Curragh Sun, 5th Nov, 2023  Vischio It’s absolutely brilliant for the syndicate involved — my cousin Michael and his sister Mag and the sons. She was bought for a good friend of mine John Kennedy who was fighting cancer at the time. She was second in a seller and we were able to claim her for about 8,000. She won a hurdle race just before Michael died and the current syndicate have had nothing but fun with her ever since. She started off this spring and has been at nearly every Festival since. We thought she might not go on heavy ground and it’s better she’s got on heavy ground. You could see lately she was in brilliant form and she’s really strengthened. The races have taken nothing out of her. She had a bit to find on several horses in the race today but there is always a chance in an end of season race that horses may not run to form and there was a chance to sneak some black type. She was definitely going to be in the first three under two furlongs down but to win was a dream. We are dealing with cheap, low grade horses most of the time and she was low grade too at one time. We never have more than about ten horses but luckily we’ve had horses that have been able to win races this year which makes it enjoyable. I’d say she’ll race away. I had it in my head to go to Leopardstown at Christmas for a hurdle race but I don’t know if that will happen now. She has a mark over hurdles that you’d say she might be able to compete off but we’ll have to

Gowran Park Wed, 16th Aug, 2023  Letiza She’s been running well and I thought she might win tonight. I just think she pulled up a bit when she got there, but she won which is the main thing. She’s not a bad filly, but a pair of cheekpieces might help.

Ballinrobe Mon, 24th Jul, 2023  Vischio Days like this make it all worthwhile. These two won at Tramore a fortnight ago and have been in super form since so we said we'd go again with them.  . The four wins were all quite similar with front-running tactics and she got an easy lead again tonight. I enjoy working with the horses. We're a small operation and you need to be getting the odd result to keep going at the game and days like this are a bit of a boost all right. We have some very loyal owners and a small staff who work very hard. This mare will go to Galway on Wednesday week for a mares' handicap hurdle.  She ran in it last year.
