After race at Ballinrobe Fri, 8th May, 2026 (1st)  There's a local man who trains near here called Michael Flannery, but I'm based in Askeaton Co Limerick. This was his first run for me, I bought him after his last run. We might head to Listowel with him at the end of the month. Things are going well, we bought a couple of point-to-pointers lately and hopefully we'll have a bit of luck with them.  M K Flannery

After race at Dundalk Wed, 15th Feb, 2023 (1st)  He has absolutely turned inside out. I don't feel entirely certain as to why he has turned the corner to the extent that he has, but the trip seems to be suiting him really well and he is loving the surface. Physically, without doing anything, he seems to be much happier in himself. He would always have been a horse that tended to be a little bit on the stiff and the sore side. Everything seems to have come together for him in the last four or five weeks. He is making hay and we are delighted with him. He is a terrific young rider and I'm delighted to have made the connection with him. Hopefully, we will have another day or two. We'll see about turf, but there might be an interesting prize in England to maybe look at because travel and things like that wouldn't be any bother to this fella. Exactly (Lingfield or Newcastle), the surface is probably important to him. He has a pedigree that would suggest he could jump a hurdle, he has the size to do it but I'm not entirely certain it is the job for him. Richard John O'Brien
