Gowran Park Sat, 7th Mar, 2026  Lets Go Champ That was brilliant and I am charmed with him, he is a star. Sophie rides out two days a week with me, is a lovely girl and gave the horse a super ride,. I got the horse ten weeks ago and just does his own thing at home. I didn't know much about him and Sophie won a point-to-point on him the last day as well. Those are Sophie's first two winners for me. We might look at Aintree now where he is qualified for the Foxhunters, so we'll see what he is like tomorrow and go from there. John (Duggan) is a great new owner in the yard so I'm delighted for him.

Thurles Thu, 19th Feb, 2026  Dancing Jeremy Last season lingered on for him and I had him in for the Mayo National (late May) but he didn't run and, when he came back in, he picked up a niggly injury which set us back. Fair play to Padraig Roche (trainer) who took him and swam him for a while, which kept the wheels turning, but he was very lucky to get here today as the lorry broke down. We had to swap him over on the motorway and just got here on time. Heather (partner) was travelling with Dancing Jeremy, but her lorry broke down and it wasn't able to go over 30km per hour. Luckily, I was travelling behind with the later runners, so was able to swap and he got here just on time. We were fortunate winners, but they are there to be jumped and he has been a savage servant for us. He won a Listed race last year, and our young lad Charlie is only four but walks him around the yard and loves him. He has an attractive mark over hurdles, so we might go that way now.
