Dundalk Wed, 21st Dec, 2022  Dromantine She ran very well (the last day) and is a filly we always liked. We trained her dam (Via Ballycroy) and she won four for us, she had a lot of pace. I trained the dam for the owners as well. We always liked this filly and things didn't really go right - we went to the Curragh one day and the ground was terrible, and just different things the way they came. She has just come into her rating now and she had a lovely draw tonight, kept it simple and quickened up well. She is a filly with a lovely pedigree and she could have the potential to improve. It is lovely for the family to have got her to win as a two-year-old but I'd say there is more to come.

Dundalk Fri, 11th Nov, 2022  Ceallach His last run was really solid and Shane (Foley) just felt on the night he just got stopped at a vital time and he thought it might have made the difference. On form, a reproduction of that run was going to leave him hard to beat tonight and that is the way it worked out. I don't think he necessarily improved since that run, but he has come back and repeated it. He loves to travel and you've to keep filling him with confidence. He's still a bit immature, but that's the way he likes to be ridden. Ronan is riding fantastically and he is giving those horses great rides. We probably have about a dozen (for the winter series) but, some of them as they run, we will be stopping with them. We have plenty at the moment, but they will dwindle out as they run. He'll keep going for another while.

Naas Sun, 6th Nov, 2022  Duke De Sessa It was a very good performance from a three-year-old under top-weight,. The second horse is a five-year-old and as Chris said it's November ground. It was a good battling performance and he just started to idle then in front. He's performed well all year, he was fifth in the Guineas and has been on the go since April. He's a tough horse. He ran a very good race last time and was a bit unlucky not to win in France, he was only beaten a nose and half a length and came from way off it. He deserved to go out with a big win again and he's done us proud during the year, he's a multiple group winner and we'll look to having a very major campaign with him next year. He'll be doing a bit of travelling.

Naas Sun, 6th Nov, 2022  Cosmic Vega We had to play our hand as it's the end of the year and he loves soft ground,. We said we'd take our chance, the conditions (of the race) weren't ideal for him, but he still has his summer coat and looks great. Some of the horses don't hold their form at this time of year and I felt he was in great form. It wasn't a surprise to win with the way conditions are. He's not in any sales and the people that own him bred him as well so they'll enjoy the journey with him. Who is to say he won't get better and he might even get a bit of black-type some day in these conditions. He's learning to settle better.

Curragh Wed, 26th Oct, 2022  Joupe she is now up to 1m6f having started racing at seven furlongs and brought her here because we have an entry for the November Handicap. I wanted to get her up in the ratings to get in. She travels well and once she settles, she has the speed at the end and Dan gave her a tremendous ride. I’m delighted and hopefully we’ll get into the November Handicap now.

Dundalk Fri, 16th Sep, 2022  Joupe It's was her first time over this trip but she's very genuine and I knew she'd stay. I might even step her up again,. She was picking up the pieces there at the end. This is her home really. She had two runs on the turf to sharpen her up for here. We'll keep coming back here. She got a 7lb rise for finishing seventh here on her last run which I thought was a bit much at the time but we're after winning again now. I'm delighted with that and we'll come back here in a fortnight. We'll see what the handicapper gives her this time. Dan gave her a fantastic ride. He settled her out the back and we ride her the same way all the time, come with a run around the outside. All I told him was to come with a clear run and what ever happens happens.
