After race at Gowran Park Sat, 7th Nov, 2026 (1st)  I love that horse. After the last day, when I thought he'd win in Punchestown (fifth), I thought the dream wasn't alive anymore. I just put a line through that race. Today was a '120' handicap hurdle; I know he was getting all the allowances, but he's a very good horse to do that. The dream is back again. I was going to leave him alone, he's over 17 hands, only a shell of a horse. The way he won today, I might go for that Grade 3 in Fairyhouse at the end of the month. I'll see how he comes out of this race. If not, I'll leave him alone and bring him back in the new year. I think if I mind him, I think he's a very good horse. R P Cody

After race at Ballinrobe Fri, 11th Sep, 2026 (1st)  I told Paddy to be in the first two or three, but he was a little slowly away from some of his hurdles and the track didn't suit him, he'd prefer a more galloping track. He clipped a heel as well and had to come around them after the last, so it was a good performance, considering all that. He might go for a winners' of one at Punchestown next, it's a race we've won before. Robbie Power did a good job with another horse of mine, Game Point, so I sent this horse up to him to get him off the ground, and he loved him. He jumped economically today, but he'll jump better off a better gallop at a bigger track. He's a fine, strapping horse, probably over 17 hands and with legs like a hunter, and he'll be better on softer ground. I think he can win on the Flat too, maybe over a mile and six (furlongs).
