Naas Mon, 16th Dec, 2024  Hillsdale That was great. He jumped well, bar one, and he did it very well. He just took a long time to get the hang of it, but we're delighted with him. He's a bit mad and he's not an easy ride. Jordan has ridden him before and had two falls off him over hurdles. It's not that he doesn't jump, but he just takes his eye off it. He settled well today, they went very fast, and he came home well. I was surprised, he was very good. I don't know where we go from here, he's probably going to get a fair hike for that as he won far enough. He looks an exciting enough horse on that.

Fairyhouse Sun, 1st Dec, 2024  Washington this is the biggest race I've won so far in my career and it's very cool, because this horse is a little bit older and has a few miles on the clock. To get him back loving it like this and to put in a performance like that was exceedingly satisfying. this race closes early and I thought with the ground in Ireland being quite dry this autumn, that it might suit us and this horse has very sporting owners. We had it in our mind as it obviously has huge prize-money and I thought the track would really suit him. When he won at Chepstow last time out I considered the Greatwood but I thought the track wouldn't suit at all. On this place, with a big galloping track, I thought it would be perfect for him. Very rarely in horse racing a plan comes together but this one actually did!

Listowel Sun, 22nd Sep, 2024  Cappucino He wasn't settling last year and he has to race in front. We tried dropping him in over hurdles and today he got a freebie out in front; they left him alone. After the race John (Gleeson) said to me that he was only going 32 miles-an-hour, as he had spotted it on the big screen!. For the first time, other horses left him alone and he is a speed horse so was able to use that on the good ground. I was looking for better ground last year but couldn't find any and then all my horses were sick. he gets his name from the late Pat Coffey who previously owned him and was sold in a dispersal sale. He is named in memory of Pat. He is a nice horse and will go back over hurdles now.
