Punchestown Mon, 17th Jan, 2022  Limerick Lace she's a lovely big mare and the way she jumps a hurdle she'll be a nice one to go chasing with at some stage. She got into a little bit of a pocket there. She'll stay further and I'd say she needs every yard of that (2m4f 130yds).

Naas Sun, 2nd Jan, 2022  Ginto Jack said he wasn’t doing a stroke the whole way. He jumped well and stays well. He’s very idle in front on his own.

Leopardstown Sun, 26th Dec, 2021  Facile Vega He’s always shown me that he is decent. He worked well last year and we said we’d put him away until he was more mature. He’s a fine big, long-striding horse and Patrick was keen to let him use his stride from early in the race. That worked as they weren’t able to get past him. Patrick said when he asked him he went up into another gear. He’s shown me at home that he looks like a racehorse but now he is one on the racetrack. He could have a nice future. I’d imagine he’ll take the usual route of the Dublin Racing Festival and then on to the spring Festivals.

Navan Sat, 4th Dec, 2021  Itswhatunitesus That's great. He's a lovely horse and we won't do much more with him this year. We'll give him a break and we'll probably bring him back for Fairyhouse and leave it there. He's one for the future.

Navan Sat, 4th Dec, 2021  Ginto That was great, he's the horse we thought he was. He's a big galloper. It was no race here the last day. From the second last to the line is what I loved today as he just galloped. He's a good horse. He'll get an entry for the race at Naas and we'll see. We'll have a chat with Noel and Valerie and see what they want to do. He's a chaser in the making.

Navan Sun, 7th Nov, 2021  Ginto Jack said it was like a piece of work for him, he wasn't doing a stroke going around there on his own. It's job done. He's gotten very strong, he's a big bull, and he needs to get out, get a bit of work, and get going. He's probably going to be more of a staying horse. It's grand to start the day off well.

Naas Sat, 6th Nov, 2021  Bellatior she’s a little bit hot but she’s very nice. She’s going to be good. She was keen but to pick up and go as she did was good. We’ll take our time with her and probably leave her now until the spring.

Limerick Sun, 10th Oct, 2021  Vado Forte We thought he'd run well but didn't think he'd do that. He will be a good fun horse and we're delighted with him. I was worried about the trip but he could come back and could go over hurdles too. He is a good fun horse and Simon (McGonagle), my head man, owns him with two local publicans who gave a few quid for him so it great for them all.

Listowel Fri, 24th Sep, 2021  Pink In The Park She could be a bit special that one. She had been working well and brought it to the race track today,. She is a fine mare, we'll look for some Listed bumpers with her now but the race in Gowran (next month) comes too soon. I might give her a break now and put her by until Christmas or the Dublin Racing Festival. She has got it on both sides, is from the Morley Street/Granville Again family and has a top class pedigree. I don't know about ground yet, but it's not a worry yet anyway. It caps off a nice couple of days for Patrick who rode the winner of the Racehorses-to-Riding class in Balmoral Show yesterday. He actually rode all 15 horses as he was the judge, along with Noel Chance on the ground, and it was won by Woodland Opera. It was a change of pace on that filly today.
