Leopardstown Fri, 17th May, 2024  Encosta I think it was a very fair decision and I would have been very disappointed if they didn't change it around,. I would have bet 1/20 that he would have got it and Colin (Keane) thought that after the race as well. You just can't knock the horse down and hope to get away with it. It was the right decision. She was coming back at him as well, she was almost on the ground and it's lucky no-one was hurt.

Punchestown Thu, 2nd May, 2024  Pinkerton He is a horse that gets 2m very well and it was a burst of speed I had never felt off him before. He is not overly big but he jumps slick and likes plenty cover. He did everything right the whole way round. He came out of last week's race great. I was a disappointed he didn't win a bit easier there as it was a very ordinary contest, he struggled a bit and was maybe in front a bit long. Today when he went to the front he wandered a bit going to the last. It's great for the owners to win here, he's been a super little horse for them. He's the first horse Philip (Polly) bought off me and that's the first time he's won for them. He's tough and the jockey is very good, he's very strong. He mightn't go on real quick ground, he wants an ease, but we'll carry on for the moment and see how we go.

Tipperary Tue, 23rd Apr, 2024  Pinkerton I suppose he was entitled to win with the way the race cut up, but he was pulling up a bit in front and got lonely. He (Ewing) said he also wouldn't want it any quicker. When he started jumping fences first, he jumped them really well, and was good enough and jumped well today. He was probably entitled to win even better than he won but he won, so I won't complain. He will keep going for another while on easy ground.
