After race at Wexford Thu, 23rd Jul, 2026 (1st)  this means a lot as he is so difficult to train and it has been a long journey with him. He won once for us in Dundalk previously and this is our first every jumps winner today. I took out my jumps license for him as he played up in the stalls at Leopardstown one day and Gary Halpin (jockey) came in and said not to ask to ride the horse again! He was always tricky in the stalls but has relaxed over hurdles although it has taken him a long time. It has taken a lot of runs and Dylan got him going when he was hard to ride. I’d love to go back for another Flat race but the danger is, he might get another suspension. We ran him once over fences but, the next day, he refused over hurdles. He is that kind of horse and you never know what he is going to do. We’ve only three horses on the go, we ran two today and have another racing tomorrow, so we’ll have a quiet few days afterwards.

After race at Dundalk Fri, 20th Dec, 2024 (1st)  Esticky End came from England for free as he had lost his form. I actually begged a few people to take him, as he a character at home and put three people in hospital earlier in the year! Half the weigh room refused to ride him until Gary Halpin was brave enough to get on him at Leopardstown last summer but he got bruised in the stalls. Tom McGuinness
