Gowran Park Tue, 3rd Sep, 2024  Vivienda she is after thriving since she won, she’s grown and really turned into a lovely filly. Colin is adamant that stepping up a furlong would suit her even better and she’ll go on quicker ground, albeit that’s beautiful ground out there. Hopefully that will help her get into a big handicap on Champions Weekend. Also a big shout out to Lucy who led her up, rides her out every day and keeps a smile on her face.

Naas Sun, 25th Aug, 2024  Revoke Colin said she’s done what we said she’d do at home which is lovely. That’s her first time away and her first time galloping on turf. We do that as I’m adamant I don’t care if they are beaten first time out as they get a second bite, and then we know where we can go with them. We won’t shy away with her, from what we can get at two, and heading for black-type as she’s quick. We’ll just see how she takes this as there is nothing of her and she’s only a 410 kilos filly. She’ll either come forward from this or she’ll go back so she’ll tell me what to do. Worst case scenario she’ll be in Dundalk for the Mercury or something like that.

Leopardstown Thu, 22nd Aug, 2024  Chantez That was nice. I loved her first run here as they quickened twice and I said that was a bit above the ordinary as a maiden. I was tempted to go to the Curragh the last day but Red Letter's form was there so we bypassed that and came back here, to the track she had handled, with a view to the Ingabelle Stakes. That is a race that has been very lucky for us. She did exactly what we thought she'd do. She shouldn't be running as she's so light and immature. She's just so not there yet. It's like Dublin buses. We had a load of horses last year and now, all of a sudden, every filly I have is a nice filly. We're just lucky and it's great. She's good and any other year she'd be your best one. I love having a second bite at a maiden. You get disappointed not winning for a minute but then you walk away and say 'lovely, another maiden, and I don't have to go to a stakes race'. Now she's had two runs and I have an Ingabelle horse, so happy days.

Roscommon Tue, 20th Aug, 2024  Poetic Sound it's a super result, the horse is very green and will only improve. He wouldn't want the ground to be as deep as that. He'll be a beautiful horse next year, that's what we're looking forward to; when he strengthens up, he'll be a horse. I don't know how busy he'll be this year as it's all about next year. .most importantly it's a great result for the owner/breeder John Keaney; he owned Yavana's Pace and she's in the pedigree. We're delighted for William Flood as well, who stands Poet's Word as he is a long time family friend.

Tramore Sat, 17th Aug, 2024  Best Law Gary thought one or two of them might go on but they were going a fairly pedestrian pace so he let him roll along. He seemed happy enough in front and he handled the track well. He handled it better than Galway the last day. In against the older horses and on the slow ground, it seemed to scupper him a bit. Back on the nicer surface here he got the job done. . He'll stay going down the handicap route and we'll plot our course with him. At some stage he'll be a nice dual-purpose horse for someone. There is plenty of size about him, he gets a trip and he's not slow either. That'll be probably where he ends up. Andrew Duff, representing

Cork Fri, 16th Aug, 2024  Magnum Force we were disappointed he got beaten the last day but it rained, the ground became a little slow and he was stuffy and ran like he needed it. He showed a lot of speed the last day so we brought him back to five (furlongs) and he again showed plenty of speed today and loved that summer quick ground. we didn't put him in the Listed race (at the Curragh) tomorrow for the simple reason we wanted to come here and take baby steps but he has done what we wanted and expected him to do from his home work. Entries for the (Group 1) Middle Park Stakes closed the other day so we had that choice to make and entered him, but we'll take baby steps up now, although winners' races are few and far between.
