Killarney Mon, 13th Jul, 2026  Molto Amichi It’s more of a relief than anything else. It’s been a while coming and unfortunately horses like him tend to get a reputation maybe for being ungenuine and it wouldn’t be well deserved in his case. He’s been second five times and third and fourth another four times, I think. We were just wondering if it was ever going to happen. We’ve employed a little bit more positive tactics with him. We did in Leopardstown the last day but he just hit a soft patch of ground about half-a-furlong from home and it stopped him in his tracks. The ground was beautiful here today and he did it handy enough in the end.

Curragh Mon, 4th May, 2026  Summer Island He was in good form coming here and, he came out of his Bellewstown race very well. The ground was probably a little bit soft for him the last day, good ground here today suited him better. Paddy gave him a nice even ride, very straightforward. He picked up nicely and,galloped to the line. Hopefully, he'll be consistent in his grade, or even if he goes up a little bit, he'll still be consistent throughout the season for the owners.

Curragh Sun, 19th Apr, 2026  Merisi Diamond The three weeks probably just freshened him up. We ran him back three times quickly enough because we were afraid the ground might go on him. He did a nice piece of work during the week. Billy said the cheekpieces helped him in the middle of the race. He’s probably getting a little bit cuter with age. He’s a good steady handicapper and you’d be hoping there might be another good pot in him someday. It’ll be ground dependent. Today was the plan, we’ve nothing else in the calendar and we’ll see what the weather does. If it gets better he might go on a little break. Joanna (Morgan) gave me the chance with the horse. She got hurt earlier in the year and rang me to go collect him in the field. It’s brilliant because if I have any problems I give her a bell and there is great knowledge from her. I have to thank her for giving me the chance with him.
