Navan Tue, 7th May, 2024  Air Force One he joined us last year and he's gotten stronger since he came. He's been showing a bit of pace and it looked like a nice place to start. We had planned on starting him in this race when it was originally due to be run in Tipperary but weather dictated that we came here. We were waiting for this to be changed to somewhere else. I think he's a five-furlong sprinter. He was tough there and we'll see what the handicapper does. Hopefully we'll have a bit of fun with him for the summer.

Navan Tue, 7th May, 2024  Unexpected Issues she's going to be an early two-year-old so I suppose we'll run maybe once more and think about something in Ascot for her. Her brother (Castle Star, currently standing at Kilkenny's Capital Stud) was a very good horse but got beaten first time out, so she's done better than him!. she was a little bit green, a little bit slow away and then ran around a bit. She should come forward for that as she's only worked once on grass so should improve. I was in the car with Seamie (Heffernan) coming up so I'll talk more in depth with him going home but if you get five (furlongs) here, you'll get six most places. We might look for a winners' race, we'll see what's there and how she comes out of it.

Curragh Mon, 6th May, 2024  Bright Stripes We were very concerned about ground as he’s such a good moving horse,.

Naas Mon, 29th Apr, 2024  Marty The Party I was hoping that he was better than his mark and it worked out that way. He probably ran into one the last day at the Curragh. He’s improved a lot physically from two to three and hopefully he’ll get a bit further. He should get a mile and a quarter and he’s in the new (Irish Stallion Farms EBF Gowran Classic) race in Gowran, the 200 grand race, he qualifies for that.

Naas Mon, 29th Apr, 2024  Sparkling Sea I’ve a lovely bunch of two-year-olds and I’d say the fillies are smart. She was raw, all speed. She did what we thought she would do and let’s see how she comes out of it. There should be huge improvement as we don’t take them away on grass and this is their day out. She’s all speed and she will get quicker. At the minute we would be thinking Queen Mary-type filly.

Cork Sat, 30th Mar, 2024  Shandy I thought she might have been an Ascot two-year-old this time last year but she had a bit of an issue so spent a long time out in the field. It was a rush to get her ready to run so she had no foundation going to the Curragh last October. Colin (Keane, then jockey ) liked her, said she was weak but it was just that everything was a rush getting her to run. This is Seamie's first winner for me, he comes in a couple of times a week and had ridden winners (three) for my father. He, Joey (Sheridan) and Andy (Slattery) will all ride for me this year.

Dundalk Fri, 12th Jan, 2024  Beautiful Dawn A nice performance. She had a lovely prep run up here the first day over six furlongs and it sharpened her up plenty for today. She really tries really hard, as you can see her head is on the floor there trying so hard. Hopefully, she can strengthen up and go on to better things. She's not the biggest but what she lacks in size she gains in heart, and she skips across that surface. First winner for Joseph - I ride the odd little bit of work for Joseph and when you get a leg up on one it is great. Shane (Crosse, brother) retired and I got on one or two!
