After race at Naas Sun, 18th May, 2025 (1st)  It was a nice surprise, I was disappointed with the previous one getting his pocket picked. They are very similar horses,. We’re in the high 90s. I was hoping Smack was a bit better than that, this horses is a Listed/Premier Handicap type of horse. I thought that was a nice effort, I loved how he quickened away when he got the gap. I don’t think I’d come back to seven with him. You have the option of the Ballycorus with him. Maurice would like to get a bit more black-type for the sire because that’s his pet project. He’s a fun horse to have, honest as the day is long, so we’ll enjoy him. G M Lyons

After race at Curragh Fri, 28th Jun, 2024 (1st)  He's a nice horse. I was a little bit taken aback when I saw the yearling allocation and I saw what he was by. I was disappointed I didn't geld the sire when I had him!.. The horse has always shown he was a nice horse and it just goes to prove to you that every horse gets a horse. He's been very slow in coming and he had a winter coat for a while. Then about three or four weeks ago I said that this horse wins a seven-furlong maiden and he's ready for a start. I thought he won nicely. They went a million and he hit the line strong, which was the way we wanted. I like starting them at the Curragh, I thought he'd run well and we'll win our seven-furlong maiden somewhere but he's after taking it all in well and we won't say no to a winner. I have to congratulate Maurice on breeding him, especially doing it with his own sire. No doubt he'll be getting a long string of mares to be covered by Beckford!. Sadly he's not here. He was there on Wednesday and had his winner and we've had another winner for him so we're delighted with that. We'll take this horse home and watch him. The colts are behind the fillies I'd say and we'll see where we go with them. G M Lyons
