Kilbeggan Sun, 31st May, 2026  Local News It’s super, obviously in a small field like that you are worried that it could turn into a tactical affair,. She had the least experience in the race so it’s great to see her pull it out like that. She’s such an honest mare and a pleasure to deal with. We’re very lucky to find a mare like her that’s after winning her first two. It’s hard enough to place her after winning first time out as there are no mares’ novices. We had to take on the geldings. We took the chance, going up to three miles today, and it worked out. It was a great rider from Alan. I was a bit worried when the leader was ahead but he was confident that he had enough horse to catch up at all times. It seems that she doesn’t mind toughing it out. We’ll regroup now and see where we go next. After the last day I thought the best thing to do was to go and try to chase a bit of prize-money. I don’t want to over step her and take on mares that are too good yet. It’s a great day, we came all the way from Cork and it’s good to be coming up here and getting a winner. She loves good ground, she just seems to really enjoy it.

Cork Sun, 10th May, 2026  Local News to be honest, she hasn’t been showing anything - definitely not! . She is a companion for another younger horse at home and everyone rides this mare, including my wife Stephanie, my dad and sister. She is a very pleasant mare but that was very unexpected. I suppose she is a six-year-old getting to the races for the first time, so had that bit of experience from home under her belt. She kept getting small niggly injuries which kept knocking her out, but they were nothing serious. Her companion at home was actually due to run in Killarney yesterday but we had bad news when on arrival at the course as the IHRB couldn’t find his microchip, so he wasn’t allowed to run. We’ll get that sorted, go again and, after today, it looks like he can’t be too bad!. This mare is for sale, although there aren’t many who like to buy small mares!. My father Joseph always had a few winners and I’m farming now so took out my trainers’ license a year-and-a-half ago. We are dairy farmers and keep a few horses as a hobby.

Clonmel Tue, 14th Apr, 2026  My Gaffer It is nice for Walter (O'Connor), it is a great win and I fancied him out of the way,. He had won a schooling race at Nenagh, came here fit and well and while I know he had 11st 9lb, I took the 5lb off. He is rated 122 over fences. . He was up to three miles today and that's his job.

Cork Thu, 19th Mar, 2026  Mystic Malina She struggled in Naas the last day and Phillip just pulled her up in time. He said that was the saving of her today. He looked after her. She needs nice ground and she put up a nice performance there. From a long way out I thought she was travelling and jumping very well, she was really enjoying it. It was an ordinary race she won in Clonmel and we were a bit disappointed in Naas but in fairness Phillip said ‘don’t worry about it’ as she needs a bit of nice ground. I have to give him the credit. I might go to Fairyhouse with her, there is a three-mile novice handicap there and she might get into that now. She hasn’t ran that often. That’s only her fourth run over hurdles and she’s won two races now.

Wexford Tue, 17th Mar, 2026  Connemara Shore Phillip Enright had a lot of work done with her. We put cheekpieces on her the last day and she travelled better. She unseated at Navan one day and she just doesn't watch what she is doing, she is very genuine but is too busy watching everyone else's business. Phillip rang me during the week about putting blinkers on her. She travelled everywhere today and the blinkers done there job. It's just a pity Phillip wasn't here today but he had to go to the north. Fair play to her owners, I told them to stick with her, that she just needed time.

Clonmel Thu, 26th Feb, 2026  Fenway Park It was nice for him to do something, but it was a fairly weak contest. He hadn't been putting it in in chases recently so at least when others came to him today, he did enough to win and stuck his head down and battled. He has been a bit disappointing, but we got today out of him and he is cheap now (at €10,000) that he has won a race. The syndicate is a hab dash of people from all over and half were included in I'm A Game Changer, who won a graded race.

Navan Sun, 8th Feb, 2026  Oscars Brother it was a brilliant performance and was nice to get it out of the way. He loved the ground, had the ears pricked the whole way and it looked like he could have gone around again. He's a very easy horse to ride, so I just leave it up to Dan. He just likes to do his own thing but, if someone wanted to give us a lead, we would have been happy enough. He seems to be taking racing well, is improving and he jumped great. after the last day, we had this race pencilled in and I suppose we can make more plans now. He takes his racing well, so we will see how he is during the week and go from there. The timing of the Brown Advisory at Cheltenham would be good. He keeps improving, so you never know where he could end up.

Navan Sun, 8th Feb, 2026  Oscars Brother It was a brilliant performance. Nice to get it out of the way anyway. He loved the ground, he had the ears pricked the whole way. It looked like he could have gone around again. He’s a very easy horse to ride, I just leave it up to Dan. He just likes to do his own thing there but, if someone wanted to give us a lead, we would be happy enough. He seems to be taking it (racing) well and improving. He jumped great there.
