Thurles Thu, 8th Oct, 2026 Tariff We went to Listowel really fancying him and while he had a wide draw there, was drawn wide again today, which actually suits him as he likes a bit of room. He has come on in all his runs, his run in Cork was very good and we've been waiting on soft ground for him all year. He is only a light little horse and looks like a Dundalk-horse but he wants slow ground. We'll try and get him out quickly again before the end of the season. I have a few bits and pieces for the end of the season and for Dundalk, and have a few two-year-olds left to run. I'm trying to regroup with new horses from the sales for next year as well.
Listowel Tue, 22nd Sep, 2026 Platino Bianco Robert has won on her in the past and both times I told him to be forceful on her, as at home nothing can go with her. She is a better work-horse than racehorse but, when she gets her head in front, she toughs it out really well. She likes having a bit of room, that's the key to her and Robert was able to fill her up. When she gets it her own way in front, she would die for you although it was hard work getting her to lead in the early stages today. It was nice to do it for the owner Breen White, who had four runners in the race and I had three of them. Tariff was the one we really fancied although the ground was probably tight enough for him. Getting any festival winner is great, but we had decided to work back from this one for Breen and ran everything we could for him. He comes for a few days and likes to have runners here.
