Curragh Mon, 4th May, 2026  Velozee Billy thinks six furlongs will be no issue to her, so we might look at maybe the Albany. She could go back to Naas in a couple of weeks and, run again,. She is a strong filly. She has had one bit of work since she won in Cork. She's uncomplicated and, I think she's good.

Limerick Sat, 25th Apr, 2026  Chablis Rock She handled the ground well and while she is by Sioux Nation, she stays well. She is a big, slow-strider and Decky kept it simple and she won well. It was only a middle-of-the-road maiden but she now has a winning bracket. You'd love to find blacktype at some stage with her but we'll go for a handicap now. She has the size and scope to improve.

Gowran Park Wed, 22nd Apr, 2026  City Of Memphis She had a setback as a two-year-old and I was keen not to over-race her last year,. She is a nice filly and this was a perfect race for her. All of mine are a bit 'short' this year and she is a bit rusty. Alan (O'Flynn) buys these fillies to race, breed or sell, or whatever and the idea would be to win a group race. He gave a good price for her at the breeze-ups and she is a talented filly. She has the ability to do so. She is with us two years and I have ran her twice but we'll see how she is and I won't rush her. The Ridgewood Pearl Stakes (Group 2, Curragh in May) would be a very good race for her. We're hopeful she will have a very good season.

Leopardstown Wed, 15th Apr, 2026  Mixed Feelings She obviously had a good run last year, so you’d hope that she’d come here and be hard to beat, but you don’t see them pull lengths away from the field like that very often. I thought it was an impressive win and she looks like a nice filly. We could jump into a Guineas trial but she did still look a bit green there, so we might look at having another run somewhere before we go into a Group race. We’ll see how she pulls out and then can decide, but she’s a nice filly for the future. She coped with that going, but Joey said she’d be better on better ground. I’d say she’ll be versatile.

Cork Sat, 4th Apr, 2026  Velozee She is a nice filly who was ready to start today. I think if she won, that she is nice and she has done that. I didn't think about the ground and it is the same for all of them, who were having their first runs. She has won her maiden on debut and the First Flier (Curragh, early May) is an obvious race in a month's time.
