Kilbeggan Thu, 21st Apr, 2022  Huntingtown I'm delighted. Dermot O'Rourke was one of my first owners not long after I started training back in 1972. It's lovely to have him back as an owner in the yard,. He kindly bought this horse as a three-year-old. Today was his first handicap and I think the cheek-pieces made quite a big difference to him. It was probably a weak race. He's by Presenting and the better ground would suit him as well. I'll discuss things with the owner now and we'll see, he'll probably run again.

Cork Mon, 18th Apr, 2022  Its On The Line that secures Charlie the series so it was great to be able to help him pull that off. He was a recent purchase and we bought him online at the ThoroughBid Sale (for £8,000 last month) and it was good to get a quick return. He was a Presenting and I felt he may have been waiting for good ground in the spring. He has a great step to him, covers a lot of ground when he is walking and has a real staying pedigree. He just needed to get a bit of confidence and I'd say the better ground will be a big help to him. He will keep going in these hunter chases for the next few months.

Clonmel Thu, 14th Apr, 2022  Shanbally Kid I'm delighted with him and it was a lovely performance. A lot of the credit goes to Colm Ryan who works with me and does a lot of the breaking and pre-training. Colm really built the horse up after a break and he came to me three weeks ago and has been terrific since. It was a smashing performance and if you look back at his Thurles run, he was green and got tired but did show a little bit. He has only came to himself and blossomed since. You'd like to think somebody will come for him. John and Dan (Hayes, owners) are local to us and I'd be astonished if they keep him long-term - maybe one of the top three boys (trainers) might come and buy him. Eoin O'Brien gave him a brilliant ride and is a real sure pair of hands.

Thurles Sat, 19th Mar, 2022  Presenting Point it was a long time between drinks, as they say. He was unlucky here before Christmas when he was chinned on the line and Darragh gave him a savage ride today, as I thought he was beaten several times. He likes Thurles and we'll keep him to this grade. The syndicate are all Ballyclough lads.

Leopardstown Sun, 6th Mar, 2022  Ballykeel he had a nice run the first day and we thought he'd come on a nice bit from it.

Punchestown Sun, 16th Jan, 2022  John Adams that’s my first winner and my first ride over fences. I ride out three days a week with Henry de Bromhead and three days with Colin Bowe. That was unreal. I thought it would never come and you always have that doubt in the back of your mind. I tried to jump off in front and ended up second or third. Coming down the hill he started to run away again and I knew he was in my hands then. I knew I had him where I wanted.
