Down Royal Sat, 2nd Nov, 2024  History Of Fashion He won around here (January 2022) and he ran well enough the last time (January) when he got stopped at the fence past the stand when the other horse made a mistake in front of him. He was second in the Porterstown (last December). If he comes up enough, he will go to the Porterstown, absolutely. He ran well in the Irish National (fifth). He won't go a yard on tacky ground. When you have only a few of them, you need things to go right and sure the ground was right up here. When things go right for him, he would go another mile. He's only getting going.

Bellewstown Sat, 6th Jul, 2024  Inforapenny He's won two races and he actually won this race two years ago,. He really needs the ground quick. He was second over fences the last day in Clonmel on quick ground and we said we would come back here hoping for quick ground. I was a bit nervous last night when the rain was meant to come and thank God it didn't come. He wouldn't have been where he finished today. It's great that a horse like him can get the opportunity to run on that ground which is important. We are delighted for Pat McCarthy, he's a great owner and a great man. He loves this horse. Great ride by Aidan - we just said cheekpieces on him, no nonsense and go on.
