Gowran Park Wed, 16th Aug, 2023  Slamadoor Her two runs this year had been okay. She got into a bit of trouble up the straight in Leopardstown the last day which cost her some momentum. She got a lovely clear run today. The plan wasn’t to make it, but she jumped out and they weren’t going that hard so Leigh took the initiative and she braved it out very strong for him. We were aware that they were winning from the front and up the far rail so I said to Leigh to make his challenge where the rail breaks away and go up the inside, but he didn’t have to and had first run. It worked out great for him. She’s an honest little filly and has her grade. She jumps hurdles well, so there is the possibility that we might go hurdling with her.

Cork Fri, 16th Jun, 2023  Chica Power We went to Listowel the last day, rode her aggressively as we had a poor draw and got a good position but she didn't get home. Seven (furlongs) is her trip and we were pretty hopeful as Dylan (Browne McMonagle) liked her the last day. He is at Fairyhouse but we got a very good deputy in Billy. He said she travelled well, picked up when he wanted to and was straightforward enough.

Navan Sun, 11th Jun, 2023  Collective Power It was (a fair effort under 10st2lb), but he had dropped him a few pound and he was in a lower grade. They went very fast, but he did it well in the end. He climbed the hill well. He's not a good horse, but he's not a bad horse! He runs his race time and time again. I remember three or four runs back and he was second in Dundalk. I went in for a cup of tea and this punter came in and said 'that horse of yours is only a dog'. He was second to Tawaazon and trying to give it weight!. What you see is what you get, always there or thereabouts. Sarah had a nice winner of the previous race (Screen Siren).

Navan Sun, 11th Jun, 2023  Screen Siren The jockeys were all saying it was very dead on the far rail. so I just said 'can we come over this side?'. When they jumped out, I thought I had perhaps overcomplicated my instructions, but he (Chris Hayes) did it to a tee. Screeny was very good as well, she was coming there well. It's great because Trevor (Dalzell, owner) is here today and he hasn't been there for her other wins. I'm delighted. She ran so well the last day and the form was working out well. She is actually the only one I have to run at the minute, so the pressure was on! I have a very small string this year.

Gowran Park Wed, 10th May, 2023  A Shin Undine She’s a lovely filly and I really loved the way she stuck her neck down there. It was a very close call. Her last run was great and I was hoping she would step forward from that. I haven’t done much with her since then as she is lean, narrow and doesn’t take an awful lot of work. It’s just a matter of keeping her sweet. The (Never Give Up) syndicate are relatives of Mark Enright so I’m glad that he rode her today. They own Molly’s Gamble as well and they have had great fun with her and they should have fun with this one as well.
