Gowran Park Wed, 8th Apr, 2026  Matt Connor I’m delighted to get that. He’s on his way to Punchestown, he’s qualified for the Albert Bartlett Series. This race fitted in lovely. He has plenty of speed, Colin said he wouldn’t want it any further. He was drawn out wide and he let him find his feet. He’s gone up a good bit now (over hurdles), Keith (Donoghue) made sure to win plenty far on him! Hopefully, there is a bit more improvement in him. He’s small but he jumps great and he has a great attitude. He loves jumping. Hopefully he gives us a good day out in Punchestown. It’s a big pot for not an overly-high grade handicap, hopefully he goes there with a chance. I think he had a pelvic injury a while ago. He’s a box-walker and windsucker, so you have to manage him and get him out of the stable as much as possible. He’s called after a great footballer, Matt Connor, who was an All-Ireland footballer for Offaly but was badly injured. He was actually in Leopardstown to see him.

Limerick Sun, 22nd Mar, 2026  Something Noble I'm delighted with him and we were noticing in his work recently that while he isn't the quickest horse, if you hold him up, he has a bit of a gear. I told Eoghan to ride his own race, he knew they would go quick and I told him to take our beating if it didn't work out. He gave him a lovely confident ride for a 7lb claimer. Our horses are in good form, we liked the way he was going at home and while I didn't want to put pressure on anybody, we were just getting started today. He'll go over fences soon as he can utilise his four-year-old allowance and is a lovely big type. He is a Flat horse really but just doesn't look like one, and has now won two hurdle races.

Dundalk Wed, 28th Jan, 2026  Nowshesdancing The race wasn't run to suit her at all because they went very steady and she had to come from behind. She got checked as well too, up the straight, and lost a bit of momentum. I'd say this one is pretty decent. I know it probably wasn't the strongest race, but all she could do was win and there is going to be loads of improvement in her. She could be for sale too and she is definitely going to go down the jumping route as well. Big, strong filly and she is one to look forward to.

Naas Sun, 25th Jan, 2026  Matt Connor he’s a very small horse so Luke said he might be better riding him out wider and away from other horses the last day, so Keith did the same today. He jumped great, handled the ground well and was very good, I’m delighted with him. He had run well in Leopardstown and we thought the extra two furlongs would be no burden to him.
