Naas Sun, 8th Jan, 2023  Cadatharla he won nicely and he's a nice big horse. He was quite green at times but apart from the last he jumped reasonably well. I don't know where we'll go now. He ran well in his three maiden hurdles and is after coming on. That mightn't have been the greatest race in the world but he did it nicely and it's nice to win our own race. He's a big, tall, green horse and he's learning on the job.

Fairyhouse Sun, 1st Jan, 2023  Cher Why Not he deserved that as he’s been running well all year. He’s slow but he’s tough and stays well. He was third in this race behind Ronald Pump four years ago but got an injury and missed some time. He’s shoving on in years but he still tries hard and never lets us down.

Limerick Thu, 29th Dec, 2022  Alpesh Amin It was lovely to win that race for Olivia Long who is a wonderful owner of mine. He a lovely Flemensfirth horse who was second in a bumper and placed over hurdles so he was entitled to win. Donagh Meyler took up the running (on Chautuaqua) about a mile and a quarter from home and that was the best thing that could happen for us to put some pace into the race as all our lad does is stay. He’ll probably go handicapping now over two and a half miles and could go for the final of this series. I don’t see any reason why he won’t jump a fence in time.

Fairyhouse Wed, 21st Dec, 2022  Marie Philippe That was great and it's a nice tonic for Mum who is in hospital today. She's over the moon. That filly is only about 80 percent there and there is so much more improvement in her. I'd say we'll stick to bumpers this year and probably go to the Dublin Racing festival and try and get a bit of black-type for her. She's very stoutly bred. She's a big chaser for two of three years down the line and hurdles next season with her but we'll keep her on the Flat for the moment. She was very impressive and she's gorgeous. For a filly, the size of her, who is only four, she is really nice and very exciting.

Tramore Tue, 6th Dec, 2022  Indie Belle She ran last Thursday and ran well in a Listed chase. It was probably a bit soon coming back here but we had entered on Thursday morning prior to the Thurles run, just in case anything happened there,. She came out of that race grand and we said we'd come here. We could have gone for this or the handicap but we said we'd go for this instead. It looked an easier option for her. . It's brilliant to get Davy. We only have one horse in training so it's great to get him to ride her. Treacysenniscorthy done his knee the last time he ran at Leopardstown so he is finished now and is out in the field. . There is a 0-116 handicap hurdle at Leopardstown on the 28th of this month. We will probably try to freshen her up and go there. She is rated 93 over hurdles so she'd have a little squeak if she snuck into the bottom of that.

Wexford Sun, 30th Oct, 2022  Ballycashin Jody walked the track and said that she could feel some good ground on the inside. I told her if she wanted to do it, she could do it her way. She did and did it well. I think she is a mare with a future. She is a full-sister to Minella Drama who is a good horse in England. She is not a big mare but is tough. I'd say she will go jumping now. I will have another word with Jody but I don't want to be hard on her. I'd like to let her off in a maiden hurdle and she jumps well. She is owned by the daughters of Bobby McCarthy of Beeches Stud, where Flemensfirth stood, so it's a homebred horse.

Clonmel Thu, 27th Oct, 2022  Lizlucky It was her first time running on that type of ground and she hasn't been the most straightforward to train and with her age, hasn't ran many times. The girls at home have done a great job with her and have kept her muscles right. Phillip said she ran the whole way to the line and we'll keep her in for the winter, but won't run on really heavy ground. I'd like to run her in a nice mares' handicap from a light weight and we'll keep her to hurdles this season. A race like the mares' handicap hurdle at the Dublin Racing Festival is a possibility. I'm delighted for Leo (McCormack) and you could not get a better owner in the yard. He hasn't been feeling well lately and barely got here today so that'll make him up. I couldn't be happier for him.

Clonmel Thu, 29th Sep, 2022  Cher Why Not He is a slow horse, can't go any quicker and you just leave it to himself and he always finishes out his races. I knew he was working well at home but I was still pleasantly surprised. He gave him a super ride and did exactly what the horse needs and left it to himself. He picked up an injury when he was going very well three years ago and we gave him plenty time and it has paid off. He might run on Monday in Tipperary.
