Punchestown Tue, 14th Sep, 2021  My Holy Fox She did it very well. She's a beautifully bred filly and when we won the maiden in the Curragh we thought it was job done. On her work we thought maybe she had a nice mark. For her fourth run to do what she did from a wide draw, she was very professional about it and we're delighted. I'd love to sneak a bit of black-type for her but she is going to be covered southern hemisphere time. That is the plan at the moment but it might get changed, I don't know. Once she was made a winner that is what they decided to do but she's won two now and we'll see what the owners want to do.

Tramore Sat, 14th Aug, 2021  Groveman we thought the track would suit him, he has made the running before and it suited him. Going through the race we didn't see another front-runner and we thought we might be able to steal it from the front. It doesn't always work but it did today. He was in great form and was very fit. He was only beaten four lengths in Galway in a very competitive race, so we thought coming here that he had his chance.

Curragh Sun, 8th Aug, 2021  My Holy Fox At Gowran she was very raw and green but she ran on well in the end. I wasn’t sure if we were going the right distance today as I thought she needed a mile and it looked like that halfway through the race. Suddenly she quickened up and she won. She’s a beautifully bred filly and has won a Curragh maiden now. Some black type would be nice and she probably needs to get her toe in. Things fell right for her today.

Kilbeggan Fri, 9th Jul, 2021  Vischio That took a bit of time and it’s an important winner as her owner John Kennedy hasn’t had the best of health lately so that will definitely help him. He’s been a friend of mine for donkey’s years and he owned the first winner I ever had. We got her out of a Lingfield seller last year and she has taken her time to find a bit of form. The race cut up a bit and I was thinking she would go on the ground. We knew she was in good form.

Cork Sat, 8th May, 2021  Groveman I felt he came on an awful lot from his first run in Kilbeggan (after a six month lay-off) which was over two miles and even though he hadn't run over 2m4f before, I was thinking of running him over that trip the first day. To me he wants every inch of 2m4f to be in his comfort zone. I was hoping he'd go close and he seems a very sound, straightforward horse. Maybe he keeps a little for himself but I think stepping up in trip was a huge plus to him. The syndicate (Scobie Wan Kenobi Racing Club) are all local, it's headed by Scobie Hogan and they'll be delighted. He'll run away during the summer and might run also run on the flat.
