Bellewstown Fri, 1st Jul, 2022  Mass Gathering She travelled lovely. She's a good little filly, she won in Sligo and the handicapper gave her 15lb - I wouldn't give as much to the mother-in-law! In hindsight it was the best thing that ever happened. She ran a cracker in Sligo there and Gearoid Brouder gave her a lovely ride and she just got caught 10 days ago. I was going to leave her for Galway but she was kicking the door down so we like coming up here and taking a few pound off the Meath boys!. I think she will go on to Galway - she will get the seven (furlongs). That would be the dream. I only have two wins, I only took the licence out last June. We were just feeling our way last year. Wesley (Joyce) is well worth his 7lb claim, he's a great little jockey and more than capable. I give all them young fellas a chance, they need a chance. In time to come they might be at the top and they won't forget me.

Wexford Wed, 25th May, 2022  Must Be Dreaming we picked her up cheaply. She had a good run in Cork on the Flat and when she came up for sale, I thought she might make a summer mare. She is by Canford Cliffs and I thought she would like a bit of nicer ground and her dam (Maontri) was good on the Flat. JJ said she has a real brain for hurdles so I don't think we will be going back on the level too fast. She won cannily enough and hopefully we can find another race like that. There is another one here in a fortnight's time but she is rated 89 so it depends what she gets from the handicapper.

Cork Fri, 6th May, 2022  Golden Days she got into trouble at Leopardstown the last day and full marks to the owners who have persevered with her. She had placed form in the past but had niggly problems and in fairness the owners stuck by me too - it is very much appreciated. She is a seven furlongs filly, she doesn't get six or a mile and unfortunately these races are like hens' teeth. With a bit of luck, she might build on today. The three-member syndicate are from all over the country and unfortunately today is the first time that none of them have been at the races. But the job is done so I'm delighted.

Gowran Park Wed, 4th May, 2022  Maccliff My biggest worry today was her actually going to the start and you probably saw her antics there. It was a bonus straight away that we got her to go down. Siobhan did a great job there and if she ever deserved to win one she deserved that one. All credit to her and we owe her one. It's her first turf win, she hadn't even been placed up to now on turf, so we are delighted. My plan was to pop her out to the field for a while and come back for the all-weather after a long summer break but we might change that plan now. She enjoyed that.
