Kilbeggan Sun, 2nd Jun, 2024  Dysart Dazzler He’s very green, a big baby and not like his brother (Dysart Dynamo). He was behind the bridle all the way and I was always going to win but he was just very lazy and didn’t switch on into race mode. I think he’ll improve a lot mentally rather than fitness wise and I’d imagine three miles might be more his thing.

Listowel Sat, 1st Jun, 2024  La Note Verte She hated the ground first-time out and is a real summer mare. She is not very big, is light-boned and will run away during the summer. I think as racing went on today, they were going wider and wider and with no chases and six hurdle races, it was getting more chewed up than normal. There was no pace, she was fit and had a run so I decided to go on and it worked out. I think there is a bit more there with her and I imagine she will go jumping now, although she might strengthen up with a break so we'll see what Willie thinks.

Ballinrobe Mon, 27th May, 2024  Kalix Delabarriere He was doing everything right at home. He's by a great stallion in Galiway and has a lovely pedigree. We didn't get him to Punchestown for the Land Rover (Bumper), but we were more than happy to come to Ballinrobe. Mystical Power won this race last year and we're not afraid to bring a good horse up here. We might let him off, we'll see what Willie says, but he's been in training all winter so might just benefit from a break. I think there's a lot of improvement, mentally, in him and he's a horse with a big future.

Tipperary Wed, 15th May, 2024  Ballygunner Castle He’s a fine stamp of a horse. I couldn’t get him to go fast enough in front. He’s not a quick horse and this is a tight track. He’s done well to win in the circumstances, and he has a beautiful pedigree but it’s all three miles. He looks like a staying chaser in time. He’s going on his holidays now and I think there is a lot to look forward to.

Leopardstown Sun, 12th May, 2024  Lope De Lilas Jim was very impressed with our filly. He thinks a lot of his filly and he thought our filly could go places. Galway is a hard place to start off a two-year-old but I wanted to get a run into her before the end of the season just to teach her something. Looking at the Guineas in England maybe I should have been going on the all-weather!. We were happy enough to wait for here, I was a little bit concerned about the ground but Colin said she flew on it. She was only getting going at the line, she went the whole way around to the mile-and-a-quarter start again. She wouldn't have had any ground like that at home and it was a learning day for her. . She has a pedigree that could be anything and we'll just keep our options open. It's easier to be in it rather than trying to get in at a late stage. We'd love to think that she's good enough to be a contender in that.

Ballinrobe Tue, 7th May, 2024  Sorrentino I'd say Ballylinch (Stud, owner/breeders) don't have many six-year-olds!. He's obviously had a good bit of trouble - little niggly issues, nothing major, but sometimes when they get to his age they're stronger horses. I think he's only eighty per cent ready there and we weren't training him hard, as we just wanted to get him to the track. We took the very safety-first route (on the outer) there and it didn't matter. Obviously with his pedigree (by New Bay) he could go back to the Flat so that's an option. I'd love for him to win a winners' bumper, we'll see what's there, and he has the size and scope to jump hurdles. There's lots of options but there's a big engine there if we can keep the chassis in one piece.
