Dundalk Wed, 4th Jan, 2023  Behind Enemy Lines Joseph liked him when he went to the Curragh but he's a big horse, was quite weak and the ground was tacky. He just got a bit lost. Now he's only starting to mature. It might not have been the greatest race in the world but he was impressive. I think he will go on. He has a lovely action and for a big horse he has got plenty of speed as well. Six furlongs is good for him and there is no reason why he wouldn't stay further.

Curragh Sat, 24th Sep, 2022  Small Oasis It's nice to have an exciting one,. We were surprised she ran as green as she did at Naas but she finished it off well. You could see then she never really got into top gear at all. She was working well at home, and we liked her, but I don't dip the tank at home. I like to just bring them on but nowadays you seem to get lost when you go to the races like that as everyone has them so finely tuned. Some of mine might be out the back first time but they'll improve ten lengths the next day. I like to bring them on that way as I feel you get longer out of them. We thought she'd have a chance of winning today but didn't think she'd win like that. I think she really appreciates a bit of juice in the ground. It wasn't easy to do what she did, coming up the middle of the track like that. I was keen for him to get a bit of cover on her. Thank God we stuck her in the Guineas the other day. We had her in the CL Weld Park Stakes, we had her declared, but took her out in the last five minutes and said we'd try and win a maiden first. I think she probably could have won it off that performance. We'll try and find a black-type race now for her, she'll stay seven.
