Naas Thu, 16th Sep, 2021  Bellabel The Girls have been very lucky here and that’s the third winner they have had at Naas. They have two horses every year and they have been very lucky.

Killarney Tue, 13th Jul, 2021  Disco Boots I always thought a lot of her, she was second in a maiden as a two year old and you could draw a line through her last run as I ran her back quick with it was her last chance to run,. We didn't have her in for the early part of the season and were waiting for ease in the ground. I texted the owner (John Heffernan) before today's race and said this is as quick as she'd want it and Declan said she got away with it. I'm delighted for John, who was a couple of years below me in school. He bred her and is only up the road from me and I'm delighted to train a winner for him. He has the whole family and I'd love to think she could get black-type somewhere along the line.

Fairyhouse Fri, 28th May, 2021  Cnodian She's in Wednesday again and we'll see how she is,. I'm delighted for Rory and Noeleen O'Toole, it's their first winner on the Flat and they bred this filly. I've had a couple of fillies before for them that weren't much too but this one has the heart of a lion. She liked that ground and I thought Nathan gave her a lovely ride. I told him to sit in and come out a bit off the rail as the better ground was out a bit and he did exactly that so I'm delighted.

Cork Fri, 7th May, 2021  Hale Bopp He was having his first run in a handicap. He has done well from the winter into the spring and now into the summer he has really filled out well. We were a little worried about the ground drying out - he wants good ground but being a big horse, didn't want it good to firm. Sam said he hit the ridges through inexperience but won going away and we'll see what the handicapper does. He'll learn a lot form that, we'll take baby steps and it's a good start.
