Down Royal Mon, 2nd May, 2022  Gallyhill We are delighted with that, he is a galloper and a big chaser. I'd imagine he will go on his holidays. It would be nice to get another one (to get to 2000 winners in Ireland and Britain).

Fairyhouse Sat, 16th Apr, 2022  Glan Mark gave her a lovely ride, it was great. That was probably her day so we'll enjoy today; . We've gotten beat in that race a couple of times over the years and we've been placed in it a good few times.

Ballinrobe Fri, 8th Apr, 2022  Fiveaftermidnight on the road I was touch and go whether I was going to keep coming as she needed rain but luckily they had a few showers before racing. Simon said there was just about enough juice in the ground for her. She was flat out for the first circuit and she wouldn’t want it any quicker. They went plenty fast enough in front and she stays really well.

Thurles Thu, 10th Feb, 2022  I Am Fortunata He is a nice horse, he won easy and Rob (James) was delighted with him. He can be a bit keen but he settled great and had the hood on to keep him that way. He travelled into it very easy and Rob said he even got there too soon. He was impressive looking at him and Gordon will chat with the owners and see what they want to do but he looks like he wouldn't be out of place in a good bumper. Ian 'Busty' Amond, representing

Punchestown Mon, 31st Jan, 2022  Classic Getaway It was a very workmanlike performance. I think the hood had the desired effect and maybe he settled too much. Whether we'll use it again or not I don't know. It certainly did what we needed it to do and I think he was just lazy in front. That ground is very deceiving, it's much more testing than it looks. Our fella had a good blow after it and I think there is plenty of improvement left in him. I'd imagine we'll be looking at two-and-a-half if not three in future. We certainly won't be coming back in trip anyway. I'd imagine he'll be put in the Ballymore and Albert Bartlett and we'll have a look nearer the time. I won't make any decision now what direction he goes but it would be one of those two I'd imagine.

Navan Sat, 22nd Jan, 2022  Routine Excellence It looked to be a fair mistake but he didn't lose a terrible lot of ground. I was standing at the last watching it on my phone,. He looked well handicapped on his hurdles form and ultimately he was. He's in on Tuesday at Down Royal but he might not get in as he's number eight in the ballot. If he comes out of that okay and he gets in he might run. I'm not sure, we'll see what the handicapper does.
