Gowran Park Mon, 1st Jun, 2026 Real Petite We went hurdling during the winter and she’s too small and was just too afraid,. We might go back over hurdles when the ground gets very quick during the summer. She lost her way over the winter, she wants nice ground. Niall McCullagh rode her the last day over a mile-and-a-half. We stuck cheekpieces on her and she was too free. He said ‘go back to a mile’ and stick the cheekpieces back on her. So we’ve him to thank. This was the first opportunity that came along. Myself and the owner were running out of time and this was her last chance today. It was great and the young lad gave her a grand ride. It was lovely to get a win out of her. She’s a half-sister to Rightsotom, who won for me and went to England, and there are a couple of nice horses in the pedigree. She’s earned her keep for a while more anyway. You never know, now that she’s got her head in front now she might come along because her pedigree suggests that she should be better than that.

Kilbeggan Fri, 15th May, 2026 Figero This time last year we said he was a right horse and he’d win a bumper. He got balloted out of a few bumpers and we decided to give him a break. We brought him back for the winter but he doesn’t like soft ground, he’s a summer horse. He ran disappointing in two bumpers and we put it down mainly to the ground. We thought he didn’t stay and I’d say that’s as far as he wants it, two miles. He’s a great jumper, loves it, and jumped brilliantly. I’d say the ground was the whole thing for him and he grew up a bit in the meantime as well. He won’t be running in the winter again. He’s a fighter as well. He’s a nice horse at home and we did fancy him to win a bumper, and he would have on good ground but time was running out and we saw this race. It’s for horses that weren’t placed after two runs so we said we’d crack on and go for it. We’ll maybe look for a novice now and I think he’ll win a mile-and-a-half maiden on the Flat. We’ll celebrate this first and then see what happens.
