Gowran Park Fri, 12th Jun, 2026  Folsom Blues He was an eyecatcher the first day and we were happy that he was ready to go to seven (furlongs). I thought he was very impressive really and I think he's a smart colt. I suppose the Tyros would be an obvious stepping stone for him from here. Lots to look forward to, hopefully.

Naas Sun, 17th May, 2026  Jagged Edge We were ready to rock and roll for the Irish Lincoln but unfortunately he scoped poorly the week of the race, so we just had to sit and wait,. It's obviously been a very difficult winter to get these horses right for the spring but every trainer is in the same boat. I just had to take my time with this horse. . He had been showing all the right signals at home and, we felt he was just ready to start. We had to back off him and, we had to load him with antibiotics there for a month so, he was just ready to start. Hopefully now the horse has a bright summer in front of him. . We'll have to see what the handicapper does to him but we might make a Royal Hunt Cup entry tomorrow. Hopefully he'll develop into a stakes horse later in the season.

Navan Sat, 25th Apr, 2026  Tribeca A nice horse. He's still babyish, he's still green, and I don't know how quick he is yet. He's an end of April horse and he has a lot to improve. A big, strong horse and I'd say he has a bright future. He has a very good mentality for a Blue Point - he's very relaxed, he does everything right, so I'm delighted with what he did today.

Clonmel Thu, 2nd Apr, 2026  Blue Train He is a fine-sized horse but apparently isn't bred to get two miles. The ground isn't bad today, there's no depth to it and actually he ran very well the first day for us,. We were happy with his handicap mark off that Fairyhouse run because he had run too free then, so had the hood on to settle him. He was a bit disappointing on heavy ground afterwards but on this first run (at Fairyhouse), we thought he had every chance today. His owner John Lane, a farmer from Bartlemy near Fermoy, has been with me on-and-off for a long, long time and is involved with his sister and a friend. They had a few quid on each-way, but I don't bet at all. The four-year-olds got 8lb today and he'll tip away in more handicaps now.
