Gowran Park Sat, 9th Mar, 2024  Whiskeywealth He was very disappointing in the Dan Moore (eighth at Fairyhouse on his penultimate start). I thought I’d got it wrong and he wasn’t good enough, but I’d say he hit a flat spot on the day,. Today was a bit lower class, but he did it well. He was in great form coming here and I was hoping he’d run a good race. He’s been very consistent, and we’re delighted to get a good pot. He was due to run in this race last year, but he scoped wrong a couple of days beforehand. He’s still improving and that was a career best over fences.

Punchestown Sun, 18th Feb, 2024  The Goffer Emma has been with me for years. She is a great girl and is one of our barn managers. It’s a brilliant race for the staff and they all work very hard. The Goffer will go for the Ultima at Cheltenham. She didn’t panic and gave him a great spin.

Punchestown Sun, 18th Feb, 2024  Where It All Began It probably looked turning in that I was going to finish third, but stamina really kicked in when we straightened up. I’m delighted with him. He’s not reliant on heavy ground, just a test of stamina is what he wants. He’d been running well and threatened to do something like that. That’s as light as I’d go (10st 5lb). He could go for the Kim Muir at Cheltenham or an Irish National. It was a good performance and he stays really well.

Naas Sat, 10th Feb, 2024  Whiskeywealth in fairness Whiskeywealth was going to do that in Thurles the day he fell. Maybe we overfaced him going for the Dan Moore (Chase) - they maybe went a half-stride too fast, but I still think he ran below par that day. I still think he’s a better horse over fences. If you look at his form last year (when falling at Fairyhouse) he jumped the last a length in front of Dinoblue. Maybe she’d have beaten him but that was savage form and I still think there is a good prize in him. He might go for the Shamrock (Handicap Chase) at Gowran (on March 9).

Thurles Sun, 17th Dec, 2023  Easy Fella He stays well and is a really nice horse. He jumps well despite making a few little mistakes down the back straight but we can work on that. He really galloped all the way to the line and anything over hurdles is a bonus as with the size and scope of him, he looks like a chaser all over. Dermot (Cunningham) and the lads sent him in to us and I'm delighted for them.
