Leopardstown Wed, 9th Apr, 2025  Alakazi Alakazi has been going very well at home and his work companion ran very well yesterday: we probably have a couple of nice three-year-olds colts this year. I ran him last year just to get experience into him but was a bit disappointed leaving because I thought he was nice. Maybe it was a bit much for him first time out on heavy ground. It was interesting to see how he behaved today with the Student Day and the good buzz around the place, but he took it all really well. We’ll stick him up into a Stakes race the next time and see what he’s made of.

Navan Tue, 8th Apr, 2025  Step Back In Time She travelled really well and Colin said she was in her comfort zone all the way. She had slipped down to a very competitive mark and it is good for her confidence to get her head in front. She has won and been placed here before. We always thought she would probably do better than she has done so far, but last year just didn't go to plan. She came back to us this year looking great and we have been very happy with her. I think the ground was just too soft for her in Naas the last time, but she appreciated the better ground here today. I think that is Colin's fifth winner for us - he is going for the championship, so we don't like to cost him winners! We try and give him a few if we can.
