After race at Fairyhouse Wed, 20th Sep, 2017 (1st)

He's a legend of a horse and a brilliant horse to have,. I didn't really fancy him today as he was drawn 18 of 18 and I thought he might struggle but he's a real warrior. We haven't had the saddle on him much since he ran in Listowel and we've had him out in the paddock to keep him happy. He's in again at Roscommon on Monday and will probably go there if the ground is okay.

Adrian McGuinness

After race at Galway Sat, 5th Aug, 2017 (1st)

He'd lost his form a bit this year. He'd a bit of a problem with his back and we gave him a break. He had a couple of good runs on fast ground but he loves a bit of a dig in it, and I was praying that he would get in today. He's been a brilliant horse for me all through his career. He's won on the Curragh two years on the trot, he's won a Rockingham and three Premier Handicaps. People were saying I should retire him but I knew there was another day in him. I'm thrilled to bits for him and he's one of my favourite horses ever. He's in again at the Curragh on Monday, and is a horse that takes his races well. He'll have a spin on the beach and we might declare him.

Adrian McGuinness

After race at Curragh Sun, 20th Mar, 2016 (1st)

“That's the first plan over. We'll tip away with him in handicaps as long as he gets a dig in the ground,”

Adrian McGuinness

After race at Curragh Sun, 29th Mar, 2015 (1st)

He's been a great servant and I'm glad to have him. I gave him a couple of runs in Dundalk to get him right with soft ground early in the season in mind. That's his ground. Declan rode him work a few times recently and was mad keen to ride him.

Adrian McGuinness

After race at Cork Sat, 18th Oct, 2014 (1st)

It's his ground and he's slid down the ratings a bit. He's run good races in big handicaps during the year like the Rockingham. He's entered at Navan on Wednesday and will go there, and he could even go to Leopardstown next weekend,.

Adrian McGuinness

After race at Navan Fri, 14th Jun, 2013 (1st)

He's going for the Paddy Power Sprint (formerly the Scurry Handicap) on Derby day. My horses have been a bit under the weather but that's a good result and hopefully there'll be a bit of rain at the Curragh!

Adrian McGuinness

After race at Curragh Sun, 30th Sep, 2012 (1st)

The plan is to go for a heritage handicap at Ascot next week.

Gary Bannon representing Adrian McGuinness

After race at Curragh Sun, 22nd Jul, 2012 (1st)

My plan was to go for the seven furlong handicap yesterday but when I saw the entries for this I knew the field wasn't going to be too big so I decided to go for it instead. He is not an out and out sprinter but the way the ground is he is getting away with the five. He was rated 51 just six weeks ago and I'm a bit shocked as I didn't think he was as good as this. He is versatile trip wise and he will probably go to Galway now for the big seven furlong handicap. Ian is value for around three or four pounds as he knows him so well.

Adrian McGuinness

After race at Limerick Fri, 22nd Jun, 2012 (1st)

I thought the handicapper would stop him today but he is never too far wrong. He is in super form and Ian said after Sligo that he won quite easily. He is improving. He has a cut on his hind leg but hopefully he will be able to run in the Scurry Handicap at the Curragh next weekend.

Adrian McGuinness

After race at Sligo Tue, 19th Jun, 2012 (1st)

If the handicapper was right he should have won tonight as he was 6lb well in. Hopefully he won't be too hard on him,. He's just in great form and got a great ride from a terrible draw. He's in at Limerick again on the weekend but has to carry a 5lb penalty on top of his reassessed mark. Maybe he'll go for something at the Curragh on Derby weekend. He seems versatile enough trip wise.

Adrian McGuinness

After race at Limerick Sat, 16th Jun, 2012 (1st)

He is in again at Sligo on Tuesday over the same trip. He wanders around a bit and that's why he wears the cheekpieces. He lost his way a bit during the winter but he is back to himself now.

Adrian McGuinness

After race at Dundalk Fri, 25th Mar, 2011 (1st)

Bubbly Bellini is fit and well and he was a bit unlucky at Lingfield where he was placed twice. We'll see what the handicapper does but he may be back here next week over seven furlongs. He can be a tricky ride and Colm was great on him. He's a well-handicapped horse at present (ran here off 52 having been as high as the mid-seventies in the past).
