Tramore Sat, 1st Jun, 2024  Wolfhill A remarkable statistic is that Brian Hayes rode Sweet Kiln to win here and he has also ridden all of her five winners. That's probably one for the record books. Sweet Sting, Kiln Time, Rock Road and Aunt Alice are the other winners Sweet Kiln has produced. Sweet Kiln won here in 2008 with Brian aboard as a 7lb claimer. He has a remarkable association with the family. He is a good looking horse and he needed good ground. He also needed a bit of time, he is six now. He is working better now than he was as a younger horse. He is at Kilbeggan tomorrow as first reserve but he would have a mandatory penalty. I wouldn't rule it out completely but it's unlikely. It's an 80-95 handicap. He will definitely keep going for the summer as he needs summer ground.

Listowel Sat, 1st Jun, 2024  Jet Setting Jim He had a bumper winners' penalty to carry but that bit of nice ground wouldn't both him. He is a big chaser in the making. Finbarr Walsh, from Riverstick near Kinsale owns him and we didn't think beyond today.

Punchestown Tue, 21st May, 2024  All For Rachel He's a long time around the house and the penny never dropped. I can't believe how well he travelled today,. He looked like a horse that was going to win races several times before but it never materialised. One of the key things to him is the ground but he has strengthened up as well. He's a big horse that's been growing and developing for a number of years and every year I say 'I hope I'm not saying the same thing next year!'. He's seven now and I bought him as a three-year-old. He's called after a grandchild of ours, a daughter of Rory and Theresa. They were to be here, I told them to come today. He's a manager on one of the sites and told him to finish at one and pick up Theresa and Rachel and come out here. I had some inclination today with the way he was working at home and the way he had strengthened up. He was always weak behind. You could have lost faith with him but today makes up for it. Phillip gave him a grand ride and came with a lovely timed run.
