Leopardstown Mon, 2nd Mar, 2026  El Fabiolo It was a nice performance, hopefully now he’s just coming to himself,. I think he should improve again for a bit of nicer ground as the spring goes on and the final of the series in Punchestown is going to be the big aim for him. We had him qualified already and this race just fitted in nicely.

The final of this series in Punchestown is going to be the big aim for him. We had him qualified already and this race just fitted in nicely. It was a taking performance and it was nice to see him hit the line the way he did. The first day we drew a line through it. We bounced out to make all and he didn’t have the experience under his belt to manage with it, and his jumping was terrible on the day. We’ve ironed that out since. We’ve sat on our hands for as long as we could waiting for nicer ground but it didn’t materialise so we ended up getting him out today and taking a chance.

Clonmel Thu, 8th Jan, 2026  King Of Aces I bought this horse as I thought I might win the WillowWarm Gold Cup (Fairyhouse) on his half-brother Ile Atlantique later that same day, but fell off him, which wasn't a great start! . I was a big fan of Ile Atlantique and while he has been disappointing, is still a 150-horse. This fellow was very good in a point-to-point, is a fine big chasing type, and Aidan Fitzgerald recommended him strongly. He is quite exciting and isn't slow. Again, he is for sale to stay in the yard and to me he could be a Thyestes or Paddy Power-type of horse down the line. I thought he might grind out a win today but he showed gears. Conor (Glennon, part owner) is a friend who came to me and asked me to buy a horse so we found this, which is his first one. He is enjoying it.
