Curragh Tue, 31st Oct, 2023  Greek Flower She won well again and the last day gave her a bit of confidence. . She’s in again on Sunday so we’ll see how we go. . She flew through that ground and it’s nice for Jamie going for the apprentice title.

Navan Wed, 18th Oct, 2023  Greek Flower It was grand, it worked out well. He's a great young rider and I'm delighted she won. I thought she would have won before now, but she was only touched off a few times. She is versatile trip-wise and she will come back next year for a few handicaps again. She wants soft.

Gowran Park Tue, 17th Oct, 2023  Feathertop `That was good, she ran well here earlier in the season. We were a little bit disappointed with her at the Curragh last time but she just got a bit stuck in the ground. The form of Joseph's horse (Maxux) has worked out well as that went on to win a Group 3. We'll see how she is, I know on ratings she has a bit to find to go into stakes company but we might find something before the end of the season. There is the Finale Stakes over a mile-and-a-half (Curragh November 5th) on the last day. I'd imagine she could stay in training for next year. She's a filly that's really only getting strong now and filling out. She could be a nice one for the early part of next season as she appreciates that ground. We were running her on good ground in the middle part of the season, albeit she handled it, but she really relishes that softer going.

Curragh Sun, 24th Sep, 2023  Magellan Strait It's a fantastic win. A great run and a great ride from Hugh,. He's not been the most consistent horse in the world but when he runs his race he generally runs a good race. Hugh got a great tune out of him today. He stays very well and stamina has always been his thing. That's what he did today, he outstayed them. I'm delighted for Ray, he bred the horse. He's run some very good races and he's had a few disappointing runs in the middle of it. It's a big day today for everyone. Hugh's instructions were to go forward, get a nice position, and make sure that stamina counted and to go out on his sword. He committed at the bottom of the straight and he kept galloping. The second horse ran a great race, carrying a lot of weight, two weeks after the Leger. It was a great run, he got a lovely run around, and I'm very proud of his run again.

Leopardstown Sat, 9th Sep, 2023  Satin She was good. I thought she'd run very well, she was very unlucky in the Shergar Cup as she got locked in and I thought that was her day with the small field there. The cheekpieces helped her today, she wasn't intimidated by the other horses which really helped. She showed a great turn of foot. I was worried for a second that he would get her out and then it was grand. We did a lot of shouting!. She's a good filly. We thought a lot of her last year and we ran her in the fillies' Listed race here last year, she finished 10th in it and we were disappointed. She's won on slow ground, but Shane said she absolutely hops off that good ground. We'll look for a stakes race and hopefully keep her in training next year. She'll be a lovely mile-and-six filly.

Leopardstown Sat, 9th Sep, 2023  Adelaide River I'm delighted. Ryan said if he had a choice of 10 or 14 (furlongs) he'd definitely go 10 on him because he relaxes, but he does quicken,. He's a lovely big horse and we've always viewed him as a next year horse. We always thought he was kind of like Duke Of Marmalade, as he's after competing in big ones and getting very close in them but he's such a big horse that he's definitely going to have to be a way better horse next year.

Navan Sat, 2nd Sep, 2023  Stay Local She's after coming to herself in the last couple of weeks there. I was quietly confident coming here. He was very good on her, he has a good head and a good pair of hands - a great lad. I'm hoping to get her out in a couple of weeks.

Curragh Sun, 20th Aug, 2023  Shamida She was in Cork on Friday night but we withdrew her because of the ground. She’s a good actioned filly and would never want the ground too soft. I’d say she will have one more run this year and I’d say it will be the Prix Royallieu, it’s the Group 1 mile and six for fillies and mares. It’s kind of written for her. This is a very game, tough three-year-old. She’s an immature filly and I think she will improve. Two of the horses she faced today won at Royal Ascot and it was a very good trial. She’s a stayer with speed.

Galway Fri, 4th Aug, 2023  Countess Of Tyrone She's a nice filly, she's a sister of Earl Of Tyrone that we had last year, and it's great to get her started. I thought she'd run a nice race today and I'm thrilled that she won. He probably intended to be a little bit closer than he was, but he was where he was. At the top he angled himself out to track Chris (Hayes) and he looked comfortable, his two elbows were in by his side coming down into the dip and up the hill and I thought we had a chance. She's been with a couple of different pre-trainers and Brian O'Connor, in Kilkenny, did a very good job with her before she came to me. I purposefully left her out, brought her in in the spring and we've taken our time and she was just ready to start. I think she'll be a nice four-year-old and up. Robert (Moran, owner) is in Ireland and he'd love to have been here tonight and he'd love to see her out again so she might have another run this year but I'd say it's very much next year with her.

Down Royal Fri, 28th Jul, 2023  Herculaneum That was a fair ride! My wee girl rides him at home every day and every time we go to the beach she sweetens him up and keeps kidding him on. I said we would maybe put a lady jockey on him. She did brilliantly today. Maybe the blinkers worked as well. He's a grand wee horse to have in the yard, an honest tryer. The syndicate is all local people beside us and it is is a local horse. It is a great result. I have these owners as long as any I have, maybe 15 years.

Ballinrobe Mon, 24th Jul, 2023  Moonlit Mist She's a staying type of filly and we were a little bit worried about whether she'd handle the track or be a bit green. There's more improvement to come from her. I think she's a nice filly going forward and I just love the sire, Australia. He gets very genuine horses.

Leopardstown Thu, 13th Jul, 2023  Shamida Tactics still win races and it was a very good ride by Chris Hayes. That was the plan and he executed to perfection. She is an improving filly and is improving with every run. Hopefully she continues to progress. Now that she is a Group 3 winner we will probably look at the Park Hill, the Group 2 at Doncaster. I’d like to give her a bit of time between her races. She’s a very genuine filly and I love the way she battles. She doesn’t know how to quit.
