Gowran Park Thu, 22nd Jan, 2026  Marelly Tiernan was very positive and I keep telling everyone that he, Simon (Torrens), Dylan (Robinson) and all the lads at home are big assets to me and I have real men riding for me,. I told Tiernan to kick on, never take a pull and if he was travelling to leave him travel. I couldn't believe he was getting such an easy lead. He loves heavy ground which I had struggled to get with him, and I stuck blinkers on today. He is in an online auction for ThoroughBid next week and if he isn't sold, he'll go handicap chasing. He is also in at Limerick on Tuesday, so we'll see. I thought today was his day and I felt he was my best chance of the day. What a great day to get a winner again.
