Listowel Sun, 4th Jun, 2023  Rush Queen it was a last minute plan to come but we had made the entry. She ran a blinder on her first run at the Curragh last week and didn't do herself justice. They got racing very early and greeness told but I knew she'd improve a lot. She did it very smartly there — the other horse (runner-up Ashwiyaa) wandered but she stuck her head down and galloped to the line. She is still immature and is a lovely filly. people used say I couldn't train juveniles but I've ran two this year and both have now won. I'm delighted and it's great for this new syndicate (Shamrock Thoroughbreds) which Stephen (Thorne, assistant) set up. This is another breeze-up filly and we've ran and won with two this year.

Roscommon Mon, 22nd May, 2023  Whisky On The Hill Adam gave him a great ride. He did it very easy actually and probably got there too soon,. He's a nice horse and jumping will probably be the name of the game for him in time. He's going to go to the field in the morning, probably for ten days, and then we'll bring him back for the mile-and-a-half in Galway for three-year-olds. On softer ground you'll see a better horse again. I was very close to taking him out because I was a bit concerned about the ground this evening. He travelled very sweet today and he surprised me. I'm sure the jumps lads would like a horse like him and he could be sold now. He's had three quick runs and I was a bit concerned as he lost 15 kilo last week after Sligo and I was very worried. We had him back to a kilo below his weight today and we were delighted he'd put back on so much. He's tough.

Leopardstown Fri, 19th May, 2023  Magnetic North I think the ground is the key factor. When he was a younger horse you would have said he wanted a bit of cut but he didn't want it today,. We weren't going to run him but I just felt that this track would suit and the trip as well. He's in again at Roscommon on Monday and he might be declared. The last time he won Adam rode his first winner on him, last year in Navan. He's a great fun horse. I'd say the boys will sell him now at some stage as they have a lot of horses and he's not going to be a premier handicap horse. Adam did a great job on him there. He's the type of horse that will come out some days and run a really good race and other days he'll let you down. He definitely wants nice ground.

Cork Wed, 17th May, 2023  Tiger Belle We bought her at the breeze-ups off Con Marnane a few weeks ago, he said she was very fast and she is. She'll be Ascot bound now,. We worked her with a couple of good fast sprinters we have and she didn't disappoint us. She had been to the Curragh a couple of times. She's lightening out of the gates, very professional, she's a very fast filly. She stayed at it well and she's only going to improve. She's one of the fastest two-year-olds I've ever had. We'll definitely chance Ascot and she'll go to the Queen Mary. She looks cheap now, there are times you buy these at 70,000 pounds and they are dear. At the breeze-ups you can be lucky and unlucky. We do a lot of research at them. She's a real two-year-old and that's why we bought her, because we wanted something for the likes of Ascot. You don't buy big strapping horses when you are buying a two-year-old for Ascot, they are sharp types. That's what a lot of the breeze-up sales are about, if you want to race quickly. We have another one or two at home and they are nice. A bunch of them worked the other day and they aren't too bad.
