Fairyhouse Thu, 30th May, 2024  Alto Sax He's just learning on the job and he's going to mature,. His future is in front of him and he's put in at a claiming price, but since the McAuleys have stopped claiming we're in a bit of no man's land!. He gets the trip and he should do a nice summer hurdling job for somebody. If he's not claimed it'll be more of the same. He needs the blinkers as he just got there and parked but, as Colin said, in his own grade he's a grand horse.

Roscommon Mon, 20th May, 2024  Alto Sax It's not before time. He wants that ground or better, he hops off it. He ran in Gowran Park the last day and it was the worst ground I've ever walked on. He actually went to win his race and stumbled on the ground because it was that bad. It's from one extreme to the other today. He got his ground and went and did it.

Punchestown Thu, 2nd May, 2024  Pigeon House Finally, he did it at the right time anyway,. Nico gave him a great ride, and he dropped his stick after the last so he never even hit him. We'll go to the Flat with him now, he's in a mile-and-six handicap at Gowran next week. He's been threatening to do that all winter. He probably liked that better ground, although he wasn't quick enough on it back in the autumn. He's got much stronger, he is only four still. Galway could be on our mind as well. We gave him a good break after Cheltenham, freshened him up, and he's really loved it.

Down Royal Tue, 23rd Jan, 2024  Timeless Piece I was worried about the ground, but she went away through it fine. I kept out onto the best of it really. She did it well, I'm happy that she got that done. She isn't a big filly so getting the weight is a big help on that ground. Our horses are in good form and riding good horses is a massive help.
