Leopardstown Mon, 2nd Feb, 2026  Romeo Coolio They went a good gallop, the pedal never came off. They went very fast,. Our lad needs every bit of the trip, he was flat out. The mare had us at it. He made a few mistakes, but he’s very gutsy and he digs deep. He pulled up when he got to the front then and I was glad the line came when it did. It’ll be interesting to see what Jack says. I’d say Jack maybe idled a bit as well, he thought he was home and hosed. He should have kept going, but thankfully we held on. They are great lads and big supporters of Cullentra. This horse was bought to be a stayer, we’re hoping he’ll go the whole way.

Leopardstown Mon, 2nd Feb, 2026  Romeo Coolio I was on the back foot really the whole way from there. I suppose his stamina kicked in down to the last and he probably got a bit lonely in front. To be fair to the mare (Kargese), she was good and hardy to get back at him . He does (have the heart of a lion), he is very tough. I was very happy with his jumping, I thought it was a lot sharper today until the ditch down the back. I met the next one lovely and I kind of just let him at it himself, thinking he would come and he just put in another little short one. Thankfully, he got it done anyway. I suppose it is (relief) a bit when you are coming into the weekend thinking he is probably your best chance of a winner. Obviously, we had a great day yesterday, but I suppose with these good horses you just want them to get over the line. They went a good gallop, the pedal never came off. They went very fast.

Leopardstown Sun, 28th Dec, 2025  The Nagger Reidy That's great. Michael O'Sullivan deserves all the credit, he rides him out every day and does everything with him. I just do what he says!. The man on board was magic because he never travelled and never jumped. He didn't do anything right, and I don't know how he got him up. My cousin Niall Farrell bred him and sent him to me as a two-year-old, because he's so crooked he couldn't sell him. He had him for his first seven or eight runs but passed away last March. He was a great owner, and owned a lot of horses in England. If he was here today, he'd drink Guinness to beat the band. We miss him terribly. The owners come from Belmont in Offaly. They include Darragh Kenny the showjumper and another guy Hardin Towell, who is a showjumper in America. Joe Turley is a carpenter from Belmont and my wife Mary is originally from there as well. It's a pity Darragh couldn't get over for it. He's usually here every year and that's why we planned this.

Leopardstown Fri, 26th Dec, 2025  Romeo Coolio I was hoping the line was going to be further away than it was,. Jack said Kieren Buckley (on Irish Panther) was very good on his horse, he winged it and got three lengths on him and we got stuck in a pocket. The horse was very gutsy, we know he stays very well and we’ll have learned a lot from today. I said to Jack straight away that two miles is going to be too sharp for him but he said ‘don’t rule it out yet, he’ll have learned a lot from today as he was spending a bit of time in the air over his fences and was a bit slow away from them’. If we got soft ground on the first day of Cheltenham, you’d never know. The beauty I have with these owners is that we can leave everything as late as we can. We can enter him in everything and then see what we do.

Clonmel Tue, 2nd Dec, 2025  He's Gorgeous He had a lovely first run over fences and everything about this year was great but it had taken two years of nurturing him to get him to where he is now, as he never had muscle on him. Luckily enough, I had the owners who gave me the time,. He started thriving towards the end of last year and the whole plan was to go chasing, which has worked out great. He handles heavy, we know he can go on good ground and I'll have him well entered up for Christmas, where he'll probably run at Leopardstown. George (Moore) couldn't make his way over from Cardiff last night as there were floods on the motorway. I'm raging, as he is very loyal and without those lads, small trainers wouldn't survive. I couldn't survive without the likes of George and Ray Minion (joint-owner).

Fairyhouse Sun, 30th Nov, 2025  Romeo Coolio Jumped brilliant, probably could have done with even going half a stride quicker the whole way around. Travelled very well and never missed a beat. He got in tight to a couple, but it was more me trying to restrain him than anything. He's as quick as lightning (jumping), he's unbelievable. He's after growing up an awful lot. He was very keen early on in his career. He's a lot simpler to ride now. Exactly (chasing is his game). That was brilliant, he was good. We always knew chasing was going to be his game and we’re absolutely thrilled. It’s just one of those days, the horses are absolutely flying and we’re absolutely delighted. Obviously, with Cheltenham you have two or three (miles). We could also come back here at Easter or go to Aintree, there are loads of options. The one thing Jack did say is that he wouldn’t be afraid to bring him back to two (miles) off a real fast pace, the way he jumps. There is no decision that needs to be made today, we’re going to enjoy it and see what happens.

Down Royal Fri, 31st Oct, 2025  Romeo Coolio It couldn't have been more straightforward. Jack said he's one of those horses that you would love to have the last three fences in, he was that good. Jack said he was very good. I thought it was a good performance, he couldn't have done any more than he did so we are absolutely delighted. I imagine we will probably head for the Drinmore (in Fairyhouse) now. We'll enjoy today and see what happens. You have the Drinmore and you have Christmas, we'll talk to the lads and see what they want to do. They are great supporters of Cullentra.
