Kilbeggan Fri, 8th Sep, 2023  Typical Thomas When your luck is in, it's in. He was probably going to be third. We were just hoping that it wouldn't come too quick after Downpatrick and it looked crossing past the stable-yard that it probably had taken it's toll on him.

Kilbeggan Fri, 8th Sep, 2023  Tom McGreevy He's difficult, it's not easy to get his set-up right. He needs to go right-handed and needs a good pace,. I was a little bit worried about the mare today (Effernock Fizz) but we decided we'd leave each other alone, she just couldn't really go quick enough for him. I'm very pleased for the owner/breeder (Edward Holly) as it's a long old road for them. It's great he's got his head in front again today. Fences didn't work out for him last year so we're going to park that and go for another hurdle. We might look at the Flat with him as well as he seems to have plenty of boot.

Kilbeggan Fri, 21st Jul, 2023  Jinxs Link He settled well, I was just afraid of the ground because he was running on good ground,. He ran a blinder on the Flat at Dundalk last time, giving a lot of weight away. Dillon (Maxwell) rode him in Ballinrobe and just could not get him back. He had his race run turning in but he still ran on to finish third, which was a good run. He was unfortunate in Downpatrick, he bunny hopped the last and hung badly. He was a bit sore the next morning so he must have been feeling something. We put it down to that anyway. He might win another one of them and he has a good Flat handicap mark.

Sligo Tue, 13th Jun, 2023  Stilyker I wasn't going to complicate it and making the running was the most straightforward thing to do. He was very keen with Jack (Foley) the last day, trying to settle him in behind horses. Today we knew he was fit coming here and, on that good ground, there was no point fighting him. I just let him roll away and jump away and he enjoyed himself. He had to pull out a bit more because there were horses coming to him and, in fairness, he stuck his head down and galloped well to the line.

Roscommon Mon, 12th Jun, 2023  Rebel Rose Mark gave her a brilliant ride. My plan was to go wide but he said 'no I'm going down the inside' so I left him to it,.

Tramore Sat, 3rd Jun, 2023  Maggie Walsh She won her maiden hurdle on heavy ground and today was very good ground, so she is versatile. She was carrying condition after a bit of a break, which did her the world of good. Some people even asked me was she in-foal. That's just her build though, she is a deep girthed mare. She has a bit of quality and a bit of class. When you get a good Dylan Thomas they are real good, but when you get a bad one they are real bad. At least you know where you stand with them! . She done a lot of schooling in Johnstown on Michelle Gannon's gallop. She tanked it up that gallop a few times. She was much better doing her homework and wasn't bringing it to the track. She is bringing it to the track now though.

Tipperary Thu, 18th May, 2023  Fiveonefive He’s a nice horse that lad. His first run was behind A Dream To Share but he just lost his way. I think he’s just a big, weak horse and it took him a bit of time to get going. We treated him for a few issues and he’s come back after a good break showing plenty of ability. He likes that good ground and Denis gave him a peach. I bought him for €1,500 two years ago and he has two lovely owners Tony (Lagan) and Salvo (Giannini). He could run in the likes of Killarney and Galway over the summer.

Killarney Sun, 14th May, 2023  Mighty Tom He’s a horse with any amount of ability. He’s had a few problems, but we seem to have ironed them out now and hopefully he can keep going. We’ve changed the tactics with him and he’s more relaxed. Denis is the man for that job and gets on very well with him. It’s hard to watch but you have to let him at it. Denis said they flew which probably suited him and he was able to stay on. He has loads of pace and stays the two miles very well. I’d say we’ll go for the Galway Hurdle now. That’s my biggest win and I’m from Kerry so it’s great to get it here.
