Tramore Sun, 3rd Jul, 2022  Shantou Warrior I've had a slow start this year so it's great to get one on the board. He didn't win last year but won the year before. He is just a good, solid handicapper and is very consistent. It was his first run of the year at Roscommon. It's disappointing that the syndicate aren't here. They are an amazing syndicate who are into shooting and fishing and are friends of mine. They are very supportive and every horse I've had for them has won. I'm just sorry that none of them could come today. We will just keep at it with him now, he likes the summer ground. He had a very good rider on board today. I'm always so pleased when Darragh is available for me because he is an exceptional rider.

Wexford Wed, 25th May, 2022  Chinx Of Light he is a nice horse but still has a bit to learn and is a bit immature and novicey. He has a lot of ability though and that is the main thing. Gordon's horse (Elliott, The Bosses Oscar) probably returned to form there and it was probably a good performance to beat him. we missed a lot of time after I got him first - we were trying to get things right so I think we will keep him going now. There is not much left for him over hurdles and he should be just as good over fences but we will school him, see how he goes and then decide. If we can just harness his ability we could have a really nice horse.

Wexford Sat, 14th May, 2022  Good As Hell I'm sure the blinkers made a big difference. Going to the second last you'd say she was going to win easily but she was all out at the end. I'm just glad we held on. She had reasonable form coming into today and on her last run you'd say she was entitled to be there or thereabouts. I'm pleased to get a win for James Moran who unfortunately lost Akito a few years back and lost Even Flight last December. It's nice to get a change of luck.

Down Royal Mon, 2nd May, 2022  Chinx Of Light He's a funny sort of a horse, he's very relaxed in the stable yard. The minute he gets to hear noise he gets quite worked up. He wasn't too bad today but he still has a lot left to develop mentally, I think. If we can keep a lid on him, he showed there he has a lot of ability. He quickened up and from three out to two out was very impressive. We kind of went out on a limb to buy him and kind of had a disaster on his first day. We were patient with him to get him back. We bought him after he won his maiden hurdle and we loved him at home. We went to a Grade 3 and he never ran his race for whatever reason. We just took our time getting him right and this is a stepping stone in the right direction because he could be very good. He is well bred and has a lot of ability I'd say. He's not a very big, heavy horse so he probably goes on most ground. I'd say he had never gone as fast in his life down to two out and couldn't get his legs sorted out. We'll keep him going now and obviously he might make a lovely chaser.

Cork Thu, 24th Mar, 2022  Magical Zoe She is a nice filly and from day one, I've always liked her. She is very professional and her work was very good. The ground was borderline ok and for a four-year-old to do that is good, and she shot clear. I'd like to thank Aidan, my brother and Enda McDonagh for buying her at the sales and she will go back to the sales now.
