Limerick Thu, 30th May, 2024  Seasett His owner Mark Sheasby got a touch out of this horse when he won for Paddy at Cartmel and I told him that he wouldn't be out of the first two today. I thought Paddy was very good as he hadn't much room but was very strong on him. He rode a very clever race and for a young lad, he's not too bad. You can't beat the 'flapping' (pony racing) as it absolutely crowned him as he learned so much. Paddy has six rides for me at Listowel on Saturday and, as he knows all the horses from being at home, I'll get him experience on mine instead of letting him ride for every Tom, Dick or Harry. I have plenty of horses for him.

Curragh Sat, 25th May, 2024  Henri Matisse He's a lovely-bred horse, I think Joseph (O'Brien, Cadogan) liked his horse as well. He'll improve a lot. He was babyish at home, mentally. Ryan nursed him as much as he could and gave him a lovely ride. He'll be very happy if he wants to step up to seven too, he's a lovely horse I'd say.

Gowran Park Tue, 23rd Apr, 2024  Annexation I'm delighted with that. Billy gave him a super ride. I'm delighted for the lads (South Ros Racing Syndicate) as he lost his form last year and we were all starting to lose heart. It's amazing with these old guys, we just kept him sweet and I thought he looked amazing walking around the ring tonight. We've had a few winners today and it's funny how it goes like that. Funny, the first day he ran for us he won here during Covid.

Leopardstown Sun, 7th Apr, 2024  Ecureuil Secret He’d been working nicely and very kindly Joseph (O’Brien) allowed me do a bit of work with him after racing in Naas recently. The funny thing is himself and the second (Thequietman) worked together and they finished about the same way. Aidan asked me to buy him a horse at the breeze up sales. I couldn’t get one at Goresbridge as they were too expensive. This fellow was in a sale at Deauville in July. He was only five miles up the road from me and I went to see him and loved him. The stallion is on fire and it’s brilliant to have him. I thought I was buying a dual-purpose horse as he’s 16.3. He’s the only three-year-old that I have, and I have a few two-year-olds that I bred. It’s very exciting to buy something like that and I’d say that was a fair maiden. He has a great attitude, and the dream is still alive.
