After race at Killarney Thu, 14th Jul, 2022 (1st)  the ride wasn't by design as I lost my position but it worked out well. He is a bit lairy but it is a big drop in grade for him. He had been running terribly all winter and we gave him a freshen up recently. He was a good juvenile but they get killed by the handicapper and was a victim of his own success. He paid the penalty for the last year and a half. I said to Liam (Mulryan) about riding him colder and he has been working really well. I haven't seen Liam at a racecourse for 10 years so when I saw him today I knew he fancied him too. I'm delighted for him as he has been a loyal supporter since I started training. He always has two or three in training with me and I enjoy talking to him regularly on the phone. Originally the plan was to go Galway but it was Liam who made this plan - he said 'everyone wants to go to Galway but Killarney would do me'. Denis Gerard Hogan

After race at Ballinrobe Fri, 16th Apr, 2021 (1st)  it was Liam’s (Mulryan, owner) idea to come here and he suggested that we should try and get Rachael. He’s a big fan, it’s him paying the bills and we went with it and we’ll certainly take it after the last day. He might be a horse for the Galway Hurdle if he crept into it, given Liam is a Galway man. He’s in the Grade One at Punchestown as well, which is an option, but we’ll see - he has been busy and he’ll need a break. The track today wouldn’t have been ideal so he did well to win.

After race at Naas Sun, 28th Feb, 2021 (1st)  He did it nicely and to be fair he’s run into one or two (good horses). He got a few pounds for finishing second the last day so we said that we’d claim the 5lb and Hugh did us no wrong last weekend in the same colours. We gave him irons today! Denis Gerard Hogan
