Curragh Sun, 16th Aug, 2026  Fighting Tears She’s a very nice filly, we like her. She’s shown us plenty of ability at home,. We don’t over-prep them first time out, they usually come on. They usually take a blow and need the experience but we were kind of hopeful something like that might happen on what she was showing us at home. Ronan gave her a lovely ride. She loved the ground and was very straightforward. It’s nice to see. The Round Tower could be a possibility, we’ve made no firm plans and we’ll see what else is available. She hit the line strongly; she apparently took a blow at the furlong pole and then hit the line fairly well. I wouldn’t be afraid of stepping her up but I don’t think I need to right away. It gives us a few options.

Bellewstown Fri, 3rd Jul, 2026  Full Volume Full Volume is a little bit of a brat, he's a bit hot and got very upset in the stalls in Down Royal. Had to be removed so he had run his race before he ever got there, but today he was very good. In the parade ring he was really good and didn't sweat up at all, but as soon as he (Foley) got on him, he started sweating and got a bit upset. He's a proper miler and will probably go further. He is a nice horse and got a lovely tow into the race so everything went right. He quickened up well and eased down. I hope he has a future as we thought he was a nice horse prior to Down Royal. We will go baby steps with him. I love Bellewstown, it is a great track. What they have done here in the last few years is amazing.

Gowran Park Wed, 20th May, 2026  Rolltight We were pretty confident coming here. He had a very good run the first day. We thought he'd be a bit more streetwise today. Ben said quickening down into the straight he got a little bit unbalanced, but he always thought he had the second, and they were a good bit clear of the third. He's in the big race, the Classic (at Gowran on June 1). We'll see how he is. Maybe a little close but if he comes out of it well and, I'll speak to the owners, that might be his next shot.
