Roscommon Mon, 11th May, 2026  Sun Soldier He probably needed the run the first time. He’s a consistent horse and always tends to show up. He had a nice run first time. Credit to them today, it’s beautiful ground, and Billy kept it very straightforward. He did it nicely and it worked out ideal. He had a nice draw and was in a nice position the whole way around.

Curragh Fri, 3rd Apr, 2026  Lars Soldier Lars Soldier ran well here the last day. I told Wesley (Joyce, winning jockey) going out to keep him fairly forward as he had a bit more experience than the other horses and I think that’s what won it. The other horse (Confucius) was very green and the penny didn’t drop until late on. It’s nice to win a Curragh maiden as a two-year-old at the start of the season. I don’t know where we’ll go from here. If some lad comes with a big cheque this fella (brother Laurence, winning owner) might sell him! He’s a good honest little horse.

Dundalk Fri, 23rd Jan, 2026  Soldier's Tree This is like a dream really! You couldn't write it, could you?. She rode her first winner for us, and we are trying to get her going. She's my granddaughter, so you do your best for your own family. He's out of Maontri who won four Friday nights here (in 2014). She went from 59 to 98. She got a bit of an injury after that. That's the way she used to run. She used to have a green hood on her, and you'd see the green hood heading off in front. We said we would do the same thing with him - jump out, hope for the best, and we knew he would stay going. We think he is a good horse, and this is the icing on the cake for your granddaughter to ride a winner. I see no problem (on turf). We might get him in a big race off a light weight, and Orla could ride him. That's what we have in mind as Orla can ride off bottom-weight. We'll enjoy tonight!
