Listowel Mon, 20th Sep, 2021  Esperti He did it nicely, his first run was very good and the form worked out really well but he ran very flat when we fancied him in Galway. He came back to form today and ran a cracker. Derek rode him with loads of confidence, he dropped him in and got him switched off. He has schooled, done loads and is ready to rock n' roll on but whether or not we go for a winners' bumper or not, I'll speak to the owners (Direct Bloodstock) and make a plan.

Kilbeggan Fri, 3rd Sep, 2021  Presenting Bonnie This is a proper filly. That was a good race as Nero Rock ran a 141 horse very close the last day,. Obviously we had respect for him but we really fancied this filly as she's on a roll. She's gutsy and she's better over fences than over hurdles. There is a lot to look forward to and she'll go to Listowel for the mares novice chase now.

Ballinrobe Mon, 23rd Aug, 2021  The Dabbler He’s been knocking on the door and run some smashing races. He was a bit unlucky here in the Mayo National and had a bit of a look when he hit the front.

Ballinrobe Mon, 23rd Aug, 2021  Ballyoisin If he was a human being you would call him Paul McGrath, he’s had so many chips taken out of his knees! Ger Kelly and the crowd down in Fethard Equine have done a great job to hold him together for us.

Kilbeggan Fri, 20th Aug, 2021  Presenting Bonnie She's a good mare. She just went off form as she was in season consistently and I couldn't get her cycle right,. I knew coming here she had a serious chance. It's her third win here and she likes the place, she'll win again here.

Kilbeggan Fri, 20th Aug, 2021  Dark Spark He's a horse that is now getting stuck into the pot and eating. He just wasn't eating enough but lately he seems to have settled down. He won his bumper here so we said we'd go back and chance it. He won well. We said we'd take the 7lb off him because he was carrying a penalty and he did it well there. On his old form he was entitled to do it but there are no guarantees. He jumped great and he'll make a fine chaser in time.

Cork Mon, 2nd Aug, 2021  Misty's Gift This is a very nice horse that we think a lot of. He’ll mature a lot from the run and is only coming to himself now. He grew an awful lot and we just had to wait on him. He has a fantastic pedigree being from the family of Rock On Ruby and is owned by a great man in John O’Dwyer who also bred him.

Galway Thu, 29th Jul, 2021  Clonbury Bridge It's great and the owners are all friends of mine,. They are from Carbury and Johnstown. They are neighbouring parishes and have a great rivalry at football. They are wild men now!

Kilbeggan Sun, 6th Jun, 2021  Presenting Bonnie She’s a good mare and Danny gave her a great ride. She won her maiden here the last day. The handicapper put her up 5lb and I thought she was reasonably well handicapped. She loved that better ground and is going to be a very good mare over fences. She’s by Presenting and all that family love to rattle off the ground.

Limerick Thu, 27th May, 2021  Clonbury Bridge He had to battle and it was touch and go for a while but he kept at it. He got underneath the last a bit but was probably always doing enough. He had a few nice runs, has been consistent enough without winning and the bit of nicer ground helped. He was a bit disappointing running on the inside track here the last day but didn't finish out and maybe didn't stay. It mightn't have been that strong a race and the runner-up had never won off 90 but he won anyway.

Kilbeggan Fri, 14th May, 2021  Presenting Bonnie She is a half-sister to Ferdia and Bonarc who have both won for me in the last ten days,.
