Tipperary Tue, 18th Apr, 2023  Castle Field Boy He was tough and Simon was very strong on him. It wasn't an ideal way of riding him by making all, but we wanted to make sure it was a test as 2m4f is as short as he wants it on that ground. He was pretty backwards in a lot of ways and is a typical Scorpion and can be a little bit hot, but has learned and improved from race to race. This is a bonus and he'll go off on holidays now and come back chasing next season. I'm hoping there will more to come from him but, if he does, it will be over fences.

Clonmel Thu, 2nd Mar, 2023  My Design Kieren is a very good rider and got her into nice rhythm, but when you're on the inside around here it is like a rollercoaster. You're often going too fast to the second last, which can catch out horses and we were lucky. She has won a maiden hurdle (at Fairyhouse) and a beginners' chase, so will now be covered and raced for another three months. Fiona (O'Connor) likes breeding horses, she has three snippets of black-type over hurdles, so we'll look for black-type over fences now as she is related to a lot of winners.
