Fairyhouse Tue, 5th Nov, 2024  Tommies Call Tommies Call's half-sister is in the sales next week, in foal to Vadamos, so it's a timely boost for the pedigree. It's great to get a win with him as he promised so much on his first start. We thought we had a lovely horse going forward and gave him the summer off. We thought we did everything right, but when he came back he wasn't able to put one leg in front of the other. We couldn't find a whole lot wrong with him, he had niggly little bits and pieces but nothing major. We just decided later in the summer to train him from the field and it seems to have worked. In every other race he was off the bridle from the start, couldn't go the pace at all no matter what trip we ran him over. His jumping was always okay, that wasn't a factor, but he just didn't seem to be doing anything right. Today he popped off and was a different horse. He travelled, jumped and stayed going, which he hasn't done before. I'm disappointed we had to be down in a 0-95 race but it's great to get the win. If you'd told me months ago we were going to get a win out of him I'd have been thrilled with anywhere. Hopefully that will give him confidence and he'll go forward.

Galway Mon, 28th Oct, 2024  Nans View She led a seven furlong maiden up the Curragh until half-a-furlong down so we thought then that she was a mile filly, but we were up in distance recently and in fairness to Dylan Browne McMonagle, he had said to go this distance. She has a blend of both pace and stamina and handles deep ground very very well. She is very tough for a three-year-old and hurdling is now a major option. Unfortunately Sinead couldn't be here today as she is on holidays.
