Killarney Wed, 15th Jul, 2026 Minaun View She’s after getting her confidence back, she had a lot of placed efforts before we got her. She toughed it out well. They came at her down the corner, and again up the straight, and she still toughed it out. She’s genuine. If she gets her confidence up, we might throw her back in a handicap, if we still have her. She’s in at a claimable price so someone might go and snatch her. She has a great attitude and Patch was very good on her as we were drawn wide. He got her out, kicked on in front and dictated the whole way. They went good and quick and stayed at it.

Killarney Mon, 13th Jul, 2026 Johnny Soda He was a breeze-up horse from last year, I bought him off Ian McCarthy,. I was told he was a very nice horse and he’s proved it now. I thought we weren’t well handicapped at the start of the year but he’s done really well. He’s a decent horse and I think he can progress more; he could turn into a premier handicap horse before we’re finished. He’s a big huge horse. Adam was very good on him. He said there was going to be no pace. He thought Dylan might make it and he didn’t give him a freebie, he sat on his girth. Dylan kicked early off the bend but he cruised into the race. I’m very happy. It’s a great bunch of lads that own him. Most of them are from Dublin. They’ll be happy men today so I’m delighted.
Bellewstown Fri, 3rd Jul, 2026 Minaun View the three horses had good chances although I wasn't expecting that, so it was grand and it is great to get a winner down here. Minaun View had a lovely run, he (jockey Patrick McGettigan) was drawn wide but he got to the front so was able to settle it down on him. Fair play to him. She travelled well and she had only ran on Wednesday. She's solid but it is the first time she has won and we had to drop her back to this class to win. She had been running well in handicaps but was just not getting there. She wanted a little ease in the ground. If she is not claimed, we will roll away with her.
Curragh Sun, 28th Jun, 2026 Pierre Royal Barry Potts was with me when we bought him. We liked him, he was very lightly raced and had a nice profile. We thought there was a good bit of improvement in him. He cost 48,000 and he was well bought as usually those horses are making treble that. They are not easy bought. He looked a nice model, and we’ve been lucky out of Mr Weld’s before. It was nice to get another one. He’s a big horse and he needed a bit of time. We love Ballybrit so I’d say that will be our next port of call. Then Champions Weekend and then we might have to get our suncream!
