Sligo Tue, 9th Jun, 2026  Pets Georgina She had a really good run in a novice hurdle at Kilbeggan and is a talented mare. She's difficult to ride and difficult to train, and did a good bit wrong there. She pulled her way to the front, but still had enough to stay there. She's unnaturally tough. She's out a of a good mare (Missyspet) that the Hartes raced, who won three races. She'll go back hurdling now.

Punchestown Sat, 6th Jun, 2026  Gaelic Arc His first run back didn’t go according to plan but I’d say he would have won in Kilbeggan only he got a terrible fall. He seems to have come alive again. In fairness to Tom (Westropp Bennett) and Mark (Fleming) they were gutsy enough to leave Harry on him. I think Harry is a good kid, I like him. I fancied him today to run a huge race. Maybe it wasn’t the strongest race in the world, but it’s great to have a winner at Punchestown. He gave him a lovely ride. He kept a bit up his sleeve and finished well.

Tramore Fri, 29th May, 2026  Zolpharine It wasn’t before time that he got going, he won his maiden hurdle first time,. He had a good run in a bumper here as well, when he was second to one of Willie Mullins’ (Caman Eileen). I don’t know if he’ll run again tomorrow, we’ll see. It might be a bit soon. He’s a grand horse for the summer. He’s a smasher. It took us so long to get him right, he got a fall schooling after he won his maiden hurdle. There was lots of chiropracty. Mark Slevin did a great job, we fired his palate and tidied him up as best we could. He looks progressive now, even though he’s an eight-year-old. If we pulled him out tomorrow he could win again!. He’s way better over fences, he’s tricky over hurdles but he’s putting it together now.

Limerick Thu, 21st May, 2026  Zolpharine He is Fairyhill Run's (five-time-winning stablemate) half-brother and is a cracking little horse, but it has taken him a while to win for a second time. He had four 'seconds' last year, so hopefully he might go forward and win a few now. He will keep going through the summer.
