Listowel Mon, 21st Sep, 2026  Lauderdale King He is a grand horse and is a big four-year-old. I was a bit afraid of the ground drying out, as he wants soft ground,. He gave him a lovely ride, kept it simple and he enjoyed it. I'll run him again on soft ground up until the end of the Flat season, and then give him a break for the winter. I was going to run him over hurdles earlier in the year, but he'll make a lovely novice hurdler next summer. He is owned by brothers-in-law Pat Morrissey and Rory Brennan, from Thurles, and they also have Parnell Street with me.

Cork Sun, 30th Aug, 2026  Lauderdale King He was crying out for a bit of ease in the ground so we fancied him today when we got a bit of rain,. He ran well in Leopardstown but the ground was a bit quick for him. Hopefully he'll get another one in that grade. He jumps well and he'll go over hurdles. He's a grand horse. He did what we expected today.

Goodwood Fri, 31st Jul, 2026  Shayem We don’t have to lead, but we knew Billy (Loughnane, riding Catullus) was going to go off a nice gallop and Cliff was the only one really to keep tabs on the leader,. Last year, you would have said that he was a soft ground horse but he has proven otherwise this year. We had no qualms about the ground or the track as he handled the undulations at Newmarket well. Cliff is very good with his fractions. It was a great performance and Abdulrazaq (Mohamdi, owner) will be delighted as he’s a homebred horse as well. He’s a great supporter of ours from Dubai. There is a nice race at Kentucky Downs for him in September and one at Colonial Downs as well. I don’t think they are Grade Ones but they are very valuable races and if if we don’t go there, we could come back for the Celebration Mile.
