Cork Fri, 14th Aug, 2026 Suzie Songs Suzie Songs has been a project. Last year, her only bad race was in the Moyglare but she was running away and doing everything too quick. She has grown and while her work hasn’t been showing us that, she is doing things right now. She is only doing what we expect her to do, although we didn’t think we’d ever get her back to this level. We’ll talk to Colin, keep her to seven (furlongs) and I think the ground is important for her. They are going lickety-split here today, which plays to her strengths, but we’re slowly getting her back to her best - not that we will ever get her back to where she was.

Naas Mon, 3rd Aug, 2026 Livenka I’ve always liked her. It’s a nice pot to win with her en route to where we hope to be going with her, which is black-type,. said Lyons. I put her in the Lowther this morning at second entries. If she’s alive and kicking, that’s a lovely option. As with all the Juddmonte fillies, it’s all about black-type, but this is a nice pot to win en route to that. We’ve been lucky in the race and I’m never too proud to take Joe Foley’s money!. You don’t know what she’s beaten, obviously, but you do know what she beat in Fairyhouse, that’s the plus because she (Star Of State) demolished the Leopardstown horses. Regardless of what she beat, she’s a filly that I like. I made a mistake going seven; this is where she needs to be — at this trip. We’ll concentrate on this trip for the rest of the year, and she’s a top-of-the-ground horse, which is typical of Bated Breath.
Naas Wed, 22nd Jul, 2026 Suzie Songs She's a frustrating girl. Obviously, her two-year-old form is phenomenal but we lost her. She's a bigger girl now. She's done a lot of growing. Whether it was the growing and everything in between. We have that bit on her. It's not ideal because it doesn't help them out of the stalls. But that's good. I wouldn't get carried away, we are still a work in progress. We've all the black type in the bag. Will we win black type more? We are getting there. Let's see how she comes out of this. She's not easy. I knew we were on the right road after the last day but we're still not the finished article. I'd love her to come back to last year's form.
Curragh Sun, 19th Jul, 2026 La Tache He's slow out of the gates. Colin says he's never going to be any other way. That's who he is. We even bounced him, which I'd never do at home, since his last run. He's just so laid back. He's not a five-furlong horse. He's going to be a grand horse for Philip and Norma Richards. Another horse Keri has bought for them, so another sprinter to look forward to. It's just taken a while for the penny to drop with him. I'm delighted with the filly (Southern Boulevard, third), she's after running a blinder. She ran away with Gary going to the start in Naas, so we put a different bit on her and we put earplugs in her. I'm gobsmacked to see that she did what she did and stayed going. She's going to develop into a nice horse, that filly.
Curragh Sat, 18th Jul, 2026 Genchev He won his maiden well in Navan on easy ground. I'd say the whole day in Ascot just got the better of him. He kind of boiled over and, it was really a non-event. We brought him home, freshened him up and, this was a nice next target. He's a horse that you can set alight from the stalls and then he shuts down and stays and, he's always only doing enough, hence the cheekpieces. He's turning into a likeable sort of horse.
