After race at Roscommon Mon, 6th Jul, 2026 (1st)  That was good. He’s had a grand campaign. When I saw the race, a three-miler claimer, it was perfect for him,. Any time he goes back into open company he’s not able for it. He’s at that level now. He’s nearly 11 and he’s finding things more difficult. To be fair to the Cody horse he wasn’t getting away from him, they were tired. It’s grand to be able to run him in races like that, he’s not going to last forever and thankfully he’s paying his way. He’s had a good year and has a lot of ones beside his name. He might go to Galway on the Sunday for the three-mile handicap but again he probably won’t be good enough. The owner might be want a day out there. We’re having good fun with him and he’s been a good servant. It think these claiming races are great for trainers that are up against it with horses that are too highly handicapped. You’re prepared to spin the bottle and take a chance. The next thing with him would be rehoming him as a riding horse so at least we can keep running him. They should throw in a couple of more claimers, Gordon (Elliott) likes them, I like them and Denis Hogan likes them. Declan Queally

After race at Clonmel Thu, 14th May, 2026 (1st)  I thought he'd run well going to Wexford the last day when he was in against nice novices, but it is just funny the way the 'levels' work. He was rated nicely for that Wexford race but couldn't compete and was dropping back down today. A big effort goes in at home in keeping him right, he goes swimming and has been kept sweet. He is hard to place as he is old and rated high enough, but there are a couple of races coming up for him. Declan Queally

Wed, 4th Mar, 2026  That’s his kind of thing now. He’s ten-years-old and he’s had plenty of issues. He’s staying in one piece at the moment. He’s had tendon issues. Dave (Kiely) is getting a good return out of him. He’d been a long-time maiden. Between point-to-pointing and aiming for Foxhunters, he’d never really had a clear run. He’s a grand horse and he’s grand for that job. He’s a novice and a veteran! He can run in a novice chase as well, so he has a couple of options. I’d say the visor is after waking him up and Kevin is good value for his 7lb. Declan Queally

Tue, 10th Feb, 2026  He was the champion point-to-pointer one year so it is amazing that this is the first race he has won on a racecourse. It's nice to actually win a race with him and David (Kiely, owner) has had him a long time. In the original entries he was set to carry more weight, but I dropped him to weight him fairly and if somebody claims him now, so be it. If he stays, we'll try and find something similar.Ãâ€Å¡ . He has paid for himself this year again, so I'm happy out. Declan Queally
