Galway Tue, 26th Jul, 2022  Clear Quartz That's magic. Gavin was super on him and I'm delighted for Jean (Bird, owner). He's a tough horse, a genuine horse and I'm just delighted to have my first winner in Galway. I can't believe it. He had to give away the penalty the last day to No Patience and turned it around today.

Navan Sat, 9th Jul, 2022  Speedacus I told the lads 'when a horse is twice the price he should be, you should double the bet!'. He has been running in very good company and he is here in a 75 handicap. His form here is tremendous, he just loves the place. He doesn't take to some tracks. A no-nonsense ride. We put blinkers on him during the week and he just flew, we said 'wow!'. He has loads of speed. He won solidly down in class and at his favourite track. You'd like to think there is a good pot in him. He won a premier nursery here and a right good pot. We'll see what's there. He's not an over-big horse but he has got piles of speed.

Down Royal Fri, 17th Jun, 2022  Collective Power He (Sheehy) did (ride him with confidence), he's a good rider. I told him he travels well, sit with him as long as you can and come with one run. His mum (Gathering Power) was good to me, she was a good mare and his father (Slade Power) was great! He's the first foal out of that family. We've had a lot of seconds and thirds and we haven't had a winner for about six weeks. We would like to try him at six (furlongs again), his father and mother both liked six. He's a strong traveller.

Cork Wed, 8th Jun, 2022  Screen Siren That was great and I was hoping for a bit more ease but she was good there and really enjoys this place. It was a mares' race she won last year and if I could find another race here it would be great. I think it is a super sprint track and I wish they would use it a bit more often. It was close and there's no harm in a bit of competition but dad is probably giving out because I beat him!

Killarney Tue, 17th May, 2022  Clear Quartz I don't know what happened to him the last day, it was just one of those things with racing and horses and you don't know what they're thinking. He got a fright in the stalls and the stalls' handlers had to come in and help but it was just got a fright and he is in no way un-genuine. He jumped out fine today, did everything the way he usually does and won well. The rain came in time and Gavin gave him a great ride. He is a soft ground horse so we don't know how far more we can go with him and might have to wait until the ground gets soft again.

Dundalk Fri, 1st Apr, 2022  Persian Wolf He toughed it out. He had been second up here before and wasn't beaten far. Ben (Coen) said the last day he thought there was a day in him. It is nice that Trevor (Dalzell, owner) was here as he is a good supporter of ours. He seemed to travel much better in the race in the (first-time) cheekpieces. I've only seen it once but he went for a gap and there wasn't enough room and he had to pull out. We'll try him on the turf - there's a race for him next Friday here so we'll see how he is, it might be a bit soon.
