Leopardstown Sun, 30th Mar, 2025  Brains He gets his turn every so often and is a prolific winner in the past. He’s a nine-year-old now and there is still life in him. We’ll go on for the summer with him and I’m delighted for Paul (Sweeney, owner) who is a gentleman to train for. It’s a nice day to get a winner and he could come back as he seems to like it around here. He’s a real pet of a horse and he was swinging there with Shane and really loving it. He’s still enjoying life even after all the miles that he’s put up over the years.

Dundalk Fri, 20th Dec, 2024  Shoot To Kill we left tactics up to Jack (Kearney), he used his head and gave him a brilliant ride. It was probably one of the first nights that the horse has been dropped in. It was an upgrade in the performance considering we were a couple wide off the rail and had a significantly bad draw around here. If they go good and quick over the seven-furlong trip, you can get into it. It worked out perfect for him. Hopefully, that will give him a bit of confidence now and we will mix it between the claimers and the handicaps. He's a grand fun horse for the lads (Shamrock Thoroughbreds). We've had him nearly 12 months now and it took us a while to get things right with him because he is not a simple ride. We will rock on through the winter and find something suitable in January. I'm after using the young lad (Kearney) a couple of times and I'm quite impressed by him. He will be another kid that we will kind of support into the new year. He has kind of been mixing it on both codes, but the lads have highly recommended him and I'll be using him plenty throughout the winter months.
