Dundalk Wed, 21st Dec, 2022  Firstman He nearly got done there, the two of them were nearly in the car park!. He is what he is and it is grand that he did that. They (Keep Your Distance Syndicate) are a great bunch of local lads in the GAA club, neighbours of mine and I've known them a long time. They claimed him this time last year. I recommended them to claim him because the man that had him originally (Eric Carson) was a good owner of mine and he just had enough. It has worked out well, but it is just unfortunate as I would have loved to have seen him have a bit of success.

Galway Mon, 31st Oct, 2022  Paris Secret We were worried about greenness as she has never left the farm, so we just didn't know. She had worked well last week and we thought this was the place to start her as it was he last opportunity on grass, although we weren't worried about the all-weather either. She is a nice mover and hopefully is ground-versatile and obviously handled that. I liked when she came into the parade ring that her presence seemed to grow and she was nearly the pick of the paddock in her attitude and outlook. She jumped, travelled well, was green obviously and Colin gave her a lovely ride and she was doing her best work at the end.

Curragh Wed, 26th Oct, 2022  Breezy Zoff I’m delighted for the boys and it’s their first winner and their first horse. She has always been a bit keen in her races and the hood on her today helped to relax her. She was drawn wide and with a bit of space didn’t get as lit up. It helped her get home. She could go to Dundalk and will go on any ground.

Leopardstown Sat, 15th Oct, 2022  Zoffman Going a trip has helped him and today he looked like he would even go further. Easy ground has also been a factor. He's very small and I thought with the light weight he had a real good chance. You are always surprised when they win as easy as that, he did it very well. He's doing things right and he's going places. I had him in a three-year-old handicap at Navan but I was keen to come here because I thought we'd go for the money. I have schooled him and he jumps quite well but he's so small that I can't imagine how he could make a jumper. If there is nothing left for him we'll leave him over the winter and bring him back for good handicaps next year over that trip.

Bellewstown Thu, 29th Sep, 2022  Firstman It’s great for the boys (Keep Your Distance Syndicate) and they are a great cheerful lot who claimed him last year in Dundalk. He was owned by a great man in Eric Carson. It’s after working out well and he’s won a couple and was a tad unlucky on Monday. It was unreal the way it all opened for him like the Red Sea.

Curragh Sun, 25th Sep, 2022  Zoffman We’ve realised now that he wants an ease in the ground and a mile and a quarter or even a mile and a half.

Curragh Sun, 25th Sep, 2022  Devore We bought her at the breeze-ups and thought she was a bit quicker than she actually is but she’s after getting it together in her last couple of races.
