Dundalk Wed, 17th Feb, 2021  Spelga He's very consistent and always runs a good race,. It was a ridiculously slowly run. Colin got a lovely position on him and I'd say the visor just helped him concentrate up the straight. It's lovely to win with him as Paul Rooney has been a great owner for us and the horse has been a good servant to him. It's great for Paul to get a winner because the owners are fantastic to have stayed so loyal all through the pandemic. Paul in particular loves nothing more than a day out at the races and we really appreciate his support. He'll get a good kick out of that.

Dundalk Fri, 5th Feb, 2021  Sienna Lady Ronan took a break. It was always the plan that he would take January off as it’s a tough year with wasting and all that. He was just helping his Dad and taking a break to come back fresh. It’s his first night back and nice to get a winner. I’m delighted to win with that filly and I didn’t think it would take me until now to win with her. Her owner/breeder Michael Enright is a great supporter of ours and it was important to get that bracket for the filly. We’ll give her a break now and bring her back for the turf. I think now that she has got her head in front it will help her. We put her up in trip before because we thought she wanted it and then we put cheek pieces on her and she was a bit keen. She got us out of trouble tonight despite the wide draw and Ronan gave her a fine ride. She came home strong and did well to overcome it.
