Kilbeggan Fri, 19th Aug, 2022  Rotten Row He likes good ground and that's why we pulled him out again so quick,. We loved to think we'd go to Listowel but if it's soft ground he doesn't handle it. We'll pick somewhere again in about two weeks time and then he'll go chasing. He's a lovely well made horse and the O'Byrnes are into national hunt racing all their lives. Roddy, that owns him, would love to have a chaser and so would I. I told Danny going out that Roddy is one of the old type owners and that he'd let you ride him your way, don't be panicking about having to be up there or anything. I said you ride him the way you see fit and Roddy will agree with that, that's what he did. Things went wrong in Limerick and that's why he was 25/1 in Tramore. He hit into himself coming down the hill in Limerick and it ruined his stride. Danny thought he had gone lame and went to pull him up. I don't mind he was 25/1 then but I just cannot believe he was 7/1 today. On my reading of the book all he had to do was what he did last week.

Killarney Fri, 19th Aug, 2022  Rexem he is a lovely horse, we've liked him a lot but it has taken a couple of runs to figure him out. He is a real stayer but can quicken off a good gallop and is sharp. He jumps great, is always there when you need him and has done everything we've asked him to do. I'm very excited to see how far he progresses as he has done everything at his ease. He won his point-to-point on nice ground and I'd say he wants nice ground — it is getting into it out there and I wouldn't like to see it any softer.

Tramore Thu, 11th Aug, 2022  He's Leading Me On It was overdue but that doesn't make it any easier to win. I'd say he was crying out for that step-up in trip. He got a good ride from Conor who was strong on him.
