Leopardstown Sun, 18th Oct, 2026  Truth Be Told We've been waiting and waiting. The rain we got overnight helped. He just doesn't want extremes of ground. He needed a bit of luck there for the gap to open. Billy said he was brave. He said it was only half a gap but he went through it for him and picked up well. There have been a few people trying to buy him but I've a brave owner. He was a good owner with dad for years. He's never had a real good horse so he's enjoying this fella.

Leopardstown Sat, 12th Sep, 2026  Hotazhell He's a very good horse, we didn't see the best of him last year and he has really tuned the corner this year. What a woman Jessie is! We have been having a quiet season for our standards - things just haven't been going our way and I actually thought I was done again, being honest. He's a very, very good horse and I think a proper, true run mile and a quarter race, you see the best of him. He dined at the top table all last year and he has been knocking on the door running well. Just things didn't happen for him, he was running on really firm ground last year. He has got a couple of runs on kinder ground and I'm relieved. It is hard, you are working every day - when things are really flying, and then they quieten down. Jessie still instils the confidence, doesn't tell you what to do, leaves it to you, and I'm so glad I can repay her with a Group One Champion Stakes. She has brought me to the next level. She has stood by me when I had no job and gave me her job, and we have had some really, really good winners together. She is a phenomenal woman. Kate (Harrington) is doing a lot there as well - she works really, really hard and I am so happy for them. I didn’t think he deserved to be 50/1, he’d won a Group 1 in Germany last time and came here in good form. If you look up all his form from last year, it was on ground that was too quick for him. He kept on trying, he got his conditions today and he went and did it. Shane is very strong, but the horse is very tough. H

Naas Sat, 4th Jul, 2026  Mai Dahlia She won well. She had a lovely debut here. We were a bit disappointed after Fairyhouse the last day but we felt like she was training well coming here. I'm delighted to have a nice winner for Ahmed (Aldubaili) - he bred the filly. Where she goes next we'll see but hopefully, eventually she'll end up in a black type race. She is still a work in progress. She has a nice pedigree too.

Leopardstown Thu, 18th Jun, 2026  Echo Inferno Delighted with that. He was a big, weak horse last year and, we knew he's step forward from his seasonal debut. He absolutely loved that ground and loved the step up in trip. I think he's a horse that could be a really nice stayer in the making and, even whatever he does this year, is going to be a bonus for when he even strengthens up a bit more next year. I think he could definitely be up to a stakes horse.
