Dundalk Fri, 22nd Oct, 2021  The Highway Rat That was just brilliant by Ronan. I said to him ‘just keep it simple, you know the horse now’ and he had no trouble in running — everything went smoothly. It’s particularly poignant as Pat was a great friend to all of us.

Fairyhouse Mon, 20th Sep, 2021  Dandyville He's very, very game. He's been in good form since his last run at the Curragh as well,. We thought he was drawn on the wrong side of the track at the Curragh. Shane said he did that well and we are all very pleased with him. We'll see what the handicapper does now and see how he comes out of the race.

Naas Sun, 22nd Aug, 2021  Dare To Flare Jake was just 16 last week and has just got his licence. He rode a few pony race winners in the last few weeks.

Cork Sat, 7th Aug, 2021  Pretty Smart She was very unlucky in Fairyhouse when she got no run and then Dylan couldn't ride her the last day and Mickey (Sheehy) did a great job on her. It was a toss-up between Dylan and Mickey but I've been able to get Dylan as often as I've wanted, so it was the right thing to do. We changed her routine, we don't gallop her anymore and do strong canters. Since we've stopped asking her to work fast at home, she has got a lot stronger, eats better and is a happier bunny now.

Naas Wed, 21st Jul, 2021  Dandyville He's been in good form since he won at Fairyhouse. The last time he ran at Dundalk (over 7f) he wasn't beaten far and we thought dropping back to six furlongs would suit him. He travelled into the race lovely, Gavin got him settled well and he always does his best work at the end. He's very genuine and tough and hopefully he'll progress and we can get him competing at premier handicap level by the end of the year. At the moment I think his trip is six furlongs. Once he learns to settle a bit better we can think about stepping up. I don't think he'll have any problem staying seven, it's just a matter of getting him to settle and a faster pace suits better at this stage.
