difference. He had previously shown snippets of form and his work at home had been good, but had been disappointing on the track. That was grand, they went a good gallop and I was just hunting away the whole way. I was able to find my way through them and then had something (Hatfield Hammer) to aim at.

Sligo Wed, 2nd Oct, 2024  Ballagh Star He'd been running so well over hurdles but really needed a fence and gave an exhibition of jumping. It's a tough game for the smaller yards but days like this are great.

Galway Mon, 9th Sep, 2024  The Wallpark He has his own way of doing it, but has an engine and is a grand honest horse. Jack said if they had gone faster it would have suited better, as he didn't like being in front. He definitely wants three miles and we'll go to Cheltenham for a Pertemps Qualifier in October now. He's a good horse and will go chasing next year.

Kilbeggan Fri, 6th Sep, 2024  Pray Tell He had good form. I was worried about the trip, I dropped him back a lot, but I said I'd take a chance,. He won well, he's a lovely horse. We might go for another hurdle, we'll see how he comes out of this. . He got boxed in at Galway and Phillip (Enright) said to me that the next day he'd take beating. He was happy with him. It was maybe a big quick for him in Galway, he's not the fastest horse. I'm just so happy he won this evening. He's a three-miler really. I was worried about the going but Johnny said he went away well and he was happy enough.

Ballinrobe Mon, 26th Aug, 2024  Tell Me This her form-figures would put off many a jockey from riding her but Tom knows her well, she is actually very good to jump and will jump a fence in time. She's a lovely big mare which we got from Nina Carberry and she had been unlucky until now, although had a very good first run for us in a competitive maiden hurdle at Downpatrick. There were plenty of fancied horses today and she has probably handled that ground better than the summer horses.

Killarney Sat, 24th Aug, 2024  Ask Cillian I was hoping she would be in the top four and maybe placed, but didn't think she'd run that well. She is a nice filly and deserved her win. I have my license over a year, that's my second winner and it is a family business, with people who help out. Jack is local to me in Monivea so comes in to school for me and we've ten horses in at the moment.

Galway Sat, 3rd Aug, 2024  The Wallpark We thought the step up in trip would suit him, he was very tough and I’m delighted for (owner) Fran (Mangan), who put his money down and bought him and is now getting his rewards. Beacon Edge also ran a great race under top-weight to finish fourth and the whole way through his career he has been a right horse, but is difficult to place. The winner is a horse on the way up and it was almost the toss of a coin for which one Jack would pick and there was nothing between them in the race. It was a nice pot to win and The Wallpark could now end up trying to qualify for a Pertemps Final at Cheltenham. Fran is actually down in Kerry playing golf today, so I’ll give him some stick over that! I’m delighted for him.
