Fairyhouse Mon, 7th Oct, 2024  Outside The Door He loves that ground, he jumps and he gallops. He’s a grand old horse to have,.

Gowran Park Fri, 4th Oct, 2024  Aruntothequeen I always knew she was good. That was a good race, they went a proper gallop and she just stays really well,. She's taken all this time to grow into that frame, you can see how big she is. She probably should have won in Killarney, the ground really went against her that night. I told Harry (Swan) to make plenty of use of her and when you get down the hill let her roll on. I said that she'll stay every yard of it. She was impressive and they were a long way ahead of the third. She'll go on over hurdles now, a two-and-a-half mile maiden hurdle.

Roscommon Mon, 30th Sep, 2024  Lispopple Perseverance was the answer here. I wanted to sell him after his last run and we had a buyer in the yard but Michael (Fagan) rang me to say we'll give him one more go,. He jumped better today and he's just grown up a bit. He's like a horse that could win again, he won so well. He handles the soft ground, he was fourth one day in Naas in a big field on heavy ground. When the rain came we said it might improve his chances. We would have been satisfied with a place.

Down Royal Fri, 6th Sep, 2024  Happy Jacky He has proven stamina and Ronnie gave him a brilliant ride. He doesn't help himself because he doesn't travel great, he needs a strong gallop. I haven't come across a horse as tough as him. He is running over all these marathon trips the whole time and you can't believe how well he bounces out of it. He has done us proud this summer and hopefully he is not finished yet. We thought we would go down to a ladies' maiden down in Tramore and you come up against Familiar Dreams. He is a right horse owned by magnificent people. We were thinking of travelling him, over hurdles as well too, but then this race showed its face and we said we have to come here. He suffers a little bit from heat stress. As soon as he finishes, we get water onto him straight away and he bounces out in 15 minutes. He's grand.

Killarney Thu, 22nd Aug, 2024  King Ferdinand He is an improving horse and it is a great syndicate, from my local pub the Gortroe Inn. They formed after a few of my horses won and Vinny Grimes and Tony O'Shea are the main men in it. There are 26 members and their families and this is unreal - they are having savage luck with him.

Wexford Wed, 7th Aug, 2024  Outside The Door he jumps and gallops and is as honest as the day is long. A great bunch of lads (the Hold Firm Syndicate) own him and that's his fifth win now.

Kilbeggan Mon, 17th Jun, 2024  Happy Jacky He ran a belter in Galway before (second at the Festival in 2022) so that is something that we could think about and there is a nice conditions race in Cork.
