Punchestown Thu, 2nd May, 2019  My Sister Sarah Paul is very cool like Ruby. He has a different style of riding but gets very good results. this filly got into a good bit of trouble in Fairyhouse; she’s not the biggest in the world and got intimidated by others around her. Today Paul dragged her to the outside and once he got out there he got her balanced and racing and she jumped well enough.

Fairyhouse Tue, 23rd Apr, 2019  Ucello Conti Barry said he was only getting going. He said he felt great and he thought he would have won anyway. He's a grand fun horse and he'll probably go to Punchestown now. I'll talk to Simon (Munir) and Isaac (Souede) and see what they want to do next year but he's been a great horse and has been unlucky that he hasn't won a big handicap chase somewhere. It's nice for him to get his head in front in a few races.

Naas Sun, 24th Feb, 2019  Mon Lino he hadn’t much bottle early on, and we said we’d switch him back over hurdles at Leopardstown and were delighted with the run. Off the back of that we said that we’d go back to a fence with him. It was an ordinary enough race today once Gordon’s horse (Elliott, Kayf Thou) came out of it, and a small field suited him. He’s not simple and hopefully he’ll just get better.

Navan Sun, 17th Feb, 2019  Thatsy He's (Thatsy) a nice horse — we think a bit of him,. He's got a bit of boot — he's not slow, so we think a good bit of him. A Scottish man (K Haughey) owns him, it's our first winner for him and he's invested a few quid into the yard. It wouldn't be the biggest surprise if he had an entry in the Cheltenham bumper. He's a smart horse but we'll have to see. The second (Multifactorial) is a big galloper and is a nice horse too. He would have been a good winner if you took yer man out of it.

Navan Sun, 17th Feb, 2019  Ucello Conti Barry was very happy and he said it might have been better if he had let him stride on a little bit as he said he was breaking his stride and wasn't jumping as well as he can. We've done what we had to do and the plan now is to go straight for the Foxhunters. He's a good horse and he has good solid form.
