Bellewstown Fri, 5th Jul, 2019  Sweetest Taboo That's Nathan's 7lb gone as well, so it great that he did it on one of our own. She's just there for the apprentices to ride. She's great for the kids to ride - a big, solid tank. She's a saint because she stood there for 10 minutes but jumped well and got over to the rail. We'll keep messing about with her!

Tipperary Sun, 23rd Jun, 2019  Killourney He is a big honest horse who did it well in Gowran and did it well today. Bill said the track was a tiny bit tight for him and he'll come on from that. Pat Grogan from Killourney owns and bred him (as part of the Rachra Partnership) and they have a better looking half-brother by Kodiac to sell this year!

Tipperary Sun, 23rd Jun, 2019  Memyselfandmoi She is a very well bred filly and it was very important to get her to win as she is the first foal from the mare. The mare is a smashing mare and is a half-sister to Daneleta who is the dam of Intense Focus. She is five lengths better going that way and a bit of ease in the ground helped. We'll try and get black-type with her.

Tipperary Sun, 23rd Jun, 2019  Sweetest Taboo She was thriving all summer and I said I'd give her a bit of a shock and try her in a visor, so obviously they worked. The ease in the ground probably helped too as she didn't feel it as much. She is versatile (ground wise) and is there for the apprentices to ride. There was another girl in the yard going to ride but she was too low for her to ride. She wins and pays her own way and the kids can ride her so what more do you want. She leads the two-year-olds every Thursday and we'll look for another race with her somewhere.

Leopardstown Thu, 20th Jun, 2019  Raffaello Nathan said that his brother's horse might not stay. So I said 'make it a bit of a test for him',. He said 'I probably didn't go fast enough' but I said 'sure you won didn't you!'. He's an apprentice and he did everything right. The horse was game under him and it was grand to get another win for him. There are plenty of options for him and I'd still say he'd need a bit more of an ease in the ground. There might be a couple of races in Galway for him and we'll have a bit of fun with him.
