Gowran Park Mon, 21st Oct, 2024  Pandion Power On fast ground he goes that pace and they can quicken by him but on that ground he can still go the same pace. He has a big engine and a big stride, and Rory rides him out very day. He’s not an easy ride but he’s reaping the benefits from him now. I thought at the top of the hill you’d better give him a breather now, but he said when the horse sensed them coming he maintained it right to the line.

Fairyhouse Sat, 12th Oct, 2024  Dame Rapide The ground was key to her today. She's been running well all year and she deserved that. She's a lovely honest mare and I think she's improving as she's getting older. Hopefully there is more to come from her and she'll jump a fence too in time. I might even look to England with her next, it depends on the ground here. Yielding ground is probably as slow as she'd want it. She did that well and hopefully the handicapper won't be too hard on me.

Downpatrick Mon, 15th Jul, 2024  Steps In The Sand I thought if she handled the track the hill finish would play to her strengths. She's a strong finisher. Very versatile, Flat or jumps. She tries which is a big thing with a horse. When you have a horse that tries, you have a big chance with one. Good ground and the stiff finish definitely helped as well. I think over further she will be better again. She'll get a rest now after that. I have five or six in Killarney this week - a few nice ones hopefully. When they are running well, we will keep them going and hopefully get another winner or two out of it.

Sligo Sun, 7th Jul, 2024  Steps In The Sand It's my first double, we've had a few chances for doubles before but they never came off, so I'm delighted to get it. I thought this trip would definitely suit her because in all her races she just seems to stay. She stays a mile and a half, mile and six on the Flat so I was confident she'd stay this trip and I think she can win again over it. She'll probably go back to the Flat again and we'll mix it with her.
