Limerick Mon, 19th Apr, 2021  That's Lifebuoy She had a couple of good runs in maidens. She was third in Fairyhouse behind Peter Fahey’s good mare (Royal Kahala). The ground is a little bit better today and we rode her wide to get better ground. Philip Donovan gave her a great ride. She’s a lovely mare going forward and will win again hopefully.

Wexford Wed, 10th Mar, 2021  Bythesametoken I'm delighted with him and he is a classy horse. He has stepped up from his run in Naas. He is a horse that had a little bit of a winter break and it suited him great. The main worry today was the ground and that's why he had a winter break. We have the spring and summer now to look forward to with him. You'd never know, he could progress even more in the spring time and somewhere along the line he will jump a fence because he loves jumping. It was a lovely pot to win today and he is a lovely horse to have. The smaller field suited him, he likes to be ridden patiently and to be passing horses. Conor thought he was going to win everywhere. He rode him for the first time the last day and he got to know him and it made all the difference today. He gave him a lovely ride and he said he is just a horse who is better following horses and he relaxes a bit more in his race then. It took a while to figure him out, but we got the hang of him and he has been a very consistent horse the last year. The plan was to jump a fence with him, but when he ran so well the other day we thought there might be another good pot in him over hurdles. He seems to have got better with time.

Thurles Thu, 25th Feb, 2021  Mollys Glory I don't ever remember having a runner here!. We bought her out of Denis Cullen's and only have her about six weeks. We bought her for cousins of my wife so it was nice to get that for them as they spent plenty of money on her. Hopefully she is lucky now. I've been following from her run at Navan, and to me she looked like a filly who wanted better ground - that's why I was coming here but it turned out to be the opposite although it was an ideal race for her and we had to take our chance. Jamie says she'll be a lot better on better ground and we might run in the Listed mares' bumper in Fairyhouse on Easter weekend. We'll leave hurdling to next season.

Punchestown Thu, 31st Dec, 2020  Humble Glory The run in Tramore did her the world of good. She will go back hurdling and will be a nice mare over a trip in the spring.

Limerick Wed, 30th Dec, 2020  Moonlight Glory She won here over course and distance and the plan was to come back here six weeks afterwards. She was straightforward and is well bred, is out of a good mare and by the right sire (Fame And Glory) and today was the plan,. We had a super Christmas - we had two winners from five runners and got the tactics wrong on another which finished second.

Thurles Sun, 20th Dec, 2020  Flame Bearer Myself and Donnchadh Doyle owned him when he ran in his point to point and we always knew he was very good but Jack (Doyle, son) got broke up so I sent him to Donnchadh to train,. We were very disappointed the day he was beaten in his point to point when he didn't jump well enough. The horse is not for sale and I own him in partnership with two very good friends.
