Tramore Sun, 18th Aug, 2019  Blackhillsofdakota he was gelded at the back of his Aintree run and has come back very nice for it. We chanced our luck a small bit by running him at Aintree as it was his third run in 18 days so we learned out lesson and will take it nice and handy with him now. We're going to aim for a novice hurdle after this and will go from there. JJ gave him a great ride. We were very happy with Frankincense (runner-up) and were expecting both horses to run well so we're happy out. A more galloping track would suit Frankincense more but Tramore has been a lucky place for us.

Galway Sun, 4th Aug, 2019  Mr Smith He’d a light weight and with the ground getting softer it told more. He did the right thing by letting him on and he just out galloped them really.

Galway Sat, 3rd Aug, 2019  Lancaster House He was still quite green and raw but his work at home was nice and he'll progress from that. He was a little bit slow away from the stalls but nothing around me had too much gate speed, so I was able to get him up there and, once I did, I was comfortable the whole way. He quickened up well and he put a nice bit of daylight between himself and the field. I think a mile and two furlongs will be no problem for him and after that we'll see after he steps up.

Galway Sat, 3rd Aug, 2019  Emperor Of The Sun He did it nicely. He had a good run the last day (in third at Killarney). He is still quite green, quite raw. Plenty to learn still but he has ability. He is still raw and gawky. In an ideal world you'd like to get a lead on him but if I had done that he'd have gone too slow for his own good so I had to make the running on him. He stuck at it well and he'll learn plenty from it. The second horse (Delta Dawn) had a decent run the first day and would have learned a lot from that as well and I'm sure they are smart horses.

Galway Fri, 2nd Aug, 2019  Invitation I had a good draw, she jumped and travelled and she was very fit so she kept galloping,. The plan is to get black-type and whether or not she'll be up to it we'll find out when we try it but that's the aim with her.

Galway Tue, 30th Jul, 2019  Petite Mustique I was very impressed with her. Things went really smoothly but I loved the way she picked up in the last two furlongs. I'd say she is very smart. She had the experience of the two previous runs and I was impressed by the way she picked up. She broke smart, travels very well and I like her a lot. She is not slow. She gave me a real good feel. I'm sure we will step her into Group or Listed company and find out more.

Leopardstown Thu, 25th Jul, 2019  Armory You'd be delighted with him and we'll go for the Futurity with him,. He progressing lovely, he came forward lovely from his first to his second run and you'd have to be very happy with him. He looks like a horse, that as a three-year-old, a mile would be his trip. You never know, he could stay further, but he's not short of pace. At the Curragh he was very good when he got out. We're delighted with him.

Leopardstown Thu, 25th Jul, 2019  Love She's a lovely filly and progressing, obviously,. They are really coming forward with every run. They are just progressing and she won nicely here the last day. Ryan was happy with his filly (Precious Moments), he didn't have a good draw, but he was happy with her. She has plenty of speed. Wayne was happy with his filly (So Wonderful) too and said she's still progressing. She's still a maiden as well. They'll probably all go to the Debutante and we'll what happens there.

Curragh Sat, 20th Jul, 2019  Iberia We thought they were three nice colts [Sherpa finished sixth] but they were just ready to start. They were green and babyish. Ryan was very happy with his lad, they were all very happy. The winner was green for a minute when he dropped him down but then when he got it together he picked up well. He won't have any problem going up in trip but seven (furlongs) probably won't be a problem next time as he'll be way more clued in. When he quickened he just got caught a little bit but then he got organised. The Futurity could be an option for him. Seamus (Heffernan) said that he thought the third horse felt like a very smart horse.

Leopardstown Thu, 18th Jul, 2019  Mohawk It was nice and smooth, they went a nice gallop, I got a nice slot the whole way and when I asked him to quicken up he did,. He probably got a little bit idle in front but he's a nice solid horse. They went a nice gallop and I think the leader was just starting to crack and my lad had form over further. He stuck at it well up the hill.

Killarney Wed, 17th Jul, 2019  Turnberry Isle he can be a little keen at home but the track suited and he was able to put it to bed before he came off the bridle. He is out of a top class sprinter (Rosdhu Queen) and whether he has maybe more of a sprinter's brain than body and that could be a lot of it (his temperament).

Leopardstown Thu, 11th Jul, 2019  Love she’s done it well. She was actually still a bit green and was hanging off the fence on the wrong leg for a bit. She just got lonely in front and when Colin (Keane on runner-up Soul Search) came to me she found another gear and went on. I’d say there was plenty more in there. Another furlong would suit her.

Bellewstown Wed, 3rd Jul, 2019  South Sea Pearl she doesn’t do a stroke but she stays very well. She had her ears pricked for the last two furlongs. She’d go as far as you’d want and is still learning and still raw. Hopefully she’ll learn plenty around a track like that.

Naas Wed, 26th Jun, 2019  Simply Beautiful She had good form. I think she wants further than that and wants a little bit slower ground but she was just good enough to win today,. She's a grand filly. Conditions weren't with her today but she put her head down and galloped to the line.

