Cork Sun, 5th Nov, 2023  Como Park He toughed it out in fairness to him and I'm delighted for the guys, Gav, Tony and Jimmy who are a but a few who are involved. He jumped way better today. We felt he was more suitable to nicer ground but I'm delighted with how he ran.

Dundalk Wed, 1st Nov, 2023  Fairytale Princess She has just absolutely transformed since we went to the all-weather. She is a beautiful looking, scopey mare and we will have a bit of fun with her now going up in the ratings. While she is in that form, there is no reason to stop with her. She'll get further and Kevin (Blessing, Woodridge Stables Limited) is a sporting man. He'll keep her in training next year to see if she improves even more on good or better ground for black-type. There is a good programme (to go through the grades here) so we will keep going with her until she tells us that she is tired and then she will have a break.

Bellewstown Wed, 30th Aug, 2023  Final Orders I suppose on paper he was supposed to be doing that, but still it was nice to do it. If there is one guarantee, he won't be running in this race next year!. I wouldn't rule it out (a stint over hurdles now), it is worth considering. He certainly doesn't want heavy winter ground. In the Galway Plate he made a mistake and the false start was the biggest thing for him. He had a lovely position the first time if he had got away. He just didn't get a nice position and made a bad mistake (before finishing unplaced). I wouldn't rule the Galway Plate out for next year, it is a difficult race with all the hustle and bustle and he is only a small, little horse. It is not an easy task. Possibly another option for him maybe a Paddy Power in Cheltenham in November.
