Listowel Thu, 24th Sep, 2026  Mart Lane This is my second winner from three runners this week and we stepped this horse up in trip today, which was the key to him. I bought him along with a few more with Flat staying pedigrees, as a yearling and while he is out of a Pivotal mare and you'd think he has speed, got done for toe the last day. We stepped him up in trip today, he jumped great and while he is low-grade at 108, is exciting as I think he can climb the ranks. He might even stay three miles. This is my second horse named 'Mart Lane' and is the third one in total. It is a lane just off the N11 after leaving Leopardstown racecourse, and was near where Seamus McGrath trained Arc winner Levmoss. I love the name and the last lad didn't really work out, although he did win a maiden hurdle.

Listowel Sun, 20th Sep, 2026  Net Boy He has really only had one-and-a-half runs over fences as he went at the third fence at Leopardstown and pulled a shoe when pulling up at Killarney. As a result, I thought the others would have too much experience for him,. He works to a similar level to my earlier runner Apple’s Of Bresil (second in the preceding novice chase) and there wouldn't be much between them, although this one is a two-miler and Apple’s Of Bresil is a three-miler. It was a €45,000 handicap which is a lot for this grade of horses, so it was grand to get it done. He is a two-miler and is a young man's ride!. He jumped them like a set of hurdles and Sean wasn't taking a pull. He got away with it today because it is Listowel, but I'd be hoping he'll learn a little bit if he is to go to Leopardstown, or places like that. There is a 0-130 at Leopardstown over Christmas for him, and if he gets up higher, there is the likes of the Dan Moore Chase.
