Punchestown Sun, 16th Jan, 2022  Bob Olinger he was really good and Rachael was really happy with him. He jumped great and it was a class race. He’d come on a hell of a lot since Gowran and I think the experience he got there has really stood to him. The second (Capodann) is obviously a good horse and the pair of them have pulled clear. Thankfully our man kept going. The Dublin Racing Festival is the plan subject to ground - there would want to be a good ease in the ground. It seems our best option. It’s three weeks and I think that’s the plan at the moment. He’s got a lot of class and a great attitude.

Limerick Wed, 29th Dec, 2021  Big Debates It looked competitive on paper but he did it well. They went a good gallop and he left them at it. He joined them nicely and always looked in control. He got under the last a small bit but he picked up again. He’s been consistent and he’ll probably go back over fences again. We’ll see what’s suitable for him.

Gowran Park Sat, 20th Nov, 2021  Bob Olinger it was some experience. He jumped brilliant, travelled great and it's as good a feeling as I've ever got on the racetrack. It was unreal. He has a serious engine and it was just a privilege to get the ride on him. If you want to be critical of him I suppose you could say that but it's his first run over fences and these take plenty of jumping but overall I thought his jumping was very good and he'll come on plenty from today as well. He has the scope and he won a point-to-point for Pat Doyle. Today was just about getting around, we know he has the engine.

Punchestown Sun, 14th Nov, 2021  Mr Fred Rogers He’s a grand honest horse. He stays well and I like the way he put his head out. You’d say off the home turn he would be third but in fairness he stayed galloping well. Willie Murphy won a bumper with this horse and recommended the lads to send him to me so a big thanks to him. They are from Carlow.

Cork Sun, 17th Oct, 2021  Sweet Street she was homebred and is owned by my father-in-law (John Motherway) and is improving a little every day. It was a pity she missed getting black-type at Limerick the last day but we might have another shot at it somewhere. She is versatile ground-wise but her secret is she needs a trip. There is a Listed novice back here in a fortnight against the geldings but there's another Grade 3 against mares over two miles in Down Royal next month. She might get an entry for that as it is a lovely big track and I wouldn't totally rule it out.

Limerick Sun, 10th Oct, 2021  Big Debates This is great because we are just counting days with him really as he has had a lot of issues. In his point-to-points he was second twice to two Grade 1 horses (Felix Desjy and Gold Cup winner Minella Indo) but has had a lot of problems since and every day is a bonus. We are minding him, getting there and we left him off after winning at Ballinrobe (in May). We are afraid to run him on quicker ground even though he'd prefer that more than heavy - hopefully he stays right now.

Limerick Sun, 10th Oct, 2021  Kruzhlinin We were under pressure running him and I hope this win doesn't go unnoticed,. We wouldn't run the horse unless he was in good form and this is great and he is retired now. We love all the horses in the yard, horses are first and foremost and while I want to train winners, we love the horses and in fairness to Camilla (Sharples, Elliott's head lass and owner of the winner) it is great. Everyone in the yard looks after this horse and he has also won 14 point-to-points. He will stay in the yard now to lead the young horses and it is brilliant.

Gowran Park Sat, 2nd Oct, 2021  Tullybeg It was a good performance with the weight he had. He wants nice ground and when it gets soft we’ll probably give him a break.

Listowel Sun, 19th Sep, 2021  Coach Carter Obviously things fell our way when the favourite fell but he jumped well and Davy gave him a good ride. It was a nice race to win and a nice pot,. I thought we would be going back for a beginners' chase now so I don't know where we'll go with him. We'll try and find a little winners' race somewhere. I asked Jack (Kennedy) and he said Gevrey would have given him a race (only for a final fence blunder) but said he wouldn't have beaten the winner.
