Punchestown Wed, 19th Feb, 2020  Mary Frances I knew she had a serious chance and you can forget about her last two runs,.

Naas Sun, 26th Jan, 2020  Billaway He’s booked his ticket and is still a young horse. He looks a Foxhunters type and that’s what we bought him for.

Naas Sun, 26th Jan, 2020  Carefully Selected He makes hard work of it. That’s twice he’s been taken out of a race with what appeared race ending mistakes but has come back. He stays all day and his jumping is generally safe. That will be good experience for him. He doesn’t look the fastest but I think he has more speed than he looks at least over that sort of trip. . He’s qualified now for the National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham and it looks like that’s where he’ll go. I think better ground won’t inconvenience him over a trip.

Gowran Park Thu, 23rd Jan, 2020  Chosen Mate To be honest I was baffled in Fairyhouse. Davy came in and said he didn’t handle the ground but he was a different horse today,.

Punchestown Sun, 12th Jan, 2020  Carefully Selected this race wasn’t the plan and I wanted to get experience into him because he missed running at Leopardstown. He was careful when he needed to be and got some good jumps when Paul wanted him. He learned a lot today and we are very happy with him. He didn’t get too hard a race there. I hadn’t planned running at the Dublin Racing Festival but maybe he could go for something just after that, before Cheltenham. The way he went around there the National Hunt Chase would be right up his street but we have to keep the RSA open as well. I’d like to get another run into him before then and the Ten Up at Navan is a possibility. I often think it’s too near Cheltenham but this fella doesn’t take too much out of himself racing.

Punchestown Sun, 12th Jan, 2020  Chosen Hour he was rated 109 over hurdles so it was an ideal race for him. Where we go now I don’t know but there is a few options for him. He’s been a lucky horse so far.

Fairyhouse Sat, 30th Nov, 2019  Carefully Selected He was entitled to do that and you can see from looking at him there is a bit more to come from him. He made a few novicey mistakes but his class got him through today.

Punchestown Tue, 15th Oct, 2019  Sixshooter It was very pleasing and she (Rachael Blackmore) said he was awful green. She said it was hard to believe he had won two bumpers because he's so green,. She said when he really learns how to do it he'll be quite good. Everything the mare (Lobinstown Girl) has produced has won. I suppose we'll be going for a novice hurdle over two-and-a-quarter or two-and-a-half miles. I'll have to see where he slots in. It's nice that he kept his unbeaten record in tact and it would be nice if he could do that again. Obviously we're hoping he'll be real good but we'll have to see. He wasn't drilled for that and I expect him to improve a good bit. I don't think soft ground will bother him, his wind is good and he's pretty straight-forward. I wouldn't be afraid of going to two miles either, I think he has the pace, but I'm happy enough to stay at two-and-a-half with him at the moment. I think the three miles race can empty them out and he's only four.
