Sligo Wed, 5th Aug, 2026  Canon Law It's great to be here on an autumn evening in Sligo, under the shadow of Ben Bulben. I read Yeats' poetry for my Leaving Cert, and that wasn't today or yesterday!. We were a long time in the wilderness, either with horses who just lacked ability or were out of form, but they're really well at the moment. It's great for the lads in the yard, my owners and my wife Shirley. I said to her a couple of weeks ago that I thought I'd have four winners in a fortnight, and she told me to lie down and that she'd call the doctor. These owners are great, they have six horses with me. Three of them have now won, and I think the other three are capable of winning as well. This horse had been running well. It was a bit quick for him the last day at Cork and he appreciated the easier ground today.
