Cork Sun, 20th Oct, 2019  The Little Yank He was lucky he wasn't brought down and he'd have won easily, . He (Liam Quinlan) said another horse came straight across him. The way he was hampered he was very lucky he wasn't brought down and it is seldom a horse is blocked and will pick up again. In fairness Liam didn't panic and gave him a good ride. We ran him back quick in a bumper to see would we go the bumper route and we'll now either run him in a Listed bumper or a maiden hurdle. He has loads of foot and only for his speed he wouldn't have gotten out of trouble today. He loves soft ground, the softer the better and is not ground dependant in any circumstance. He is out of Presenting mare who was out of a Supreme Leader mare so isn't ground dependant.

Sligo Wed, 25th Sep, 2019  Western Sea He loved it and jumped great. A couple of times he was keen last year so we decided to drop him in to relax and he completely goes asleep,. When he’s ridden competitively like that he comes alive. We learned that the last day in Tramore where he just got beat, and we said we’d wait for this race as it’s his bracket for horses rated 109 or less (over hurdles). Hopefully he’ll give us a bit of fun over fences, and the fact that he won over 2m5f today means there are a few more options for him going a trip. I’m lucky to have Tommy Ward in the yard. He’s from Mountmellick and ever since he came to us he’s given the yard a great boost. Hopefully we’ll have a bit more luck for him.

Galway Mon, 16th Sep, 2019  Western Victory That was a very good performance and Sean's seven pounds helped in that ground. She'll probably get a hike for that so we'll see what the handicapper does but there's a Listed mares' hurdle at Gowran in two weeks as she didn't have a majorly hard race there. Her form behind Honeysuckle last season was decent and she had won around here before. We have her 10 weeks.

Kilbeggan Fri, 6th Sep, 2019  Lessofdnegativity He was trained by (son) Robert and is a half-brother to a Scottish National winner (Joe Farrell). He’ll go to Listowel for the three miles hurdle on Thursday where he’ll have a light weight,.

Sligo Sun, 14th Jul, 2019  Belle West I have been fierce disappointed with her. The only other day she got that ground was in Thurles. To ride her at home she is very shouldery but she obviously wants it. We took a chance coming here as I thought it was a bit short for her but it’s worked out. She ran well last time in Wexford but the ground was better today. She was covered twice but didn’t get in foal. She’s owned by Jerry O’Connell whose brother Danny was a trainer.
