Leopardstown Sun, 1st Feb, 2026  Moonverrin My nephew rang him (Maguire) this morning because he rides her the whole time. We said ‘if you get done for being late we won’t mind’ because once she hits the front she actually stops. What could he do. He said she didn’t travel down the back but the way she battled back! I’m speechless, it’s the first time ever!. This is for all the lads at home. It’s not just me, it’s all the boys at home. We don’t ever ring a jockey beforehand, but my nephew Michael rides her the whole time and he knows her so we just said we’d let him know that if he gets done on the line for being late we wouldn’t lose a night’s sleep over it. His hand was drawn; he was just cruising. It looked down the back like she was struggling but she just devoured the ground. She came home like a train but in saying that she had to battle at the same time. I still think we don’t know how good she is. The way we train them at home, up the hill, we don’t ever drill them. She’s working with Battle Of Ridgeway, who runs tomorrow, and he’s a good yardstick. I’d give him a serious shout tomorrow. It’s our first graded winner and it’s special, especially at the Dublin Racing Festival. She’s going to be entered in everything but whether we go to Cheltenham or wait for the mares’ races, we’ll see. The young lad warned me ‘don’t mention Cheltenham!’ so we’ll probably wai

Cork Sat, 3rd Jan, 2026  Moonverrin I’m trying to keep it low-key at the moment, but we think she’s special. . We went to Fairyhouse and took on the geldings, and I wasn’t one bit surprised with how well she ran. . The half-brother Mulcahys Hill was a serious horse, and I think she’ll match him. . Pa wanted to go point-to-pointing with her as she’s absolutely dynamite to jump. She’s probably as good as what we’ve had in the yard. 

Leopardstown Fri, 26th Dec, 2025  The Mourne Rambler We have him about two months. Philip owned a half share in him with Paddy Turley all along and they kept talking about how good he was,. They ran him and he was second and Philip bought the half share off him and sent him down. I didn’t do too much with him as he was pretty fit, I was trying to keep him fresh as much as anything. I’d say he’ll come on a good bit from the run. He seems to stay quite well. I would have thought that they’d be pretty keen to bring him to Cheltenham and maybe back here for the Dublin racing festival. We might even leave it like that and go to Cheltenham with him how he is. He’ll have a couple of more runs this season and then go jumping. We’ll see how he comes out of this and we certainly won’t rush him back anyway. There was a lot of chat about Willie’s and other horses. When a bumper breaks up like that you never really know if it’s a good race or not. We think he’s not a bad horse anyway so we’re happy enough.

Galway Sat, 25th Oct, 2025  Will The Wise Keith turned it into a good test, and he kept it simple. He made a few novicey mistakes, but he probably learned from that. It is grand to gain compensation for his defeat here the last day. We'll be keeping an eye on all the handicaps in the autumn and all being well he could take on something like the Troytown next.
