Punchestown Sun, 7th Jun, 2026  Fairlander I thought he'd run a nice race at the festival here and he just disappointed. So did my other horse in the same race and both of them now have won since. I think they were babies in a big field on the day, so we decided to switch things around and ride them more positive today. He travelled very well and Phidelma gave him a very good ride. He jumped really, really well with her and it's nice that he won for the lads, so he gets a little holiday now. I'd like to thank David L'Estrange, who is a part-owner in the horse. The support that he has given me in the last 18 months is incredible and it's given us a huge amount of confidence. I cannot thank David and his family enough.
Wexford Wed, 27th May, 2026  Kilt That’s fantastic as he’s been a very tricky horse and was a runaway on the Flat. I said to Shane to ride him four lengths last, to try and sit there as long as he could but if he was getting keen on him not to disappoint him. The owners are great. The Sloans are from the north and it’s the first horse they’ve had with me. A special mention to William Jones, who is from Dubai and married to one of my best friends. They are great supporters and have a few lovely horses at home to run over the next year. They are really good people and I’m delighted to have a winner for them.
