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.

Dundalk Mon, 12th Jul, 2021  The Highway Rat He did that well. We were going to go to Ascot with him for the Palace Of Holyroodhouse Stakes, a new race for three-year-olds only over five furlongs on the Friday.

Tipperary Thu, 1st Jul, 2021  Elegant Lass We were hoping for the same thing as last year (to win on reappearance) and it was a similar track to Bellewstown - flat and quick. She looked to get her own way in front today which was ideal and everything went really right and she jumped great. It is good to have her back, there aren't many of those Dandy Mans hurdling so to get the two miles over hurdles is great. She was very flighty and headstrong on the flat and wasn't getting home and we only went hurdling to try to get her to settle down. It has worked so well I think she'll stay over hurdles now.

Dundalk Wed, 12th May, 2021  The Highway Rat said Oliver. We saw this race and it worked out well. He did it very well but it remains to be seen just how solid the form is.

Naas Sat, 8th May, 2021  Mi Esperanza I wasn’t going to come here today but to be fair to Shane he told me to enter her up for it. I thought the weight would kill her coming up the hill. Shane said if there is rain coming run her as I think she’ll win. He’d more faith in her than I had. I know she’s consistent but she’s always the bridesmaid and never the bride. She might run again at Navan next Saturday. I'll see how she comes out of this.

Gowran Park Tue, 4th May, 2021  Bellagio Man It was a good performance and he had to be brave. He has a terrible draw but it helped that the favourite got stuck in the stalls, fair play to Colin and the horse they took advantage of that. He's still a green horse and will improved from it. He was in front a long way from home and it was a fair performance. He wouldn't ideally like that ground, it went a bit slow, and we were a bit nervous before the race with the heavy showers yesterday and today. He's a good ground horse but because it was the first race we said we'd take our chance and got away with it.
