Kilbeggan Fri, 24th Jul, 2026  Mysilverriverfeale She was fifty days off before she ran in Killarney last week, and I'd say she was just too fresh and keen, and that was a very strong mares' maiden for this time of year. Previous to that, she had spat it out lovely when she was second at Tramore. We just dropped her back in trip and left her roll away today, and she was a different mare. It was a bit of a worry going back so soon,  but it worked out anyway.

Wexford Wed, 22nd Jul, 2026  Sky Lord Sky Lord jumped well and galloped well. He has been frustrating to be honest but hopefully we have him back right again. I’m delighted for him and Basil (Holian, owner in Watchman Racing). We went over further the last day but I’d say he is just a two-miler and he loved that ground. He has got a gear so Darragh was saving that in today’s race. I presume he won’t move off her handicap mark as he didn’t beat anything so I’d say he will go back handicapping now.

Kilbeggan Sun, 31st May, 2026  Apple's Of Bresil He had a little bit of a suspensory issue, nothing major, and we just had to give him the time,. He’s a big horse and he always looked like he was going to be better over a fence. He goes on good ground so I’d say we’ll keep him going for the summer now. I’d like to get him to Galway if I can, we’ll see how he comes out of the race. There is a handicap back here in a couple of weeks. If he bounced out of the race we might look at that. You have to have three runs before you can run in any of the bigger chases. It’s a great first step so we are thrilled. Tim (O’Driscoll) is abroad, in either France or Spain. I can’t keep up with him. He’s had a good old time of it and we’ll keep him over there!

Downpatrick Fri, 22nd May, 2026  Mr Master Mac He has run around the country tracks and that is why we said we would come down here. He has all that experience. Tramore especially was a good run. He won his bumper in Sligo and coming up here, we thought he should handle the place, and it is hard to handle it. He's not the biggest, but he's very athletic and was well bought by James Hughes. Tom was good on him too. He's agile, he's small, and he can nip around these places. We will stick to the country tracks and try and pick up as many as we can.

Killarney Mon, 11th May, 2026  Samba Train It was her first time at that trip, she stayed well and, like her owner (Sir Francis Brooke), she is a pleasure. . We had previously been found out in a Listed race at Thurles but that was on soft ground, and she is a well-bred mare who has two bumpers and a maiden hurdle won now. She was slick over her hurdles, saw it out well and she'll keep going for the summer.

Punchestown Fri, 1st May, 2026  Largy Star He’s some horse to stay and the bit of nicer ground helped,. He just didn’t operate on the heavy ground in Naas, he found it tough work. Back on nice ground today he was very tough and stayed going. He didn’t jump particularly well the last day in Fairyhouse, he didn’t jump at all to be honest. He’ll have to smarten up with that but if he can do that he’s a nice horse.

Punchestown Thu, 30th Apr, 2026  Adaboy Mushy That’s mighty. When I looked at the weights in the race, I said I wouldn’t ride him myself. I had been watching Barry, and he rode for me in Bellewstown before. He’s a good lad. I thought it might be the difference and that’s why I said I’d sit it out. It paid dividends as there wasn’t much in it. He quickened well and I’m delighted. The owners are in the bar all day, so they are fairly buoyed! I’d say I’ll have to join them now. I said I was going home to ride out in the morning, but I don’t think I’m allowed now. He’s always shown a lot. We’ll leave him off now. It was even a bit of a gamble, I was very worried about keeping a four-year-old in this long but he’s a big strong boy and he has a turn of foot. He’s a nice horse for next year.
