Ballinrobe Tue, 19th Jul, 2022  Rebel Rose She did it well and Jack gave her a great ride. She was knocking on the door and was always going to win a maiden hurdle. She has a future over fences too. We might go to Galway with her. We’ll see how she is in the morning but that's not ruled out yet. It's my first double on the track and I'm delighted to get it. I don't often have two runners, never mind two winners!

Curragh Sun, 17th Jul, 2022  Red Heel She was sick earlier in the year after her first run. I thought she worked very well the other day and I was confident enough coming today that we were going to have a big run,. We'll probably go to the fillies Listed race in Galway. I can see the handicapper giving her a few pounds for that. She handles most ground, bar heavy. She seems to be better this year, she's more settled in herself. They gave her a handy lead and it was nice to get it.

Downpatrick Wed, 13th Jul, 2022  Typical Thomas We fancied him a bit today. I think he was 100/1 last night, the boys got a few quid on him at 66s so they are happy.

Cork Fri, 8th Jul, 2022  We'llgowats she has been disappointing us all along and we thought she'd win a four year old maiden point to point first time out and Jamie Codd rode her. She had been working really but wasn't running like she was working. We are happy out with this and she second reserve, having failed to get in to a 0-95 at Sligo on Sunday. She was 31 on the ballot list and today you are going up two classes but what can you do only run. She is also due to come back into season next weekend. She will be equally good if not better over a fence. we got a phone call at 10am this morning to say she was getting a run and in fairness to Conor he gave her a great ride. I was giving out about him the whole way saying he was up the inner, which was the one place I told him not to be, but they know best!

Tramore Sun, 3rd Jul, 2022  Serpolette We were hoping for a real big run. We were hoping to run her yesterday in Bellewstown but she got balloted so we said we would come here instead. We just couldn't keep her right last year but she has been very well this year and was working really well the last couple of weeks. Eoin was unwell this morning and we had to do a change. I feel sorry for Eoin, but Jordan has rode plenty of winners for us and it was nice to be able to get him. Alan Delaney, representing

Roscommon Tue, 14th Jun, 2022  Dylan Oak I'm delighted. He's not winning out of turn as he was running good races in defeat last year and he ran a lovely race the last day with Denis O'Regan. I'm delighted for Annalise to get her first winner over hurdles and hopefully the stewards enquiry goes well.

Tramore Sat, 4th Jun, 2022  Stilyker I was happy with him and he did it nicely. We will try and just go up the grades with him. Hopefully he will get into a 0 to 102 now.

Cork Fri, 6th May, 2022  Dedillon She had three wins last year and I thought she was a bit high in the handicap but she did it well today,. She won at the Galway festival last year and we'll tip away now - she is in again at Gowran on Wednesday and will probably go. Amy Jo is with me for the last two years and that's her second winner. She gave her a lovely ride as I thought in an apprentice race, they would go too hard. She usually makes the running and I told her to take a lead.

Ballinrobe Tue, 3rd May, 2022  Tom McGreevy He got his own way in front a little bit and was able to save something for the home turn. He’s a headstrong horse who needs to be left alone in front and today they let him do his own thing. We’ve been taken on for the lead in previous races. Around a sharp track like this, being on the front end really suited. He might go back handicapping now.

Down Royal Mon, 2nd May, 2022  Drumbaragh In one way it is a shock and in another way I'm not surprised because she does show ability at home. Her biggest problem is that she didn't know how to relax. My son Jack has done a great job in that end of it. He deserves the credit. We thought we would grab the bull by the horns and try and be handy today. They went harder and she settled. The one fell over the far side and she got a handy lead then but she jumped particularly well. He gave her a young man's ride. Paddy has ridden her a fair few times and would be good friends with the owners. Before she came to me, he would have ridden her a lot of times. I'd say better ground is a help to her but just getting her to relax was probably the secret to her. We'll see what we go, we'll give her a couple of weeks to get over this. The country tracks will suit her well where she can bowl along. Jim (Carolan, owner) owns a stud in Drumbaragh beside Kells. He has bred a couple of nice horses (Aussie Valentine and Double Talkin Jive).

Gowran Park Thu, 7th Apr, 2022  Red Heel She’s improving all the time and had a hard season last year. Starting off today I thought she might need the run. She’s a tough lady and seems to be getting stronger. She had a bit of trouble going into the stalls in the past but Will Hayes has done a good job with her. We’ve learned that she runs better without the whip and Wesley gave her a fine ride.
