Listowel Mon, 18th Sep, 2023  Samui I was worried about the ground, which is yielding, but he went through it better than most. I was actually very nervous about my four runners due to the rain which came. Whatever happened he choked with Jack (Kennedy, jockey) the last day at Ballinrobe but it worked out today. . I don't think he is a winter horse but is definitely a type to head to Cheltenham in November. We might then put him away as he could also run on the flat next year.

Naas Thu, 14th Sep, 2023  Military He was working like a lovely colt. We knew that was probably plenty short for him but it was to get him out and get him started. He will come forward lovely from that. You'd be very happy with him. He could maybe go to the (Group 1 Prix Jean-Luc) Lagardere. We knew he was a six/seven furlong type horse and he will be probably be a miler next year. We just needed to get him started. Dylan said he was very green, but he would have learned a lot there today.

Leopardstown Sat, 9th Sep, 2023  Tahiyra No matter how many Group Ones you're fortunate in life to win, that will always go down as a special one for us. All the pressure was on this filly, she'd won the Guineas and won at Royal Ascot. Some of the other fillies she'd beaten had fallen by the wayside, but she keeps winning. Leopardstown has been very lucky for me and the way to ride Leopardstown, like most tracks, is to just keep it simple, to ride her with confidence. We knew there would be a good pace on, they are very good fillies and it was an excellent renewal of the race, I'm sure the time is good. She's a very talented filly. She was 8-10 kilos heavier today than when she won at Royal Ascot and I was just very happy when I saw Chris cruising there on the outside. I said to just take your time and gradually get there, that's what he did. She's an amazing animal and I've a wonderful team and it's great for them. We've lots to look forward to with her. I said it was one day at a time with her and we'll see how she comes out of the race. Obviously the Breeders' Cup has to be a possibility and a decision will be made on whether she's kept in training for next year. There is lots to looks forward to.

Curragh Sun, 13th Aug, 2023  Angelic Appeal She's been threatening to do that. She's been consistent this year without winning,. We thought a lot of her last year. Early on last year we thought she was one of our best fillies but the next thing she grew and grew. It's great and she did that nicely. She has a lovely pedigree so hopefully we can win another handicap with her and then see where we go. It would be nice if she keeps progressing.

Leopardstown Thu, 13th Jul, 2023  Bellezza She’s a lovely filly and a half-sister to Tough Talk that runs in the next,. We’ve liked her from day one and you can see she is a beautiful individual. We have just decided to take our time as much as we can. I like her as much as I like any horse in the yard. When I get fillies from that owner I would always like to try and win their own race. I’m hoping she’s good enough and it’s first box ticked. That’s where we hope to end up. She got a bit lost mid-div but Colin cuddles them and lets them find their feet. It is not all about the first day, that’s only the first step where we want to go. Mine will always improve. They are never away out of the yard, never on grass until they come here today. They can get stage fright or they can win like that. Hopefully she will improve and if she does she will be a Stakes filly. She is in the Debutante which closed yesterday but I’ll be dreaming of the Moyglare for obvious reasons.
