Dundalk Fri, 10th Apr, 2026  Celtic Druid The breed improve with age. I had Lady Scathach who didn't do anything until she was a four and five-year-old and she won five for us. They just seem to need time. It wasn't the plan to be that far back - we just got swallowed up from the outside, but she gave him a very cool ride after that. He did it very well, quickened up fierce well. He had been working out of his skin, and I would have been disappointed if he wasn't thereabouts. He improved since his last run. If there is something that suits here (in April or May), we'll use it, but he has form on grass as well. He's improving away. The winter has been great for Sadhbh, she has got great experience up here. She is apprenticed to me and with me the whole time. I put her up on as much as I could and it is standing to her - she is getting the whole feel of it.

Dundalk Fri, 9th Jan, 2026  Voice Of Reason He is a good horse, he loves it. He did keep finding. With the new jockey today, first time he had sat up on him - we had to talk him through it!. I was wondering was he after going fast enough. He was headed, but he stays real well. Two miles stretches him a little bit. There's a burst of speed and energy in him, but only for so long. There's a two-mile qualified-riders' race down the road. If we run him over two miles again, we'd probably ride him slightly different. Out in front, two miles, he's not a real galloper. They came up behind him the last day and they drove him on. He has some constitution, I've never seen him come off his feed.

Leopardstown Sat, 27th Dec, 2025  Hardy Stuff We fancied him in one of those Academy Hurdles early on and he ran out at the first bend. He’d a good run the last day when we dropped him in to get him settled and he flew home. They went a good gallop which suited him well and he came home strong. He could be one for the Fred Winter at Cheltenham.
