Ballinrobe Tue, 23rd Jul, 2024  Cave Court We fancied our chances today. He got a bad fall (brought down) in Down Royal and it set him back a wee bit. After that it just took him a couple of runs for the penny to drop again, but we gave him a break and he's bounced back today. He's a good genuine horse. Two and a half (miles) probably suits him better than today's trip, but he has a bit of class. Oran works with me every day and is a classy wee rider. He'll go to Galway for the 0-116 opportunity handicap hurdle on the Sunday.

Kilbeggan Mon, 17th Jun, 2024  Desert Cave That was mighty and I’m delighted for Harry who is a great supporter of ours. He’s a horse that won a four-year-old (point-to-point) and had a couple of niggly problems so Harry threw him out into a field for a year. He’s relished a step up in trip and better ground. I suppose he’ll get a good hike in the handicap for that, but it was a very weak race. I thought he was a bit of a monkey when he was running in winners’ races and he got beat in two winners. He went today but maybe not every day!

Sligo Tue, 11th Jun, 2024  Andyourbirdcansing when things are going well it is great and I'm getting great support so hopefully I'll keep it going. She's tough, stuck at it very well and going to the last, I knew I'd saved a bit. She dug deep and stayed going really well to the line. John's horses don't know when to stop. He's given me plenty of support over the years and I'm very grateful for it.

Ballinrobe Tue, 28th May, 2024  Will It Be You I'm delighted with him, Richie gave him a lovely ride and he battled well. He seemed to love the ground which is in great nick. It's his first run of the year and you're never quite sure, I felt he might just improve for it but he was in a great frame of mind.

Down Royal Mon, 6th May, 2024  Born Braver He is ground and trip versatile. It was a very messy race and they went pretty steady early and it turned into a sprint. He showed a little bit of class there although it is probably hard to weigh up off that race. You probably could go back to 2m4f, but I think he will stay 3m very well. I think he will make into a nice chaser at some stage.

Limerick Fri, 19th Apr, 2024  Another Ocana Eon was actually fairly happy going to the final fence as he was letting him fill up a bit and they gave it one go. He is a real course specialist and puts his best foot forward here. We came here today with the intention of putting him away for the summer and that's what we'll do. There is a Meathman, a Galwayman and the rest of the (nine-member Tribes, Royals & Rebels Syndicate) owners are from Cork.

Fairyhouse Sun, 31st Mar, 2024  Lucky Lyreen We were a bit fortunate with the other horse making a mistake but we were in front plenty soon enough. He will a jump a fence in time.
