Dundalk Fri, 5th Dec, 2025  Bucky Larson He (McGettigan) is worth his 7lb and he is local,. He has had a lot of seconds for us, so we have changed tactics and put the noseband on and up he popped today. He was just pipped on the line five weeks ago and then we ran him too soon. We freshened him up. He is (off a competitive mark), but he is a pensioner now! He's a 10-year-old coming 11. If he keeps sound, we'll come back. He loves chasing horses down, he needs a strong pace and everything worked out okay.

Dundalk Fri, 28th Nov, 2025  Arctic Steps Great ride, he just came in time! . I thought she was struggling two furlongs down. He said when he got stuck into her, she stayed on very strongly. . She won in Down Royal at 66/1 one day and lost her form then. We kind of thought she didn't stay seven (furlongs). . We put cheekpieces on her and gave her a gallop here last week and we thought she was a lot better with them. We thought they would help some bit anyway. . She probably will keep coming up for the Winter Series. . Our own lad Rory would have been riding her, only he has gone to Australia. . He has a problem out there, he can't get a licence because an international apprentice has to have 40 winners before he can get a licence out there. . He got off the plane and won a barrier trial the next day! . He likes it and it is a bit of a working holiday for him, and a bit of learning for him. . He's with Robbie Griffiths in Melbourne and he will be back in Johnny's (Murtagh) for the Flat.
