Fairyhouse Tue, 4th Nov, 2025  Castle Field Boy we’re delighted with Castle Field Boy as we didn’t think he’d be fit enough. On his first run back, after the length of time he was off and on ground that’s as soft as it is, I did worry. I suppose he did something similar when Michael O’Sullivan won on him in Clonmel off a good break, so maybe I should have known better. I thought Eoin was very good on him, as going down Ballyhack when the other horse kicked, I was saying to myself that I hoped he didn’t go and follow him. Eoin had the sense to let him on and filled him up every step of the way. He had a bit of a stop-start season last season and we didn’t get a clear run with him but that’s a good start this season and it’ll do his confidence the world of good.
