Wexford Fri, 11th Aug, 2023  Sarah Beara We thought she'd run well. She has improved with every run in maidens and this probably wasn't a great handicap. She is in again on Monday at Ballinrobe and we will declare her in the morning if she is alright.

Kilbeggan Mon, 19th Jun, 2023  Ranger Billy It's great for Gerry, the man who owns him, who is from Galway,. Over the winter he wasn't going on the heavier ground. We changed a few things at home and started training him outside, he seems to have turned the corner a bit now. He was running well enough in races but just wasn't getting home, over shorter trips. It seems that he's in his comfort zone over three miles. He seems to be well handicapped and should get another one of those over the summer. He's a good fun horse for the summer. Michael (O'Sullivan) gave him a great ride, sure he was the best jockey in the race and that's no disrespect to any other jockey. He got him jumping and into a great rhythm. It's great to get a win out of him. The second horse ran well there, but he seemed to be holding him the whole way. He's a fine big horse and he'll jump a fence. Obviously he wants that summer ground and he wants a trip. It took us a while to find that out but we did anyway.

Sligo Tue, 13th Jun, 2023  Ballyglass Beauty it's my first double, it's hard enough to get one winner, so I'm delighted. It's great to see the horses running consistently and to have three winners in a few days is brilliant.

Punchestown Sat, 10th Jun, 2023  Eve Moneypenny That's a nice surprise. She's always shown plenty of ability but she's a little big highly strung and never really helped herself in point-to-points. She had to be dropped out and then when she'd creep she'd miss a fence. Point-to-pointing wasn't her thing so we said we'd give her a chance. The boys at home were reasonably happy that she was going to be good enough for this and that hurdling was her job. We said we'd give her a chance instead of selling her on like a lot of ours. She was good there and to be fair you have to give the man on board plenty of credit, he gave her some ride. He made that look easy and she's not easy. I'd say the drop back in trip and going an honest gallop helped, things were a little bit simpler. Point-to-pointing is not every horse's cup of tea and she's one of those. She's getting better with racing. I think we'll keep her on the go for the summer and see what happens. We'll play it by ear. Brendan Walsh, representing
