Gowran Park Wed, 6th Sep, 2023  Partisan Hero He’d a couple of fair runs and Mr Weld and Chris Hayes were a big help to me. They all fancied him and it worked out well.

Navan Sat, 15th Jul, 2023  Freedom Falls She travelled away well through the race, handled the ground and it’s nice to get a bracket for the filly. My initial reaction after the race was that we wouldn’t get it but when I watched the head-on I thought we’d have a chance. She’s a small filly and I feel she was intimidated and was only beaten a head. She had some good two-year-old form. The saddle slipped at Fairyhouse two starts ago and the last day the ground was too quick for her. Today everything was right.

Dundalk Wed, 12th Jul, 2023  Rocky Dreams If they want to pay me to go away (just back from holidays), I don't mind watching on the tele!. He is brilliant around here. To be fair, the lads had said while I was away that he was absolutely tanking. Some days you just go through the motions with him, but he has been tipping away and has been flying, so it didn't shock us at all that he won. He is just different up here, I don't know why but he just doesn't go on grass. If he isn't taken, we will have a bit of fun during the winter. He has done his job for us and is not always the soundest like most of mine. He is no worse than the rest of them. If someone wants to have a go with him, they will have a go with him. He's a grand horse and the other horse (third-placed Is That Love) ran well on his first run for us - I think Shane (Foley) thought he just hit the front a bit too soon on him. It is a learning curve with them. Prize money gives me a bit of room to go shopping, I'll have to have a look back and see if we can take anything!

Curragh Sat, 27th May, 2023  Betterdaysrcoming I asked the boys for a dead-heat and we very nearly got it!. The winner did well, he had a good run last week and needs that good ground. He had a long layoff between his first run, on heavy ground, and then last week's run at Naas so we thought he would improve and he has. He was staying on well to the line. We'll think of the Britannia at Ascot for him.

Gowran Park Tue, 23rd May, 2023  Bringsty It's brilliant to get. It's well known now that we have rapeseed growing beside us so they are struggling away,. At Punchestown one bled and I'd say one of them probably bled there as well. We're not running anywhere as many as we normally do and it's just trial and error. We put a salt therapy machine in the yard and I'd say that's helping some of the horses. We're coming out the other end, we can see it dying off and I'd say in another month it will be gone. To be able to tip away with the odd winner between now and then is grand.

Roscommon Mon, 22nd May, 2023  Zero Fighter I thought he was beat but he was coming home and the lad on the outside always has the advantage here,. He is what he is, obviously he's better over a mile the way he stayed on there. He belongs to a bunch of trainers, Gordon (Elliott), Denis Murphy, Colin Bowe, Noel Meade, Joey Logan and Peter Nolan. That's who the (DCJGPN) syndicate is. We have five and that's the first one that's won, they were supposed to be gone as two-year-olds!. If he's not claimed we'll go for a handicap. We went too far with him last time and he's still unexposed.
