After race at Dundalk Fri, 6th Nov, 2026 (1st)  Booyea had never been here in his life. He is a good ground-horse, so would normally be in the field by now but he has dropped down in the ratings and now there are races for him here, whereas in the past there weren’t. He was in great form this season but had no luck. We went to Leopardstown in fantastic form for Champions Weekend but was drawn on the rail and broke really slowly. That happened twice this year. It really suited tonight, there was a small field, he had it his own way and got into a nice rhythm. He loved the surface. I'll chat to his owners (Ballinlough Syndicate) and see what they say. We'll have a look and see what’s there for him, but he was happy as Larry there and loved that. If he can keep doing that, we’ll keep coming back! Thomas Gibney

After race at Curragh Sun, 30th Jun, 2024 (1st)  The easiest part was looking at him out there. He's a real handful as you can see with him coming in there now. We had some job tacking him up. I wasn't on the ball today, I should have had earplugs or something on him. He got really upset before the race and I honestly thought that was it, race over. Fair play to him he's a good horse., he's tough. He's very revved, that's the way he is. He actually hasn't been that revved in a long time, last year he was very difficult but he settled down a lot and we thought we were past all that. He got very revved up today but I suppose it is Derby Day. Like I say I just wasn't thinking ahead. It fantastic, we had a winner at this meeting on the Saturday last year. To have a winner at the Curragh is fantastic anyway and on Derby Day is even extra. Thomas Gibney

After race at Fairyhouse Fri, 14th Jun, 2024 (1st)  The plan was to go to Limerick last week but he had a bit of an issue and couldn’t run. I was very keen to run before we went to the Curragh on Derby weekend and there weren’t any suitable races for him so I said to the lads we’d stick him into this. We are thinking of dropping back in trip to a mile at the Curragh anyway so I said we could give him a bit of a sharpener at Fairyhouse and see how that goes. Thomas Gibney

After race at Gowran Park Mon, 5th Jun, 2023 (1st)  The horses are going well and the yard is in form. After the filly won the other day (Drop The Drip) we were hoping this fella would run well,. Thomas Gibney
