Navan Sat, 17th May, 2025  Makaiah Brilliant, a lovely ride. He said he would keep it simple and, drawn 10, try and get in third or fourth or fifth, and stay on the outside. He just said it went like clockwork. She really deserved it. She was unlucky in Sligo, she got caught in traffic and got there too late. She is so honest and she will pick up a hurdle race as well, we have a nice mark over hurdles. She got 3lb for Sligo without collecting. I'd say she will be out of the 60 (grade) now, although she is in Gowran on Wednesday over two miles. She will carry a penalty there and I'd say we will probably go if she eats up and is happy over the next couple of days.

Dundalk Fri, 10th Jan, 2025  Calm The Jets We knew he was a very, very good horse. We will probably aim for something like one of those Derby trials. He's green, he hung and he did everything wrong today, and he could just end up being a pretty smart horse. He's not a Derby horse, but he's up to landing in that black-type (Group 3) company - he might be better than that. I haven't had anything like him. He was just weak as a baby and we minded him. We were ready for today - he definitely needed today to learn. The family is very good. He does (show plenty at home) and I've nothing to go with him anyway!. He ran in that barrier trial in the middle of summer and he was so weak, it was just a day away for him. We think he has a big future. He is for sale, but we would want an awful lot of money for him because he is a very, very exciting horse. Open to offers, but we wouldn't be stressed. He's very sound and very easy to train. We'll probably step him up (in trip) the next day. He wants further, obviously. He will get further. He has a lovely action and I think he'd like a bit of nice ground (on turf). His next run will be on the turf.
