Ballinrobe Tue, 23rd Jul, 2024  Royal Hollow She only had ten stone six (pounds) on her back and we thought, if she didn't throw it away, that she couldn't get beat. She's nearly won every race she's run in but she, not the jockeys, managed to throw them all away by being too keen. I ride her out at home and have been trying to teach her to do things right. She's learning, I think. Andy wanted her to make the running today and it was probably the day to do it with all the weight she was getting. I didn't see the sectionals yet, but I'd say she went a fair gallop and didn't get an easy lead anyway. She'll probably go back on the Flat next and stick to mares' company over hurdles. The aim is to get a bit of black-type with her.

Leopardstown Thu, 18th Jul, 2024  Cloud Seeker We're delighted. Three-year-olds have a good record in the race with their allowance.

Killarney Thu, 18th Jul, 2024  Not Now Darling I only have her 12 weeks and knew she was decent although we never got to gallop her on grass. She has a good pedigree and is improving. Pat Hurley, the owner, is from near Thurles, is a first cousin of my mother's and has taken back out his own training licence recently. Pat trained horses for years so she might go to a new trainer now although he might also sell her, so we'll see. . I think she is decent and I think 2m4f over hurdles will bring out the best in her.

Killarney Mon, 15th Jul, 2024  Independent Expert I ran five horses in Gowran the last day she ran and they all ran worse than the other but the ground was terrible and sticky. She likes soft ground but couldn't go on it that day and now three of those horses have won since, so it was just one of those things. I gave her a break, she is fit and well now and tomorrow morning I'll enter her in a Galway festival handicap on the Tuesday. If she gets in, we'll take our chance and if you're not in, you can't win.

Tipperary Wed, 3rd Jul, 2024  Killeaney Bear He disappointed us a few days when we expected him to run well. He never travelled the last day in Gowran. He’s a big gross horse who seems to be improving and coming to himself a little bit. Hopefully we can have a bit of fun with him.
