Gowran Park Sat, 9th Nov, 2024  But What He's always been a nice horse. He had a lovely run in Navan last year (third in September) and had a little touch of a tendon after it, so he had the year off. Hopefully, he'll be alright in the morning and we can keep going. He loves that ground, he wouldn't be a horse for the heavy winter ground. He loves a bit of nice ground, maybe a little bit slower than that, but you definitely wouldn't be going on winter ground. I'd imagine we'll be looking at Fairyhouse or Leopardstown, somewhere where the ground would be nice. I don't know where he'll fit in but he's a good horse.

Clonmel Thu, 7th Nov, 2024  Plains Indian I suppose he was the class horse in the race being a Listed winner and I know he has been disappointing but the ground was too soft for him all year. He had a good first run back this year and if he hadn't run twice since on ground which was too hard, he'd have been favourite today. We think he is well handicapped on the flat but can't get the ground for him. We'll try for another 0-140 handicap now and he could either go to Cheltenham later this month or to Leopardstown over Christmas.

Dundalk Fri, 1st Nov, 2024  My Girl Sioux She deserved her turn. Maurice Aherne and Ronnie Cagney own her together and I'm delighted for them as they are after persevering a long time with her and she's owed them that. They went hard and in theory she came up the wrong side.

Wexford Sun, 27th Oct, 2024  Fleur In The Park He wants two and a half to three miles and I thought he’d win over two if he is as good as I think he is. He is going for the Monksfield at Navan in three weeks’ time, so we had to get a run into him and that will bring out loads of improvement. Cian (Quirke, jockey) said he had a blow, that he won very easy and he had loads of horse left. He had good runs in bumpers last year but was never really trained for bumpers, as I wanted to give him a chance to be a good horse and I didn’t want to drill him to win bumpers, he still ran very well in them. I think there will be improvement over hurdles and over fences next year, that’s the plan.
