After race at Down Royal Sat, 23rd Jun, 2018 (1st)  I thought she (Dayereh) would have taken a lot of beating on her last run. This lad's first run for us he had a real nice run in Limerick and seemed to go backwards big time on his next two starts,. Declan (McDonogh) had won on him before for the last trainer and Declan said he can't be crowded at all. He shows plenty enough at home. First-time blinkers could have been a factor as well. I'd say they went plenty hard, all of the fancied ones were handy and didn't stay going. It's great to get it. The syndicate have been with me basically since I started. He'll go for something similar next time. He's actually in Cartmel on Friday over hurdles in case the blinkers did spark him up. We'll see if we go or not, it depends on what the English handicapper does. Mark Michael McNiff

After race at Limerick Sat, 10th Oct, 2015 (1st)  That's my first winner but I've ridden and trained point to point winners in the past. I'm delighted to get it as I've had the license too long but hard work has finally paid off. He's one of three horses I have, all are family owned, but I gave away his sister, The Nutcracker (dual winner), so this makes up for that! Nigel Carolan
