Navan Sat, 7th Sep, 2024  Ostraka We bought this animal in February, and Michael Halford who we bought her off will tell you as well, she has a bad back. This chap from Belgium used to come over to John Oxx 35 years ago and his son is better at it - I tried everybody including chiropractors since we bought her, and that owner has had some patience. It is his first ever horse. Your man Philippe came in and he yanked her back and looked at me and said in a Belgian accent ' that will either kill her or cure her!'. She was 460kg on that day and today she is 495kg. She is a grand filly. It is great to get a winner. We are having a disaster of a year and starting to come right now. The Joe McGrath (in the Curragh) will be the aim for her.

Navan Thu, 29th Aug, 2024  Northern Sonas He’s a lovely big straight forward horse who dropped into a nice grade and up in trip. It’s lovely ground and he got a very straight forward ride. Hopefully it’s onwards and upwards and we’ll see where we go from here.

Leopardstown Thu, 20th Jun, 2024  Bear Profit I didn’t think he was going to be involved until next thing he arrived. Keithen smuggled him into it. He sat his Leaving Cert last Friday after riding a winner here on Thursday night. That’s some dedication. We fancied him in Listowel but things didn’t go right, he was very keen. He’s a decent horse and I’m delighted for everyone involved.

Curragh Wed, 5th Jun, 2024  Zaragoza He got a very good ride from Chris Hayes and the horse battled well,. He got gelded in the spring and it put manners on him. It was an excellently timed ride by Chris and he just got home. I think that's his right trip, and on a level track. We'll see if we can win another one with him.

Gowran Park Tue, 23rd Apr, 2024  Buttermere Ridge He's a big horse. Dave Hyland bred him and Caren Walsh is involved, she lost her husband a few months ago so it's a great tonic for her. David L'Estrange chose to go and see his horse in Tipperary today. I'm delighted for the three of them because he's taken a lot of time to come to hand, they've been very patient. I was giving him a run to see how he got on because he needed to get out, he's just a lazy bugger at home. It's great to get him started and we might look for a winners' race somewhere. He's a lovely horse and he'll like better ground, he just got away with it there.
