Fairyhouse Tue, 10th Nov, 2026  Tuckmill It’s been an unbelievable day. It’s my first treble, we’ve had a couple of doubles before and been close to trebles,. Thanks to everyone in the yard, they all work hard at home. We’ve had a complete change around in staff in the last few months and it’s all working out. I’m delighted with the way things are going at the moment. He got a bit of a cut to his knee so we’ll drop him off at the vets on the way home. It’s great for the McParlands and for Ronan, he gave him a great ride. Early on I thought he was plenty far back but he knew they were going plenty quick and in fairness he rode a lovely race. I thought the handicapper was hard enough on him the last day when he gave him 10lb but I suppose he was right! Hopefully he won’t be as hard on him next time. In fairness the horse is probably still in training because of Ronan, to give him a bit of experience. As long as the ground stays nice he’ll tip away and he might go back over fences the next time.

Fairyhouse Tue, 10th Nov, 2026  Live To Laugh He seems to be improving this year. Early on in his career I thought he wasn’t the strongest of finishers,. From his run in Listowel to winning the last day in Punchestown he seems to be progressing away nicely. This William Hill Series is great and to get another win in it is great. One of the syndicate members Anthony Callan, who is a brother-in-law of mine, actually passed away since Punchestown so we’re all thinking of him and his family today. He’s a lovely horse for them all going forward. Ethan is with me four or five days a week and goes into Gordon (Elliott) a couple of days as well. I think he has the makings of a nice rider going forward, he has a lot to learn yet but he’s doing everything right at the moment.

Fairyhouse Tue, 10th Nov, 2026  Bethpage Theatre She’s been a little bit frustrating; things have been going wrong with her the whole way through. She ran off the bend with Sam (Ewing) the last day in Punchestown,. She’s a well-bred filly. It definitely wasn’t the strongest of races but it was ideal for us. She’s in the scheme and she gets the bonus. It’s great for Tom Keane, he gets a lot of lads into bits and pieces of ownership in the yard so I’m delighted for him. His mam took a tumble yesterday and he didn’t get to make it today. Hopefully she’s recovering. She’s well enough handicapped going forward. We never got a clear run at her. Her jumping early on was iffy and you could see at the second last that she was rolling out a bit. That’s just her and she might be better going the opposite direction but there’s not much for her. She’s a lovely filly to have. Whether she does much during the winter I don’t know, she might go off out and come back later in the spring.

Fairyhouse Tue, 3rd Nov, 2026  King Of The Greys we fancied him a good bit the last day in Punchestown where he was just got caught out, as they went very steady. I thought he did it nicely today and the penny is only starting to drop with him. He's still a little bit green, is a nice horse going forward and I think he'll even be a bit better over fences. That’s great for us in the William Hill Series as that's three wins now, so that's another bonus with him doing it. Fair play to William Hill for sponsoring it and hopefully we can keep going.

Punchestown Tue, 13th Oct, 2026  Live To Laugh He had run well in Navan the last day and he jumped unreal today. He travelled everywhere, we didn’t go a mad gallop and that allowed me to be up with the pace, which suited. Hopefully there might be another day in him now. This is always what I wanted to do, so I’ll keep the head down now. I ride mostly in point-to-points, work for Colin Bowe and school for various other trainers. I had my second point-to-point winner just last Sunday so it has been a good few days. Tom McParland is a legend of racing around here so to train a winner for him in Punchestown is brilliant. Hopefully Tuckmill will stay tipping away and Ronan will have a bit of fun on him until the ground gets too soft.

Punchestown Tue, 13th Oct, 2026  Live To Laugh I suppose he was well-in considering his higher chase mark and he had a lovely run over a trip that was short enough for him in Listowel. We were a little bit worried about the ground being quick for him but in fairness they did a great job watering. I think he’ll improve away on winter ground, up through the ranks in handicaps over both hurdles and fences. They are a great bunch of people that own him, there's a brother-in-law of mine, Anthony Callan, who's not too well at the moment so hopefully that'll give his family a bit of a lift.
