Galway Sun, 6th Aug, 2023  Saint Sam That was a huge performance from him over that trip the way he did it. Paul never got a chance to settle him, he just galloped and jumped the two mile and six. I thought that was way better than anything he has shown. He’s given himself a very hard race but it’s the way he likes to race. I think we’ll be looking at conditions races for him but the Kerry National is worth a lot of money. We’ll think about it and he may be entered for it.

Punchestown Sun, 11th Jun, 2023  Four Clean Aces She was very good. It wasn't the plan to make the running but no-one wanted to go on,. She won over two-and-a-half so I let her go on. The Slattery horse was annoying us all the way, sitting on my boot, so she was very good not to let that get to her. She quickened up, it's hard for a mare to win with a penalty and she's not over-big but she has an engine. She has a lovely pedigree and it's a Flat pedigree. Even though she won over two-and-a-half the first day I think she could run on the Flat in time. I don't know what the plan will be.

I think he was a bit dead in himself, he usually takes more of a tug which is why I dropped him in a bit, and he didn't really pick it up for me. The ground tonight is beautiful but he's a Saint Des Saints and I think he probably wants soft ground.

Killarney Mon, 15th May, 2023  Saint Sam He’s just so well in himself but the biggest thing I got from today was the fact that he settled so well over the first mile. Maybe the penny is beginning to drop with him. He needs to learn how to race over a trip because he’s bred to race over a trip and that’s what I want him to do. We tried it one day over hurdles at Navan and he just ran away with Paul. Fortunately, today he didn’t run away with him until after the winning post!
