Cork Fri, 23rd Jul, 2021  Frenetic The wheels are definitely back on the bus. She ran first time out here this year and the ground came up soft but we thought we'd run her to take the freshness off but as we know in hindsight, it was totally the wrong thing to do. We brought her home and said we'd wait for high-summer when we're not guessing with the ground. It is a fair ask carrying 10st against older horses and was a Group performance. Her work has been telling us she could run in a handicap. We're absolutely chuffed and she's in all the early closing races - the Flying Five and races like that.

Navan Sat, 10th Jul, 2021  Geocentric We don't really like running them back too soon but she would have been working today and it was a local track. She did it well, she had to do it on her own. We'll bring her back home now, give her a bit of time, and we won't rush her. She's a filly that will get six furlongs and will get a bit of easier ground as well. She's done her job, she got a good lead there and Colin was very happy with her. She has a good page and getting some black-type would obviously be the plan.

Fairyhouse Wed, 7th Jul, 2021  Pennine Hills Dec (McDonogh) said she was still a bit green in front and would improve a lot. I loved the way she put her head down and really lengthened. You don’t know what the race is going to turn out like but I think she might be smart. She couldn’t have done any more than she did. I know she won her Barrier Trial but it’s her first time on grass and making all. He said she hit the gates so well and was able to get across onto the rail. She’s a lovely relaxed filly and doesn’t have to do it that way. It’s just the way it worked out and she was very professional.

Naas Wed, 23rd Jun, 2021  Hamwood Flier she was due that, she had a nice run in Listowel and probably just needed it as she hadn't run in a while. She was taking on the boys today but we were keen to come back to seven rather than stick with the fillies over a mile and it's worked out. I had the draw, and the fancied ones were wide, so I went forward. If something wanted to go on I was going to let them. I was a passenger on her early as she was well lit up after giving her the kick but she stayed going well.

Sligo Tue, 15th Jun, 2021  Kodiqueen she won here as a three-year-old so we were looking for a race that we could bring her back for. We were a bit unsure about the flag start, whether with cheekpieces and a tongue-tie, she would jump off on terms. The plan was to be very positive on her and in fairness to Gary, they were going to cut each other’s throats in front and he took a little pull and he followed them around. She kind of won the same way here as a three-year-old, so it worked out great. We’ll go for something similar, that’s her grade.

Gowran Park Mon, 14th Jun, 2021  Zola Sakura She has improved mentally this season, it has taken her time. She's a very nice filly and got that trip lovely, stepping up today. She loved the ground and she battled for Colin. There should be improvement to come with time, mentally as well. It just took her from two to three to winter well and she's done that. It's job done as she has a nice page and we'll see what there is now and see how she improves. She's rated 72 and I think she's a handicapper at the minute anyway so we'll go with that.

Fairyhouse Fri, 28th May, 2021  Aurora Eclipse This filly was a very good filly and to be honest she's only here because she is Queen Carriage's lead horse,. She's the only one that can lead her and is probably actually a better work horse than her. This was definitely her last chance today. She was down to a good mark but she's been down to a winnable mark for a long time and I don't know what happened today. The soft ground maybe made a difference but even the race didn't go right for her and she still won. I'm gobsmacked that she won to be honest. We know what she can do at home but she's never done it on the track for me. She was decent for Michael O'Callaghan.

Curragh Sat, 17th Apr, 2021  Glounthaune He’s a nice horse and we’ve always liked him. He’ll go for a winners’ race now and then maybe look at Ascot,. He gets six well and looks like he’ll get seven.
