Tipperary Mon, 4th Oct, 2021  Swift Flight He deserved it, it is his eighth start but in fairness he has been unlucky a few times. He was beaten a nose by a nice horse of Joe Murphy's (White Lavender) at Navan and on his second last run, he got tight for room at a crucial stage. He has gone and done it now, he'll be put away now and like the last winner (Moss Tucker) will be a nice sprint handicapper for next year. He should make his way up the grades and should be suited by those sprint handicaps, travelling in behind the pace. We've had to be careful missing engagements because of lively ground and to be fair today was the first time he'd had that deep ground and he was pretty good and Billy was very good on him and rode him with plenty confidence.

Bellewstown Wed, 29th Sep, 2021  Mean Fomhair It’s great to get another win into her and she’ll be retired at the end of the year. Myself and my father Frank bred her.

Cork Tue, 28th Sep, 2021  Yermanthere I've hit the crossbar a few times lately but it is nice to get the first winner. I got my interim license when my father (Tom Foley) passed away and I did the course two months ago. I have 15 in training, a 50/50 mix of flat and jumpers and they have been running well without winning. Hopefully we can get a few more over the winter. I am full-time training now and it is a family operation. My sisters are all involved and Goretti rides him every day - they work hard so it is great for the yard. I'm happy to training anything and have room for more. We'll see what the handicapper does with him, we were waiting for an ease in the ground and we'll probably go for a handicap next. He should improve from three to four and could be sold. We are very lucky to have a horse like him in the yard, especially with owners like Ray McSharry (namesake and son of former Tanaiste) and Jim Browne, from Donadee. I can't thank them enough.

Tramore Sat, 14th Aug, 2021  White Pepper she very much deserved that as she has been banging on the door. The handicapper put her up to a mark of 80 and I thought he was a little bit unkind to her. I thought she would struggle in a handicap on 80 but I'm delighted she won today. She is a grand filly, she deserved it because she tries hard. She had tonnes of experience. We have no immediate plan for her, but she has schooled over hurdles and she will probably jump a hurdle at some stage.

Galway Tue, 27th Jul, 2021  Sirjack Thomas Sheehy said, .My agent Kevin O'Ryan rang me last night when I was just getting into bed and he . I broke well from a wide draw. There was a lot of pace on so I was keen to get slotted in and just get him to relax. He did everything lovely for me. Coming down into the dip I got every run I wanted and I picked up well coming out of the dip. I galloped right to the line.

Curragh Sat, 17th Jul, 2021  Elite Trooper Grey I've had one winner in Ireland point-to-pointing and two over in England point-to-pointing. It's my fourth winner overall. I worked in Cullentra for about six years when I was younger and decided to make the move to England to see if I could get more opportunity and experience. I'm back on a holiday so it is kind of a lucky ride!. He loved that good ground, the uphill finish and the sun on his back. She gave him a great ride. She held on to him and when she brought him a little bit wide he just went 'oh I'm gone'. It was a very good ride. She was so composed. She's ridden in point-to-points and rides out in Cullentra a lot. She'd be one of the good work riders and schools over fences as well. She's a very accomplished rider. That was great to see her do that. He's a lovely horse and there should be something for him in Galway. It's lovely to have a dual-purpose horse like that who can do both. He's a quality horse and he enjoyed that. Getting his head in front will make him feel good about himself.

Curragh Sat, 26th Jun, 2021  Sirjack Thomas He was a little in and out and a bit disappointing a few times but we felt there was a good pot in him,.

Gowran Park Mon, 14th Jun, 2021  Mountain Fox He's great and I wish I had a few more, he's the only one I have at the minute, . He worked on Wednesday, Ricky Doyle rode him over seven furlongs and he said 'he'll nearly win for you on Monday'. I said 'that'll do'. I was going to ride him myself but I said I'd get Ricky's opinion as he won on him over hurdles. That was to be his last Flat race as he was going jumping, he's a super leaper and he's crying out for a distance — two or two-and-a-half miles. That might change a bit now! It depends on what the handicapper does now, that's the problem as he only dropped him 4lb in four years. He's only a pony. I ride him out every day myself except on the weekends when my daughter Wendy rides him. I do everything, put the shoes on him, bring him everywhere but sure what else would I be doing at my age?. I turned 80 the other day, that's all. I'm a young 80.

Curragh Wed, 2nd Jun, 2021  Shelly Banks I’d say the tongue tie helped her a lot today — it’s her first time with it. She just wasn’t finishing her races the last few times so we said we’d stick on a tongue tie and see how it went. He dropped her in a bit today which probably helped her as well. I’ve nothing really picked out but she’s got a good pot there so that should keep them all happy for a while. She’s small but she’s tough. She’s honest which is the main thing.
