After race at Dundalk Fri, 5th Dec, 2014 (1st)

we claimed him for E9,000 and he's a cheap horse now. He's rock solid and we'll have a bit of fun with him. He's in again next Wednesday and we'll see how he comes out of this.

Emmet Michael Butterly

After race at Dundalk Fri, 12th Apr, 2013 (1st)

The way they are rated it made sense to run them here. They are in the shop window and maybe somebody will claim them. They went slow enough and it turned into a sprint up the straight. Other trainers don't seem to like these races. They probably think it's like turkeys voting for Christmas but they suit us.

Edward Lynam

After race at Dundalk Fri, 18th Jan, 2013 (1st)

he's a consistent and talented horse but while he's been edging up the handicap and will have a rating of close to 100 after this, I wouldn't say he isn't a '100 horse'. Weight is no problem to him and hopefully we'll find another race back here for him.

Edward Lynam

After race at Dundalk Fri, 4th May, 2012 (1st)

we ran two in the race and figured if one got the trip, we'd be in the shake up. The winner got the trip well and it's his third win around here and he likes it here.

Edward Lynam

After race at Dundalk Fri, 30th Mar, 2012 (1st)

He had good form over the winter and he's a bit of a polytrack specialist (2nd win here).

Edward Lynam

After race at Dundalk Fri, 6th Jan, 2012 (1st)

Spin Of A Coin (third placed) has been a little bit unlucky several times but hopefully there's a day in him yet. Akasaka lost his way a bit so we gave him a break and he has come back well. Joseph O'Brien always liked him and Emmet (McNamara) said he did it well tonight.

Edward Lynam

After race at Leopardstown Thu, 7th Jul, 2011 (1st)

He is named after a Japanese restaurant and thank God he won't be ending up in one, as he has a bit of ability!. We needed that as we have had a lot of second's and third's recently. The horses have being running well but we have had around three times more second and third's than winners.
