Punchestown Wed, 1st May, 2024  Backtonormal Tom Furlong (part owner) put in my first gallop and he’s a great fella. He runs in Darren Cahill’s colours who is also a great supporter of the yard as well. It’s a great pot to win. It’s his first run for me - Mags had him and he was banging on the door. It was an obvious target and we just had enough time to transition from Mags’ to here. His form was good and I thought he’d run well. He stayed well and it looks like he’ll make a nice chaser.

Wexford Thu, 25th Apr, 2024  Mossy Fen He'd obviously been through a few academies and then he came to us,. We've just played with him, freshened him up and he's come back to himself — we wouldn't have run if he hadn't. . He seems to be back enjoying life so we'll take it step by step. He's a lovely character of a horse.

Fairyhouse Mon, 1st Apr, 2024  Brewin'upastorm I enjoyed that! He's a very good horse on his day and he's only good once a year, if that makes sense. He really turned up today and I thought he just outstayed Willie's horse from the back of the last. Ireland has been a brilliant place for me, I spent five fantastic years here. I learned an awful lot off Gordon (Elliott) and watched Jack grow up to be the man he is today, I watched him ride his first winner. Coming over and taking on the best of the Irish, the way national hunt racing is at the moment on both sides of the Irish Sea, it was something I always wanted to do — train a winner over here. I really enjoyed that, Ireland has been a very good place for me and to come back and have a big winner here is magic. I probably came over due to the lack of opportunities on our side of the sea. It's hard to win anywhere, it's hard to win in England let alone here. I enjoyed that as much as any winner I've trained.
