Downpatrick Sat, 13th Jun, 2026  Brosna Queen She's a decent mare just things haven't gone right for her the last year, but touch wood we have her right now, I think. She's out of a Hawk Wing mare and she is a Getaway, she probably just wants that bit of better ground. We will see how we go with her now. Downpatrick has been for lucky for us and we have always been very lucky up north, in Down Royal as well. Even riding here, I was very lucky.

Clonmel Fri, 5th Jun, 2026  Getaway Henry Getaway Henry ran no race the last day at Limerick which we couldn’t understand, but he only has one eye and was on the inside, so I think he was doing nothing at all. He lost his (off) eye as a foal out in the field and my sister Christina, who bred him, tips away with him, but he ran so badly the last day that she didn’t come today!. We have two horses and the other one is a half-sister Pixie Hill, who runs tomorrow at Punchestown. We are based near Freemount in north Cork and use Alex Ott’s gallops a lot and also Eugene O’Sullivan’s. I previously worked for Gerry Cully and Michael Hourigan and we are farming so this is a hobby. Please God this fella can win again.

Downpatrick Fri, 22nd May, 2026  Asphalt Cowboy He won the two hunters chases here last year. He loves it here and is a different horse around here. The other horse (Cause For Comment) is a much classier horse but this lad when he comes around here, he seems to light up. We'll work back from here next year!. He's unbelievably talented, but he just has his own ideas about it. He's a yard favourite. He would be a right horse for the Ulster National. I would look at that; sure it is a 50 grand race. Cause For Comment ran a blinder, he was unlucky. He was very lucky to stand up. He's finished for the season, but he will be a lovely horse for next year.

Killarney Sat, 9th May, 2026  Pride Of Place Charlie knows him well, won on him last year in Tipperary and the horse had a nice blow out in the charity race at Punchestown last week, where he was ridden by Kate O'Leary, who works with us. He jumped well and loves that trip. He'll probably get eight or 10 pounds for winning today but Charlie takes 5lb off, which helps. . Charlie is with me every Monday and it was a clever ride today, as he did everything that was asked of him.

Fairyhouse Sun, 5th Apr, 2026  Five Star Getaway It was great. I know there was a bit of carnage but he would have stayed on and who knows what would have happened. . We tried to qualify him for Aintree, to give Josh a spin over the National fences, but it didn’t work out. This is a good second best. . He’s had good form and came up against a good horse the last day (Asian Master). . He was a decent horse back in the day for Christian Williams and Mark Scott. They gave him to us to let Josh get a lot of experience on him and it’s great. . Josh has only had a few rides on the track and he’s ridden a bumper winner. 

Wexford Tue, 17th Mar, 2026  Catchabird She's been knocking on the door in handicaps and she just couldn't get her day. We played around in trip a bit, but I think the two miles is her trip. We probably made a bit too much use of her before and we said we'd take our time today and see if she'd come home and she did. She got a very good ride from Aidan. She was getting the 8lb from the bumper winners today and we thought she was entitled to win. She was race fit and had been running all winter. She is a home bred and is a full-sister to Getabird, so it was important to get a win with her. She'll keep tipping away once the ground is on the slow side, she wouldn't handle any quick ground. She's in at Navan on Saturday and might turn up there with a penalty. That's my second winner of the season and I had my first one last year. I've only the two in training at the moment and they've both won now.

Leopardstown Tue, 3rd Mar, 2026  Ealu She’s a lovely mare. I’d say she would have won the first day at Boulta,. In fairness Pius (Collins, owner) was offered a good bit of money and he said he’d keep her. She’s always been very nice. She’ll go for a black-type bumper, she’ll probably go to Aintree. I’d say she’ll even be better on a bit better ground. She’s a nice mare to look forward to. Derek was very impressed with her, she’s a lovely filly. She’s always shown that, she showed it all last year as well.
