Dundalk Fri, 8th Dec, 2023  Comfort Line That's grand as we have lost a few and have had a dose of seconditis. I just didn't know as it always favours the lad coming at you, thanks be to God he did (hold on). I was going to take him out and wait until next Wednesday over the mile and two. He's a funny old horse and last week he didn't travel over a mile and two. Today, he was tanking over a mile, so he's just one of those type of horses but a good fun horse. He has been a bit frustrating, but at least he has a win now for Martin (White) and Dooley Thoroughbreds. We will be quiet enough on Wednesday, but will have a few this day next week. Then we are getting thin on the ground for the horses. We are looking forward to getting a little bit of a break for the lads. A good few of them will be away on holidays. I'll sit back and watch a good bit of racing at Leopardstown over Christmas, so I'm looking forward to that!

Dundalk Wed, 29th Nov, 2023  Dream Today He's not the one I expecting, but we'll take any of them. They are solid horses and there's not a whole pile between any of them. Rory gave him a great ride, he jumped out and went forward. This horse loves to do that and fair play to him. It was a long last furlong, but he stayed at it well. I thought the other horse was coming to nab him but he didn't. Apache Outlaw ran well, I thought he might have finished a little bit stronger and he was a little disappointing. I'll take any winner. We've had great fun with this horse, he brought us to Dubai a few years back and always wins a couple of races every year. That's his third win this year and won on the beach as well for us. These type of horses keep people happy.

Dundalk Wed, 22nd Nov, 2023  Rhasidat that wasn't the plan! We were going to drop her in and cover her up, but fair play to the young fella as he didn't panic. He got her into a nice rhythm, didn't fight her and didn't panic. She is inexperienced but stuck at it well. That is Oisin's first ride for me - Paddy Harnett was to ride but got caught in traffic so he certainly won't be too pleased. Fair play to Oisin though, he gave her a great ride. she might even come back here for a claimer in a couple of weeks and is entered up in the mares' sale in a couple of weeks time so will be sold at some stage.
