Herja downs hotpot in Sligo match
Pound off the mark over fences
He was a bit big and starey early on, but jumped better in the second half of the race,. We'll try and get another run into him before the ground changes and the better horses come out. Then we'll give him a break for the winter. As long as there's some bit of good in the ground description, he's able to handle it.
Back-to-back wins for 'fragile' Miners Bridge
He’s a lovely horse and jumps brilliantly, but is very fragile and has had a lot of leg trouble. His owners (the CKC Syndicate) have been very patient with them and I’m delighted for them. Hopefully, we might be able to nick another one with him. There’s a race for him at Limerick on Munster National weekend, and we might go to Cheltenham after that if all goes well.

Mini just Gets home in Sligo finale
She has limited ability, but has a wonderful temperament and is the stable pet,. She leads everything at home, anyone can ride her, and she can school in front, upsides or in front. She's been consistent lately but, to be honest, it's a bonus to win a race with her. I breed a few horses with her owner Mary Ann Onions, who's been in the game a long time and was a steward of the Turf Club in the past.
