Down Royal Mon, 28th Sep, 2026 Minaun View Keeping the Down men happy!. Great ride. I told him to jump out and that he didn't have to make it but if you're there you're there. She's able to float and I knew coming down the hill they were all well under pressure at the back, and she was going easy. Great to get a handicap with her. She's in a mares' race at Bellewstown in the middle of the week, so we will see what way the decs are tomorrow and we will make a decision whether we go or not. I'll see what the handicapper does.
Down Royal Fri, 4th Sep, 2026 Dancing Steve I thought Andy (Oliver) had it stolen (with Connecteo), I was standing watching it with him,. We were drawn wide and I did tell Sam to drop this one in, he just about gets the trip, but he needs to be put asleep very early on. He did exactly what he was told. I told him he better bring me to the party if he wins it (apprentice title)!. In all fairness to him, he is a very good kid, and it was a very good ride. I had the option of going to Navan tomorrow, and then I saw this race was splitting and I thought we would chance here. In all fairness, it was a good decision. It was going to end up being less competitive here than a 23/24 runner race around Navan. That's the way you have got to work these horses - you've got to try and give them the best chance to get a win.
Navan Wed, 2nd Sep, 2026 Land Of The Giants I’m delighted as he belongs to my yard sponsor James O’Sullivan who is a great supporter of mine, as was his dad Bart before him. Bart started me off and introduced me to the Dooleys (owners). It means a lot to have this winner. Adam was good on him, he got a lovely ‘possy’, so I couldn’t complain. He was back down in that grade having been running in 0-70s, and sometimes coming back is easier for them. He’ll definitely go to Laytown now for something.

Roscommon Mon, 31st Aug, 2026 Goal Exceeded It was a great ride. He’s a tricky enough customer, but has loads to ability,. I thought he was very good him because he jumped smart and was too keen. In fairness to Adam, it was ballsy the way he took him back and buried him. If he had got beat they would have called him everything, but it’s the only way to ride this fella. You just need to produce him right on the line, and he did that. He just loves passing horses. I couldn’t fault him, it was a great ride. Fair play to the boys (Breen and Martin White and Declan Sheridan), they are good supporters of mine.
