After race at Limerick Thu, 30th May, 2024 (1st)

Paddy tries hard and with the bumpers at the moment, Willie (Mullins) is winning 95% of them so no lad gets a chance. I have plenty of horses at home, and some I shouldn't have as they're not much good, but they will give him plenty of experience. He was 17 the day before yesterday and got his license on his birthday and finished third on his first ride as a professional. Garry Cribbin is his agent and he recently went over to England to Charlie and Francesca Poste where he learned a lot. He did plenty pony racing, won the Dingle Derby and was the first Irish lad to win the Scottish Championship. I'm delighted for him.
