After race at Kilbeggan Fri, 21st Aug, 2026 (1st)

I thought it was a bit quick for him, after last week, but we brought him to the strand at Laytown on Wednesday and he absolutely flew up it so we said we’d take our chance again,. The ground changed a lot on him and didn’t really suit him as he wants really good ground. They didn’t go that quick early on and it gave them all a chance. It was great to see, it’s his third win this year. I don’t think there is much rain coming so it might dry up again. We’ll keep him going as long as he’s in good form. There is a race in Ballinrobe for him in about a fortnight’s time. He was placed there before so we’ll try and go there next.

He was fourth in a Ladies Open in early April and he hasn't been out of the money since,. I bought him as a three-year-old and he's still going strong. I keep telling you lads in the press that we threaten to retire him every year! . He's very quiet to ride and everything. The kids all rode him. One thing that we've done differently this year is that we bring him to Laytown every 10 days or so, and he loves the strand. I hope he stays around forever!

He was pulling like hell today, he's a bit of an oul rogue and you never know what he is going to do. He's like an old pet and we love him. This will definitely be his last year; we are saying that every year! You couldn't retire him the form he is in, though. I see two horses I sold are after winning in Hexham in the last hour or so.

After race at Punchestown Fri, 28th Apr, 2023 (1st)

Punchestown races is always a big deal for us. Richard (Farrell, owner) was at school with me, many years ago, and we've been friends ever since. I've had seven horses for himself and his late father over the years but we never had any luck and unfortunately Dick passed away about 18 months ago. It's nice to win in the end. He dead-heated (in Borris House) with the horse (Three By Two) that won the Ladies Cup on Tuesday. You don't like shouting too loud, but we were quietly confident. Richard lives in Bishopscourt House in Kill where the Cup originated from, with the Kennedy family, back in 1880.
