Down Royal Fri, 1st Sep, 2023  Spring Street He was good today, he has improved since the last run. We thought coming here today that he was in great form and working well. I told Darragh to keep hanging onto him, he'll jump real well. He has a sort of a Flat pedigree but the way he stayed going there today he hopefully might pick up another one somewhere. He's still only learning all the time. He has form on soft and today was grand as they got a lot of rain here yesterday so it was sort of summer soft. He would go on that but he wouldn't go on winter soft. They (syndicate) are from down the road so it is a nice one for them to get. They are just outside Belfast, so that is why I brought him up here in the first place. It is great to get one on the board for them.

Bellewstown Wed, 30th Aug, 2023  Gone For Tea She has been consistent since the first run for us and she probably disappointed the last day even though she was third - the ground went very soft in Tramore. In fairness, Peter (Murphy, owner) gave me the filly and he said he would love to have her to come back to breed out of. I was persevering to try and win a bumper with her. She is going to be a nice filly over hurdles, she will kick on over hurdles before the ground gets too soft. I'm delighted that Aoife got to ride her, she's actually my Godchild as well as my niece. It is her second win, she had a win for her dad a couple of years back. She is a good little rider. She's not working in horses, but she looked tidy there today.

Sligo Thu, 10th Aug, 2023  Emily In Paris Obviously I was going to kick on up the hill if I could at all and she was good and idle going to the last. She's very straightforward, one of them mares you love riding, love seeing your name down beside hers. Davy's a shrewd operator and he said he thought he had her in the right place today. I thought she'd win a bumper the way she worked and then all she seemed to do was getting beaten, just staying, but Kevin Brouder rode her a bit of work after she won in Killarney and she worked super. He said you don't need to go three miles with her. She was well in this evening. She's not a bad filly and she's out of a mare who won over a mile-and-a-half on the Flat.

Killarney Fri, 21st Jul, 2023  Emily In Paris I got hampered jumping the last the first time, but I always knew she would stay galloping. She probably doesn’t jump them old-style hurdles as well as the Easyfix, for whatever reason I don’t know, but she was genuine to the line. She was never travelling and she must be in season or something. That’s not her.

Killarney Thu, 20th Jul, 2023  Solitary Man That was kind of the plan to come here after his nice run in Ballinrobe and he got a great ride by Darragh. I’m not sure what we will find for him now but I’m really looking forward to him going over fences next year. He’s a gorgeous looking horse and well judged by Paul Shanahan.

Killarney Mon, 15th May, 2023  Naruto That fella will go straight over hurdles. He’s a nice big jumping type and will jump a fence in time. I think he likes a bit of nice ground.
