Dundalk Fri, 24th Mar, 2023  Celtic Revival He looks a very good rider, the only thing is he is nearly looking in my eyes when I'm talking to him and I'm 6ft 2!

Dundalk Fri, 20th Jan, 2023  Celtic Revival Aileen (Lynam, wife) bred him and we dreamed he was going to be good being by Sea The Stars, but he is what he is and at least he has got a win. He (James Ryan) was very good on him - if you watch him through the race, he's not a simple ride. He gave him a lovely ride. He would (get more opportunities), I'd be keen to use him if I can get him.

Naas Sun, 8th Jan, 2023  Cut The Rope we can't take a whole lot of praise for this one as it goes to Richard O'Brien - we don't have him very long. Richard had recommended him to us and we bought him after doing a gallop. We made a mistake last year, he told us he'd win this bumper with Impulsive Dancer but we didn't act quickly enough. Impulsive Dancer won and Willie (Mullins) bought him, but thankfully we haven't made the same mistake twice!. Richard did a wonderful job, he's a lovely straight fella and a great fella to deal with. He trained him basically as he's not long in our place. He's a lovely relaxed horse, showed a great attitude today and is a real pro. Barry O'Neill would ride all our bumper horses but part of the deal (with O'Brien) was that Eoin would keep the ride. He gave him a super ride and dictated everything in front. He's a very likeable horse. We have no plans but he might go to Limerick for a listed bumper.

Dundalk Wed, 23rd Nov, 2022  Alphonse Le Grande To be honest I didn't know what to expect. He had 17 runs in England and one win, he has ability but maybe his first run was the time to catch him,. I told Ronan to drop him in, get him settled, and just go from there. The owners said they'd like to have a few pounds on but I told them not to and that I wouldn't have a penny on him today. I didn't think he'd even be fit enough. The race fell into his lap a bit, they went hard early on and that maybe suits him. He arrived there and I was delighted, it's great to win a race for the lads. Ronan said to maybe put a pair of cheekpieces on him the next day and said he'd probably go further.
