Fairyhouse Fri, 14th Jun, 2024  Sixpack I thought stepping up in trip might bring about a bit more improvement. He seems to stay well. We were running him over a mile and a quarter as he was a horse that travelled very well but the last time was a mile and a half and Ben (Coen) said there was no problem stepping up again. Shane done a good job on him. It was a true run race and he hit the line well. He’s a progressive horse. They are an Australian syndicate that are with me a while and are very lucky. There are a few staying races at the Curragh on Derby weekend, and he could be a horse for Galway. He might get up the hill in Galway.

Naas Sat, 11th May, 2024  Sea The Boss She was good last year and I just ran her back too quick after the Champions Weekend. She doesn’t go on soft ground. It was a big ask for her with three of them having already had a run this year. I thought fitness might catch her out but she was good and stayed well. She has a turn of foot and showed us that last year when she won her maiden. It’s only her fourth run and she will come forward a good bit from this. She might end up in the Irish Oaks and will be moving up to a mile and a half.

Naas Mon, 29th Apr, 2024  Hasna She did it well and got a lovely ride from Chris Hayes. He switched her off nicely and got her into a rhythm and she came home well in the last furlong. She was fit and well and her run in Dundalk kind of set her up for today. She’s an adaptable filly as she’s run well on the Polytrack and she handled the ground there today. We’ll see how she progresses before making any plans.
