Curragh Mon, 6th May, 2019  Shelir He did it very nicely and is still a horse with plenty to learn about racing. I was always confident over the last furlong that he was going to get there. He'll obviously appreciate a mile which he won over in Navan, and the logical thing is to come back here later this month for the Irish 2,000 Guineas. He was a little bit keen in the early part of the race and then settled. It's just his second start, and most of the other horses had a lot more experience than he had. He's a work in progress and I think there is a nice bit more to come from this horse. I purposely ran him over seven today just to see would he have the pace for a Guineas, and you saw there that he does and is entitled to run in the Irish Guineas and represent us well. He could well be a mile and a quarter horse in time.

Cork Sat, 20th Apr, 2019  Opening Verse We have always been very fond of this fellow. We were disappointed with him the first day and thought he'd be in the first three but he missed the break. He is very fast and I'd say he'll get better with better ground and he could be anything,. We'll probably hold on to him for a while as we bred him and want to do best for the mare. His half-brother was third in the Qatar Derby and he is from a fast family. We will see what the handicapper does but might go for a black-type race straightaway with him.

Cork Sat, 20th Apr, 2019  Decrypt He is a nice horse and I had this race in mind from a long way back. I was looking for it in the calendar and last year it was a furlong further and I was only ever going to come here,. I did expect him to do that and he is a horse who physically got stronger and bigger in himself and I didn't feel it was the right thing to do last year by running him again (after his maiden win). He has length and strength and I asked Billy (Lee) and he said he would get a mile no problem. We'll see what we'll do and I have an idea in my head what to do with him but I wouldn't be frightened with the idea of running him in the Guineas; he definitely wouldn't run before the Guineas.

Leopardstown Wed, 3rd Apr, 2019  Titanium Sky it's been a great evening, a lovely four-timer, it's like old times!. I've had a couple of five timers here but four-timers are always appreciated as things are a bit tougher nowadays. he (Orr) gave her a lovely ride. It was in someways a messy race but he took his time, got a nice run through, and she did it well. I'd say another furlong would be well within her compass. I would expect to be able to get some black-type with her during the year. I thought she quickened up very nicely. They were all very well ridden, both jockeys (Chris Hayes and Oisin Orr) rode very very well.

Navan Sat, 30th Mar, 2019  Shelir He's a nice colt and has been working well at home. The false start just lit him up a bit more than I would have liked, and he was a little bit keener than Chris wanted in the early part of the race so he'll learn a lot from that. We'll bring him back a furlong for the Tetrarch (Curragh May 6th). He has a lot of pace.
