Curragh Sat, 18th Jul, 2026 Moody She's a nice filly. She's won her Listed race, her Listed race with a penalty and, a Group 3 now. She's versatile. With Mr. Fabre she'd ran at nine-furlongs twice. She's just tough and, I'd say she's good too. I liked the look of her form and, we buy a lot of those fillies at that level. We can't afford maybe the better ones. Some of them win and, some of them don't. I'd say she's just got ability. That's a good trip for her. She's not short of speed. When she won at a-mile-and-a-half in Cork the way she quickened, I knew a-mile-and-two wasn't a problem. The other race just came up at a time in her training (1m6f) when I thought it might suit to run her. We did that but I doubt we'll be going back to 1m6f. She's in the Jean Romanet, she's in the Yorkshire Oaks, she's in the Vermeille. She's in everything. I ran her today; I kind of felt if I waited for the Give Thanks, I'd be too close to all those races.
Killarney Mon, 13th Jul, 2026 City of Dubai He’s a nice horse. He’s a horse that we’ve had a lot of regard for all year and he just came here ready to run. I thought if he did things right, he could do what he did and if it went wrong, he could finish fourth, that’s exactly what I told the owners this morning. There is a good history in the race and if we can be half as good as some of the previous winners, I’d be happy. His mother is by Galileo and he’s by Mehmas, I think he’ll get a mile-and-a-quarter as a three-year-old. He’s a big scopey horse with a staying pedigree. Today was a start and I’d like to take another step, if we can, before I get into anything. I think he’s very much a three-year-old so we’ll see how we go.
Naas Sat, 4th Jul, 2026 Concorde Landed It's rare you see Paddy Twomey training a five-length winner first-time out! A first-time out winner, full stop. She is a nice filly. She came from the breeze-ups and she was a nice filly there. She's been straightforward since. She is entered in the Lowther and she is entered in the Moyglare because I just felt she had talent. I didn't do a lot with her since the sale. She's come in, she's cantered, she's breezed a few times. She's not been anywhere. I said to Billy, 'I think this one is ready to run.' Billy just said that maybe she has a bit too much speed for the Lowther, but I think she'll be okay. It would be the perfect race for her. I was hoping she'd run well today. I don't really train first-time-out two-year-old winners that much, so it's very possible that I get them beaten, but I think she's nice. We have 50 two-year-olds; we actually have a very good bunch of two-year-olds, but she's nice.

Roscommon Tue, 30th Jun, 2026 Bosphorus Rose She’s a nice filly. She had a good run in the Munster Oaks and she came forward well from it,. It’s a race that we like, we’ve won three of the last five runnings now. Mr Prescott made a good job of her last year and we’re delighted to have her. Hopefully, she can continue to progress. I’d say she’s versatile, over a mile-and-a-quarter or a mile-and-a-half. We’ll look for a Group 3 now. I’d say she’s talented and we’ll see how we get on.

Ballinrobe Mon, 22nd Jun, 2026 Deressa Mr Weld had her last year and she's a new filly to the yard. She probably needed her first run of the season and the step up in trip suited her. We were second in this last year with Elana Osorio who went on to win the Give Thanks (Group 3) at Cork, and I'd like to think this filly has the class to follow a similar trajectory. I'll have a few two-year-old runners at the Curragh this weekend and will be represented in the Pretty Polly Stakes as well.
