Roscommon Mon, 8th Jun, 2026  Kilkee Bay He’s a grand horse. He came from Gordon’s a while back and he’s been disappointing a couple of times. Joey said they went a real good gallop and I’d say it played to a late closer. Joey gave him a brilliant ride. They went a bit quick and I’d say conditions just fell right for him, more than anything else. There weren’t too many horses in the race gave themselves chances of winning. I wouldn’t go over-reacting but it was lovely to get it. He has been a disappointing horse, his work is okay at home. Hopefully he might get a bit of confidence and build on that now.

Listowel Sat, 30th May, 2026  Le Fanu He is consistent, the bit of juice in the ground helped him and the trip suited. Josh rode him the last day, so knows him now and I didn't have to tell him a lot today. He rides well and had ridden a winner for me previously as an amateur. Dermot and his son Richard (Walsh, owners) have been good supporters of mine and they have been patient with this horse, as he had issues on-and-off with things. He'll win again, as he has found out how to do it now.
