Naas Sun, 22nd Feb, 2026  Star Of The Week He’s a gorgeous horse, he’s a model,. Kevin and Anna (Ross — daughter) bought him as a yearling and they couldn’t sell him in Doncaster as a three-year-old. Harold Kirk said he’d come back and buy him after he won his point-to-point but he came into us broken and (son) JD took a fancy to him. He has a good pal Jonathan Duffy and he recommended he buy him. The whole family have contributed. I’m delighted for Jonathan. He’ll have one more run and he’ll go chasing next year. You can see the way he jumps there. He’s a joy to train, never turns a hair. He was just a bit of a baby up in the north and ran a bit keen. Ricky said he was actually a bit asleep in front today. In our last nine runners I think we’ve had five seconds, three thirds and a fourth. It’s nice to get the head in front. We’ll see what mark he gets now. We’ll maybe see if there is something over Easter for him at Fairyhouse or Cork, once the ground stays soft. Two miles is fine for him and over fences that will be fine. He can work up from there. I’d like to start at two, ideally at Navan where we started Klairon (Davis), Native Upmanship and Soft Day and a few others. It’s a lovely track but that’s a long way away. Ricky gave him a lovely ride. He’s very under-rated, he got the fractions right and is a very good horseman. I’m lucky to have him riding for me.

Punchestown Mon, 26th Jan, 2026  Kobalt St Georges His mark over hurdles was tempting and he’s after coming to himself. We were disappointed for a while over hurdles, but fences seem to have changed him and he’s after getting to like the job. I thought Brendan (Keogh, owner) was coming over and I said I’d run the two of them, but the other horse (I’m Slippy) was disappointing. I was a bit concerned about the ground for this horse, but Phillip said he handled it very well. I suppose he was entitled to win off his mark once that improvement was there compared to his hurdle runs before. I’d imagine he’ll probably go back over fences.

Leopardstown Sun, 28th Dec, 2025  Teahupoo He was good. You’d be nervous looking at him halfway through a race as he always looks like he’s going as fast as he can, but that’s the way he races. He’s a good horse and the faster they went the better. He can do it every way. Years ago when you were looking at Big Buck’s and Inglis Drever, they always said they were behind the bridle the whole way and that’s the exact same way that he races. He’s a great horse and we’re lucky to have him. Jack was delighted and said he felt as good as ever. He didn’t do a lot when he got there! He pulls himself up but that’s what he is.

Leopardstown Sun, 28th Dec, 2025  Koktail Divin He was really good and we’re delighted with that. He jumped brilliant, Darragh was brilliant on him and he picked up really well. He’s had three runs so we’ll see what want to do now. Obviously the lads would love to go to Cheltenham so I’d imagine we’ll go there, and then it’s a matter of whether we’d have a run in between. The Dublin Racing Festival is a big meeting as well so we’ll see what everyone wants to do.

Leopardstown Sun, 28th Dec, 2025  Lazare De Star We knew he had improved a lot from Navan. He's a nice horse and has a nice way of going,. I think he's smart enough. I like the way he quickened off the home turn and put it to sleep fairly quick.

Fairyhouse Sun, 30th Nov, 2025  Teahupoo Jordan (Gainford on Casheldale Lad) did a wonderful job in front, he got the fractions just right. Jack said he couldn’t have gone another gear faster,. When you take a horse out of their comfort zone early in those type of races, it’s very hard. We knew we were rolling the dice coming back to two-and-a-half miles, but it just looked like the perfect starting point for him. He’s a warrior of a horse and we’re so lucky to have him. It’s great for Jack. We’re here in Fairyhouse, one of my local courses. We have a lot of friends and a lot of Meath supporters here on Meath GAA Day. It’s very important and I’m absolutely thrilled. If the ground was like it was last year, we wouldn’t have come here. He’s not a two-and-a-half miler, he’s a three mile horse — he’s slow and he’s not getting any younger. He’s got a heart like a lion and we said we’d take our chance. We wouldn’t have wanted another day's drying though. He was at the pin of his collar to go with him, even in that race. I’m getting the bounce of the ball at the moment and, another day, it will be someone else. I’ve had plenty of days where I didn’t get the bounce of the ball.

Navan Sun, 16th Nov, 2025  Kalypso'chance We were disappointed in him the last day, but I'd say just two miles was too short and a lot of ours just needed the run at that stage. I was probably trying to be clever splitting them all up in Down Royal. I was nervous of running him back so quick but, in fairness, it was the right decision. He was tough. In fairness to him, he was a different horse there today. You could see the way he was travelling with his head down, he was happy. In Down Royal, his head was in the air and he never jumped. He had good bumper form last year and probably tapered off a bit at the end of the year, but that was back to more like it today. I'd say that's it (his trip) and he could go further as well. Maybe straight to Naas because he's after having two quick runs. Like most of those Gigginstown horses, he was bought to be a big chaser. I'd say whatever he does over hurdles, it is going to be chasing down the road.

Clonmel Thu, 6th Nov, 2025  Kobalt St Georges He was bound to come on a little bit from his win the last day but I thought two miles (and-one) might catch him today,. I also didn't want to come back 14 days later but there was nothing else suitable coming up. We'll go steady now as he has run twice in 14 days and he will probably go back hurdling at some stage, although he jumps so well that he mightn't be as effective back over hurdles.
