Curragh Fri, 13th Aug, 2021  Arch Enemy She probably left it a bit late in Sligo the last day but finished well there. I thought that was a better class Nursery today. It took her a little while to get it together in maidens and was coming away slow. It’s great to see her doing it now. I’m not sure where we will go next but I think she will stay further. She’s only small but she has plenty of heart.

Downpatrick Sun, 8th Aug, 2021  Ally Cay The hurdles are there to be jumped and she seemed to jump well enough. We couldn't believe how good she was the other day after she ran in Sligo. She had been great on the flat but she has been a little bit disappointing this year, I've changed her routine a little bit and I train her outside now. She is probably only getting fit now by the look of it. She was big in Sligo I thought. She travels a lot better in a hurdle race so we might stick to hurdles for now and I actually think she will jump a fence as well. There's probably more fun to be had with her.

Galway Sun, 1st Aug, 2021  Imposing Supreme That's brilliant. Getting in was the hard part. He came out of Tuesday's race as well as I've ever seen him and gave us huge confidence for today. Chris gave him a great ride, it panned out lovely and you couldn't ask for any more. The mile looks to be the job done with him but he was grand there and did what he had to do. It's great that it's coming together for him now at this stage of the game. We were very disappointed with him last year when we thought we'd do well. There were horses that were racing around him as a three-year-old that went on and did very well. We had high expectations but he just didn't go forward like we thought he would. He seems to be doing it this year for some reason and we are delighted. The handicapper went to town on him after Tuesday and it seems a bit exaggerated to me but sure it was great to get that anyway.

Galway Tue, 27th Jul, 2021  Imposing Supreme We were hemming and hawing whether we'd run him on the ground to be honest. We always believed he wanted good ground to be at his best. We took a chance on the bad ground, to take a pull and drop him in as he's normally ridden prominently as well. Gary is brilliant and it worked out. He's been running really well. His only one win before today was here so the track was never going to be an issue if we got a bit of luck. He's in towards the end of the week and we were thinking if it wasn't working out we'd try and mind him and come back at the end of the week as we thought the ground might be a bit better. If he's okay we'll probably run him back. It wouldn't be our thing to be running that quickly but on this particular occasion we just might.

Limerick Sat, 12th Jun, 2021  Trueba Johnny was full up earlier in the year and sent this horse to my brother Eddie to take the pressure off. A stable became available after his run at the Curragh the last day so Johnny took him back. Eddie buys all the horses for Johnny at the sales so they are in close contact and he winters a few horses for Johnny. He is a very easy horse to train and Johnny leaves the apprentices ride him and he has been very rewarding. Denis Linehan, representing
