Curragh Sun, 17th Jul, 2022  Vernet She's a good hardy filly. She had a good run first time, over five-and-a-half, in a good maiden and we thought when she went seven she'd show some progress,. She had to be tough there today. It was very close, just a bob of the heads. It's great to win a maiden with her. We'll head for some black-type now. I thought she showed plenty of pace so I wouldn't be against coming back to six with her.

Tipperary Wed, 29th Jun, 2022  La Dolce Vita She did it well, handled the ground and is a very decent filly. She stayed the trip well and it is nice to get a win into her. There was no pace, they quickened up well and runner-up (Hans Andersen) obviously ran on well but it is hard around here if you don't have a previous run. I thought it would take a very good one to beat her first time out, like Dad's was (Aidan O'Brien's Deneuve) but she is a decent Stakes filly. We'll step back up to Stakes company next and she could go for the Silver Flash Stakes at Leopardstown.

Limerick Sat, 11th Jun, 2022  Marhaba Ashmayme recently we've used blinkers on Warren Beach (dual winner) and this horse as we felt maybe they were leaving a little behind at the races and we're not getting to see their true ability. For a novice he ran very well in a good Dundalk maiden first time out, had a nice second run and was slightly disappointing the last day. Obviously we went for the blinkers today and he used himself very well and got into his stride. He is a real good mover with a good action and seemed to float on that ground. I'm glad to get that done and it's our first winner for the owner as well and I'm sure he'll be pleased as he is a homebred. We'll keep going while the ground is in his favour and look for a conditions' or rated race next. Bill is riding very well and is making the calls at the right time.

Naas Sun, 15th May, 2022  Amortentia O’Brien, doubling up at Naas after Brostaigh with two hurdle winners over hurdles at Killarney as well, said, Shane gave the horse a lovely confident ride and he has progressed well from last year,. I didn't expect him to win today, we thought he'd run well. He's a nice horse and hopefully going forward we can have some nice days with him. Sue-Ann (Foley) will get a big kick out of that, it was a nice win and a good performance.
