Fairyhouse Sat, 2nd Dec, 2023  Corbetts Cross I suppose the run under his belt was a big advantage there. It’s tough going out there and that was probably the difference in it,. Getting a win in these beginners chases in Ireland is very difficult and they are all top-class races. I won’t necessarily be that confident the next day once they have a run under their belt. It’s great to get today out of the way and we can go on to bigger races hopefully.

Fairyhouse Fri, 24th Nov, 2023  Jeroboam Machin He's a nice horse, he came well recommended from Cormac (Doyle) and did it well in his point-to-point,. He's not the flashiest horse at home but no matter what we worked him with, whether it be lesser lights or better horses, he was always there within half a length of them. He just gives what's asked of him and hopefully he could have a big future. He doesn't show much at home but thankfully he does it on the track. Patrick knew the craic with him at home and felt that he'd give him a good education here today, hopefully he'll come on plenty for it. He's a lovely big horse and I'd imagine he'll go over hurdles now. He could go for a maiden hurdle at Christmas, he likes soft ground and operates on that. We'll take it from there.