Clonmel Fri, 7th Jun, 2019  Treasure Chest In fairness to the horse something knocked into him at nearly every fence and he did jump a bit indifferently but he's tough in-between and stuck it out well to the line. He's hardy and hasn't run for a bit. He likes this sort of ground and will keep going over the summer.

Tipperary Tue, 4th Jun, 2019  Harpo Marx You'd be delighted with him and he'd probably want better ground and he stays well. He is progressive, wants much better ground and is a big, strong, powerful horse. He could step up in trip and could run in the Queen's Vase next. It's a 1m6f this year and he'd go straight there as he won't have much time to have another run.

Gowran Park Mon, 3rd Jun, 2019  Up Helly Aa I would rather he had run in the first race and taken the pressure off as he was the one I was expecting to win today,. The other two were bonuses, well Arabeska I thought would win also. He's a smashing colt and I'm very lucky to have him. He did everything lovely and he's still a work in progress. He's still asleep in his work and in his race there. I loved the way he quickened up there inside the last furlong or so. We'll talk to the owners and let them decide. I'd love to go to a winners race, or something like that, to give him a bit more education. He's still a baby and he won't be out quick. The next maiden wasn't till Cork and in case it was firm I said we'd come here. We'll work from here and I think we'll stick to a mile-and-two because the way he quickened up there he still has a bit of his mother's pace. He's the first foal out of Fiesolana and his sister by Dubawi, called Innervisions, will hopefully be running in the next three or four weeks. He's a gorgeous horse and it great to have horses like that in the yard. It keeps the dream alive. I had a treble in Tipperary a few years ago.

Fairyhouse Thu, 30th May, 2019  Search For A Song the first thing was to get her into stalls. We’ve done a lot of work with her but she’s claustrophobic. She’s a lovely kind tempered filly and it’s just a question of building up her confidence. That was the most difficult part as the actual race I was quite confident the result would be as is. She’s a lovely filly in the making but is still very immature. She will either go for a winners of one or a Stakes race maybe the Oaks Trial at Naas. She’s a filly with a lot of potential but she needs more experience if we are to think about the Irish Oaks. She’s even claustrophobic in the stable at home. It’s all about giving her confidence but we still have work to do and we will continue to build on that. The Oaks Trial is probably a logical next step for her. It’s only a mile and a quarter and a mile and a half will be her forte. If it all comes too soon there are plenty of good races for her later in the year. She handles that ground well and is a lovely light-actioned top of the ground filly.

Curragh Sun, 26th May, 2019  Hermosa She’s done very well from two to three. She’s really grown and strengthened a lot and I thought she was very impressive. She gave me a good feel the whole way up there and she never really felt in any danger. She’s a big filly — a very strong girl. She gave me the feel of a real high class horse. She never felt like she was going to get beat and when they do that through a race it’s usually a good sign. The plan was changed to come here rather than go to the Oaks, and then go from here to the Prix de Diane in three weeks time. I’m so delighted that we did (change plans). She’s a lovely mare and we felt that she progressed from Newmarket. I think she showed that today. She could go further and her sister (Hydrangea) got a mile and a half. We’ll see how she gets on in France before thinking about that.

Curragh Sun, 26th May, 2019  Magical We are delighted to have her as a four-year-old. She’s a big, powerful mare that is full of quality, with great strength and a super mind,. She had done enough last year to go off to stud so it’s a great credit to all the lads to keep her in training. The plan made out was the three races and then see about Ascot for the Prince Of Wales. There is an autumn campaign and she has to have a break somewhere before maybe the Irish Champion and the Arc. Hopefully she will come out of today well and then we can have a think about Ascot. It’s all stuff to dream about.

Leopardstown Sun, 12th May, 2019  Il Paradiso We're delighted with him and he stays well. He obviously gets a mile-and-a-half really well and he'll get further. He will progress a good bit and he might even get a mile-and-six. He'll be a horse that I'd say come Leger time he'll be coming into his own. He stays very well and I'd say he'll step into stakes company now. I was delighted with the second horse too.

Naas Mon, 29th Apr, 2019  Jack Yeats He had a good run the last day,. I got it fairly handy up front, myself and Billy (Billy Lee on Mackqeez), and I quickened up well and stuck at it well.

Navan Sun, 28th Apr, 2019  Blenheim Palace It has taken him a long time to get it together. Ryan thinks a mile and a quarter is fine for him. He's a big, immature baby even before and after the race today,.

Naas Sat, 13th Apr, 2019  South Pacific we like both horses. Ryan’s horse was still a bit green and Donnacha’s horse likes a lead.

Gowran Park Tue, 9th Apr, 2019  Solage She could be a very nice prospect. She was a brave buy but she's worth it now anyway,. We'll look at a stakes race for her now. She has the lot and I wouldn't think a mile-and-a-half would be a problem for her but I wouldn't rule out dropping her back in trip either. She's probably versatile ground-wise as she's a very good moving filly.
