Dundalk Wed, 18th Dec, 2024  Your Call Noel has been very good to me since I was an apprentice and, especially in the last couple of years, we have joined up in a good relationship. I go in there a morning a week especially now that he has gone more to the Flat than jumps. He's a gentleman to ride for and I'm very lucky to be in the position I am.

Dundalk Fri, 15th Nov, 2024  Dark Ace He's a good horse, I like this horse a lot. I bought him in Goresbridge for 40 grand at the breeze-up sales.  . He disappointed me the first day but we ran him over seven and I probably shouldn't have, it was my fault. He ran too keen and sort of half ran away that day. He fell in a hole up the straight in Naas. . Then we ran him in Navan and he ran a bit with the choke out and we just couldn't get him to settle. We did a lot of work with him and fair play to Adam and the guys at home. He has really settled down and has really manned up. . I think you could step this horse back to five (furlongs) with the pace he has. . I'm looking forward to him for next year, he is going to have a break. . He has two runs for the all-weather finals and there is a 150 grand race for three-year-olds in Newcastle, and he has one more run to get for that. We might do that with him.
