Curragh Fri, 3rd Apr, 2026  Staysound Susie out horses are fit and well and often you’d look at the program book but there wouldn’t be the right races for your horses. It has all fallen right as there are races for my horses who go on the ground and that’s basically it. They have been running well, are all in good form but the races are there for them. Staysound Susie loved that trip and had finished third over five (furlongs) here recently, which is too short. She was in the Listed race in Cork tomorrow but I said to the lads that she might only finish fifth or sixth in that but that she had a chance of winning a 30 grand pot here. We’ll try and nick a bit of black-type with her as she’s going in foal this year because she’s starting to resent the stalls and things like that. She loves that ground, six furlongs and by putting her in foal, it might improve her a bit over the coming weeks. My other filly (fourth-placed Bint Majestic Roi) ran a cracker. She was the sleeper that I had in the pack, who was starting to work very well over sprint trips. She’s not bred for it, she’s bred to be a mile-and-a-half or mile-and-a-quarter filly but she’s just been working well. Andrew (jockey son) got off her and said he thought she’d make a good sprinter.

Dundalk Fri, 30th Jan, 2026  Genoah that was a class ride and was as good a ride as I have seen Leigh give one - it was perfect. He just got up on the line, what more can you say. It wasn't a straightforward race and it was a messy. They jumped and went along early and then they steadied it up. this horse was the last Flat winner of the year in 2025 and now he's our first of ‘26. We never really had a doubt that he would get today’s (1m4f) trip but it now gives us more options. We actually feel with the way he hit the line there that we might even step him up further. He might get a little freshen up now and we'll bring him back for a bit of nice ground in the summer. I'm sure Justin (O'Hanlon, race planner) has a little bit of a plan and we'll sit down and chat about that.
