Naas Fri, 9th Jan, 2026  Rockbrook He loves soft ground and seems to be a better horse over a fence. He’s after having two races in just over a week so he won’t be seen for six weeks or two months now and we’ll give him a chance. I’m delighted for the lads, great syndicate and they are great supporters of mine. They have two more young horses at home now. I keep saying great staff and great owners, that is all you need.

Fairyhouse Sat, 29th Nov, 2025  Billy Lee Swagger That was brilliant. We just decided to change things around completely today. We thought he’d run well the last day in Navan. It was a decent run, but I thought he just raced way too lazily. I thought there wasn’t much pace in the race and that he was fit, so we’d try and ride him very prominent. Now I look clever, maybe I wasn’t too clever the last day. It’s great that it worked out really well. He jumped well and he raced lazily in front, so he kept getting breathers. We’re having a great run thankfully. I had an idea that I’d send him to the ladies race in Limerick over Christmas and go back to dropping him in a little bit, but after that I’m not quite sure. We might look elsewhere, maybe Punchestown on New Year’s Eve.
