Tramore Sat, 30th May, 2026  Dinoland I don’t have him that long. He won a couple of races for John McConnell and he has mostly northern owners. It’s taken me a couple of runs to find the key to him but he seems to be in good form now anyway. Good ground and a jump is probably the key to him. It took me four hours getting here today and it will be a wee bit shorter going home anyway!

Downpatrick Fri, 8th May, 2026  Dinoland this place can be horses-for-courses and Dinoland just loved that. To be fair, the owners were telling me that he ran well here in the past so were keen to come back. They would have liked to have been here but, unfortunately as it turned out, some of the boys are in Chester with another runner and some of them are down in Ballinrobe with another - it is all a bit spread out, but they’ll enjoy this!. The horse has ability and it has just been finding his happy place. That's his third run for us so hopefully we are finding the buttons with him.

Fairyhouse Sat, 4th Apr, 2026  Sept Etoiles He dropped him in and hunted around, nearly all the horses that were up the front pulled up,. I don’t know what happened the last day, he never travelled a yard. Maybe he’s a bit of a monkey but he won anyway so we’re happy. It’s a nice race to win, a great pot and the Sloans are big supporters of Cullentra so I’m delighted for them.

Cheltenham Fri, 13th Mar, 2026  Dinoblue It was a competitive race and I think she got an excellent ride from Mark and what more can I say, I’m just very happy. One thing Mark said when he got off her was that her jumping today was magical. The last ditch she jumped so well and took her into the race and she was just competitive then. Mark didn’t want to go that far out but what could he do. She’s very uncomplicated, a lovely mare and she’s a good match with Mark. That looked her best performance without going through the form book. We’d been worried about the trip before but there didn’t seem to be any problem with anything this year — ground, trip but especially her jumping, that was extraordinary. If you had a horse jump like that every day of the week, it would make this game easy. I don’t know when she might go off to stud, the main difference between the Irish and French is that in France they’d go off to stud with her, but we treat these mares as racehorses and if they are good we tend to keep them. I’ll leave that up to the owner. There’s nice mares’ races for her left this season, so I’d imagine she’d stick to them.

Gowran Park Sat, 7th Mar, 2026  Dromard He's a lovely big horse and we just couldn't get him ready in time for Cheltenham. When we saw the Doc's bumper, we put him aside for that. He looks a real nice prospect,. I was worried as Josh Halley's horse was running a cracker, but this fellow is by Doctor Dino and he's a horse I like. They don't normally win on this heavy ground but this fellow is a big, old-fashioned chaser type and he relished it. . If the ground doesn't get too dry in the spring, we would keep him for Fairyhouse or Punchestown.

Punchestown Wed, 18th Feb, 2026  Straight John It probably wasn’t the strongest race in the world and I’d say he probably wants two-and-a-half miles. I’d say a rated hurdle somewhere would suit him well, he ran a nice race. He’s very straightforward. I’d say he wants further and Jack said the track was pretty tight for him.

Leopardstown Mon, 2nd Feb, 2026  Narciso Has It was a very nice performance, he did it the hard way from the front,. He settles lovely in front, jumps well in front and has enough for a kick at the end. He’s mature as well and looking at him I think he’s going to make into a nice chaser. He’s a fine, big specimen of a horse. I liked him from the first day that he came in. He was very green the first day that he ran, but he’s learning all the time. He had his two ears pricked going down the back the whole way. He seemed well within himself and well able to handle himself.

Leopardstown Mon, 2nd Feb, 2026  Doctor Steinberg It was very impressive on that ground, it’s very tough,. Every time we’ve gone up in trip he seems to like it. He’s out of a Cyborg mare and that’s all stamina. I think we bought two off Walter (Connors) that year, Kopek Des Bordes and this fella, so it’s a 100 per cent record in Grade Ones which is fantastic. It was probably going to the last the first time before he relaxed. There was a horse up his backside everywhere he went and he was very free, but he kept galloping. The fact that could pull like that and still be galloping at the end of two-miles-six on very tough ground. We thought he was a summer horse first so he goes on all sorts of ground, but he seems to be better when he has tougher conditions.
