Downpatrick Mon, 14th Jul, 2025  Diamond Tipp We were so disappointed with her runs this year in bumpers. I'm sure it was rapeseed the first day and then she ran a good bit better, but not what she could the last day, and we gastroscoped her and she had ulcers. She has had her treatment. She jumps really, really well, really quick. Her bumper form was as good as anything in the race, so if I could just get her back to that. I'm delighted with the lads, they have stuck with her. They were a bit deflated after the last couple of runs because they were really looking forward to this season. She's a good filly and always worked well, so hopefully she can go on and get another one and we'll see then.

Wexford Wed, 28th May, 2025  Strong Link It's a great local winner because I bought him off Jamie Codd, my brother-in-law. Billy, Jamie's father, bred him and my sister Robyn is here too. He is owned by a good man from Laois, John Rowney. He had winter form and he handles a bit of nice ground so it's lovely to have him. He is a nice-moving horse and he'll stay going once the ground is safe over the summer.

Killarney Mon, 12th May, 2025  That Danny Feeling It wasn't the strongest of races, but we thought he improved from last year as he had been weak. He needed all that condition today and has been pretty good since he came back into training. I bred him myself, but we're not really into breeding so moved the mare along. A friend of mine Joe Buckley got three of his friends involved to buy this horse. Denis Walsh - who writes for the Sunday Times - is involved with Donal Harnedy and Christopher Roche, who are all from Carrigtwohill. We're delighted as today was the plan.

Killarney Mon, 12th May, 2025  Gabriel Ranger I’m from west Cork so this is the place I first came racing 50 years ago with my father, so I’ve always loved it here. I’ve had horses with Joe (Murphy, winning trainer) for 15 years so we go back a long time. This horse is a homebred and Rachael (Blackmore, who retired today) won on his dam Nicaragua. today was the plan but most times it doesn’t come off. This is the horse’s level and I’m trying to switch Tadhg’s attentions to the Flat!
