After race at Down Royal Fri, 28th Aug, 2026 (1st)  He (Flanagan) landed on the golf course out there and I'd say there was a couple of fellas playing golf that didn't know what was happening when they saw Flanagan coming in around the corner! He's tearing straight back to ride for Barry (Connell, Farrokh) in Wexford. I probably would (have been disappointed if he hadn't won) - in fairness to him, he toughed it out. JP and Jessica's horse (Nod Of Approval) didn't maybe jump as well in Ballinrobe, and he was a nice bit better there today, and I thought coming to the second-last and the last, that we were beaten. In fairness, he knuckled down well. It probably didn't suit him to be making the running, but there was nothing much else Sean could do. He jumped relatively okay and toughed it out. He's rated 65 on the Flat, so we might revert back to that before the ground changes too much. He's probably ground-dependent, but it is great to get two hurdle wins as a three-year-old. That's what he was bought to go and do. Paul Nolan

After race at Ballinrobe Mon, 10th Aug, 2026 (1st)  Speaking after the race rider Sean Flanagan said .Sean O'Keeffe, who's unfortunately out injured at the moment, rode him in Limerick and . These juveniles can be messy if they don't go much pace, but he had the experience and jumped well. He loved the ground, but his wind seems good enough and he'll handle 'summer soft' ground as well.
