Punchestown Wed, 14th Oct, 2026  Gorgeous Tom He was brilliant and Darragh was brilliant on him. We felt it would be good to try one of these condition races after running in those big handicaps and it was lovely he went and did it. He loves that ground.

Wexford Fri, 28th Aug, 2026  Femme Magnifique We said we’d take a chance. The race she was in at Killarney (last week) was called off for unfortunate reasons and this race popped up,. You could maybe pick holes in the form of Henry’s horse (Le Coq Hardi - pulled up), that he’s maybe been unreliable at times. We were stepping up in trip. Gordon’s horse (Ma Jacks Hill) made a mistake, in fairness, but we were coming and coming. Danny said he was never overly happy throughout the race. She has gone on winter ground but I don’t know about this track for her, even though she’s won. I think she might be better on a level track. I’m delighted for the lads and delighted to have her. That’s three wins in four runs. They are a great bunch and I’m delighted to have a horse for them as it’s a good story behind the syndicate with Cian (Quirke) and all the lads.

Kilbeggan Fri, 24th Jul, 2026  In For The Night I haven't got him all that long. We ran him for the first time since Dessie (McDonogh) retired in Clonmel, and he ran well. I was a little worried about the ground tonight, I thought it might be a little quick, but all the lads said it was good and safe with a nice bit of juice in it. He handled it well. He got a great run around and jumped super. He's sweeter than he was a while ago. He's really travelling there nicely and doing everything well. Nice one to look forward to.

Wexford Wed, 22nd Jul, 2026  Ballybrittas These are very famous colours (of Hardy Eustace) and Lar Byrne is a very good owner. People obviously know that Lar is in rehab for the last number of months and he is doing very well. It will be a long while before we see Lar at the races next, but this is a fantastic boost for him and is a special winner. The horse's jumping hadn't been great over fences and had fallen down the handicap. He made one mistake today but the fact they had gone so hard gave him a chance to get back into it. It is lovely to get Josh a winner, as I'd always have been friendly with his father Mick and mum Louise.

Killarney Fri, 17th Jul, 2026  Femme Magnifique It’s fantastic. It’s great for everyone involved, Cian and everyone. It’s a great pot and the lads wanted to come here for this race. She came out of Tramore great. Today she was particularly on her toes in the parade ring; she’s a nice mare. They’ve done a great job with the ground. It’s lovely and juicy, the way you want it for every horse. You don’t want any horse breaking down. I was just delighted. It’s the Dillon Quirke foundation and there is a big story behind the syndicate. Dillon unfortunately passed away but something good comes out of everything. They are carrying on his legacy here. They are a great bunch, most of Cian’s family. It’s brilliant.
