Kilbeggan Mon, 16th Jun, 2025  Anyway He jumped well, travelled well, and he was entitled to win it. It’s grand to get a win into him over fences. He wouldn’t want it heavy, but soft or yielding is grand. He’s actually very good on real fast ground. He was never over faced and is learning to get quicker and quicker. Cheltenham made a man of him - the speed and the fences coming up quick. I’m not sure what the plans are, but I’d imagine he’ll get an entry in the Galway Plate.

Downpatrick Sun, 15th Jun, 2025  Liadawn Fantastic sire, it's a brilliant pedigree. John O'Connor (breeder) and his sisters, particularly Anne, do a wonderful job with it and we've had a lot of success with it. I've won on the dam, I've won on the sister and I've won on the aunt, and they have all been great. I think we will try and have a crack at black-type in a bumper, possibly Gowran or maybe Cheltenham in November. Then black-type over hurdles, I think she is up to that class.

Clonmel Thu, 15th May, 2025  Belle The Tigress It has been a brilliant day and I'm delighted for Michelle (Doyle) and Sean (Barton) who own her. She was really good, jumped the few hurdles really well and I thought Darragh gave her a super ride. She is still a bit of a baby to be honest, and will improve plenty for that. We'll keep her going, good ground definitely helps her and I'd say she will stay a trip in time. She is a lovely scopey mare.

Cheltenham Wed, 12th Mar, 2025  Bambino Fever I got a perfect position and I couldn’t believe it when I jumped off and got where I wanted to be, it normally doesn’t happen in that race. She always keeps trying and has a heart of gold and this is a special place for me now anyway. I’ve been dreaming of this since I was a child and have grown up watching Paul ride winners round here, but it’s my turn to be happy now. She had two runs and was very good both times and everyone was very keen to leave Jody on her, which was a great decision. She gave her a fabulous ride, she was in the right position at all stages and has a clock in her head. I didn’t say anything to her, I always leave her to ride her own races. Patrick couldn’t do the weight so was always going to ride Copacabana and connections were always happy to have Jody. I’m delighted for Jody. Tim Townend her father was here and of course Paul, her brother was. She’s been a surprise package, but is now unbeaten in three runs.
