Fairyhouse Tue, 12th Nov, 2024  Portarlington that’s just his second run for me and Keith (Donoghue, brother) rode him the last day and loved him. He said he gallops and stays but didn’t come down the hill that day in Limerick on quick ground. He was good today and Josh gave him a great ride. He might go again at Navan on Sunday: the two-mile race might be a bit short for him but it’s a big stiff track.

Cork Wed, 11th Sep, 2024  Killeaney Bear We made the running in Galway, but it didn't suit and, while we didn't want to make it today, they went no gallop and we prefer a faster pace. He is a big raw horse, is 16.2hh and I think he will make a nice four-year-old. We thought he was a nice two-year-old, he always showed a bit and he is a racy looking type. He is improving all the time and we might give him one more run before the end of the season.

Leopardstown Thu, 8th Aug, 2024  Killeaney Bear I don’t think he handled the ground or the track in Galway last Friday. He’s a big shell of a horse and I think he should improve and be better at four. He had a hard race in Galway but bounced out of it. Monday morning he was cantering and I thought he seemed fierce well so I said I’d chance declaring him. He’s a big, raw horse and I think there is more to come. The ground was a bit tacky in Galway. I think he might go on loose ground. The sharp track didn’t help him as he has a big, long stride.
