Gowran Park Thu, 26th Sep, 2019  Lady In Lavender I'm not too sure how strong a race it was but she was entitled to do it at the weights and had run well over hurdles,. A mile or 1m2f is ideal for her and I was at the sales yesterday and only thought of double-entering her late so she isn't in next week. There is plenty of racing for her in the coming weeks and she likes an ease in the ground. Conor O'Brien is a good owner to have and we were unlucky with her in a good pot in Tramore, when she missed the last. She could also go back over hurdles at some stage soon.

Listowel Wed, 11th Sep, 2019  Jeremys Flame the way she won her bumper she’s a proper mare but she’s very difficult. She pulled very hard today. Johnny gave her a brilliant ride. She missed a few hurdles and that helped as it got her to back off a bit. If you could keep a lid on her she is potentially a very nice mare. Even at home she’s hard work. Joey Dunne rides her every day and Ian Donoghue, two big strong lads. She actually has to be ridden out on her own. She has some black type already in a bumper, so we could look for more over hurdles.

Killarney Fri, 23rd Aug, 2019  Bentham He's by Jeremy and they're supposed to like the soft ground but this ground is the key to him,. I ran him a couple of times on soft ground when I shouldn't have. He is in my wife's colours. We'll see if he's sold or not but we could go over hurdles with him.

Tramore Fri, 16th Aug, 2019  Think Positive he likes jumping better than he likes bumpers and he is a very slick jumper. From the first time we jumped him he showed us he had a great aptitude for jumping and I think he won't have any problem going out in trip either. He gallops and really hurdles well and hopefully he'll make a better hurdle horse than bumper horse. He'll go down the winners' novice route and I think he'll handle soft ground too. He is a lovely looking horse and hopefully he will improve as the winter goes on.

Tramore Thu, 15th Aug, 2019  The Granson Sandra Hughes thought a good bit of him too. She told me he is the makings of a good horse but is very delicate. Paul gave him a smashing ride, he took his time on him. I thought a good bit of this horse before but he had a lot of issues. We were going to move him on earlier in the year but the lads were patient and said to find out was there any issues with him and try to get a race out of him. I'm delighted their faith has been repaid. The staff love to see Padraig (owner Padraig Coffey) arriving on a Friday evening as he brings them all off for drinks, he looks after them very well and they'll definitely be looking forward to seeing him now!

Bellewstown Sat, 6th Jul, 2019  Bentham It's been a brilliant week. I don't think I'll better this,. I've always liked this horse and I thought he'd win a bumper first time out. I ran him on soft that was too soft and then he missed the break in Ballinrobe. In Punchestown he had gone over the top and the ground went too soft as well. I made a bit of a mess of him but I think he's a good horse and I'm delighted he's won. He turned in and gave him a chance to fill up. I'm happy with that. I don't know what the plan is now. Those are my wife's colours and hopefully he might be in different colours next time.

Bellewstown Sat, 6th Jul, 2019  Amor Verdadero She's a grand honest mare and was entitled to do that,. She's probably one that we could bring to the north of England and try and win a novice hurdle with. It's the first horse that the owner has had with us and they are having a bit of fun so it's great. She's been knocking on the door a few days so she deserved to win.
