Down Royal Mon, 4th May, 2026  Alfred Wincham Marie Sullivan from Godolphin met me last February, a year ago if I'm not mistaken, and said had I time to wait for horse. She said there was a lovely wee horse that just needs a bit of time. I threw him out to the field and brought him back in. He has done a couple of lovely pieces of work. Very, very green - it was his first time on grass for me. We knew he would like the ground. I'd say when he was bred, he wasn't supposed to be that (4,000gns). Aine gave him a superb ride, she is one of the best in the business. She let them go on and cut each other's throats, and she had the horse under her. He could be going to the sales. Either that or I will put him back on the Flat, he has plenty of speed and he is very well bred as well.

Sligo Sun, 3rd May, 2026  Lady Mairen I knew she had come on from her run the last day, and I felt she wasn't harshly treated on her two-year-old form. I felt that, with a clear run around, she'd go close and I'm delighted to win this race. I won before for Robert With Rosscarbery (in 2022). I had her in the Vintage Tipple (at Gowran on Tuesday) which might have seemed like tilting at windmills before today, but I do think she's capable of getting black type at anywhere between a mile and a-quarter and a mile-six. My horses seem to be coming to hand, which is great.
