Punchestown Mon, 17th Jan, 2022  Knockanard Lady I've been trying to have a track winner for a while and I asked Dad for one thing this year and that was a winner on the track, so he delivered!. It is a brilliant place to ride my first winner so I couldn't ask for much more. she has done it well and we thought if she was fit enough, she's be good enough. She was and should be a good one to go forward. I wanted to track Patrick Mullins (on favourite Brookline) the whole way and when I gave her a squeeze, she really picked up and went away to the line.

Punchestown Mon, 17th Jan, 2022  Gain De Cause luck was with us today and the handicapper got it spot on. It worked out well and he got a leap at the last and that was the winning of it, which was great. He's a big horse and you'd hope chasing will be his job down the road.

Tramore Sat, 1st Jan, 2022  Bridge Street I’m delighted, a homebred winner. She was one of three horses that JP (McManus) bought and now the three of them have won. She showed a good attitude on the run-in. I put a tongue tie on her today and it didn’t seem to do her any harm. I was very pleased the way she stayed on, I thought she was very brave and resolute. It looks like she could stay a bit further and hopefully she will improve with experience.

Leopardstown Wed, 29th Dec, 2021  The Nice Guy That's tremendous for Patrick to win the four bumpers, it's a good thing he's on our team and we don't have to pitch up against him everyday,. I thought we had a real good bumper team, and I think Patrick felt the same, so we're very happy. We were going to go jumping but he would have to take on Sir Gerhard, Kilcruit or something like that as the hurdles are just so hot so we looked at a winners bumper. I thought we'd stick him in here and see what it turns out like. I'm delighted to get two bumpers out of him, he's six turning seven so he'll probably go jumping in the New Year. He's just been a bit weak, every time I got stuck into him he faded away a little bit and it's taken all this time for him to mature. He's probably more a hurdler than a chaser.

Limerick Sun, 26th Dec, 2021  Rebel Ivy it was pretty straightforward and the ground wasn't soft enough for her the last day. She wants proper soft ground and I thought the ground today would be a massive help and I told Donie to keep it simple and follow the leaders. She is a nice filly, we own her ourselves and if we could nick a bit of black-type down the line it would be great. She is nicely bred and will jump a fence as well.

Thurles Sun, 19th Dec, 2021  Dorans Weir She is a nice one to have and is a well-bred mare as well. She is very honest, did it well and he said she was very green. She jumps well and we got the bonus (to win a bumper) today. I had a lot of luck for Tom (Doran, owner) and it is great to have him back and great for her to win. This is a proper mare.

Punchestown Sun, 5th Dec, 2021  Sandor Clegane It’s virtually the same owners as Latest Exhibition and we’re delighted today the way he did it. He was very professional and hopefully he’ll kick on. He schools well. We’ll probably go for a winners’ bumper. He’s a fine big horse and hopefully he stays trouble free. It’s been a horrible week. They have been tremendously lucky colours for us and great people. It’s great to win for them after what happened last week.

Punchestown Sun, 5th Dec, 2021  Gain De Cause The experience he got in Cork the last day and the extra trip helped him. It’s great that it’s worked out and he’s got his day in the sun. We’ll keep tipping away and find something similar for him.

Navan Sat, 4th Dec, 2021  Commander Of Fleet It was a good performance. He was a good horse back in the day. To be honest I was worried he had a lot of weight but he did it well. I was very happy with him. He was running well the last day before he fell so that's great. We might try and qualify him for the Pertemps now.

Fairyhouse Sat, 27th Nov, 2021  The Nice Guy He was in training all of last season and that really stood to him. He looked very fit in the ring and he’s a light-framed horse that liked that ground. He’s six so I’d imagine he might go jumping now rather than a winners’ bumper. I just wonder whether he’s going to be a real middle of winter horse. He could be a nice one to look forward to in the spring.

Thurles Thu, 18th Nov, 2021  Humble Glory In fairness to her she was unlucky one day in Clonmel (in the lead when fell at the last) but it was grand she got her head in front. She was tough and Davy gave her a good ride.

Limerick Tue, 16th Nov, 2021  Robyndeglory That was great. Her form in maiden hurdles was very good and to be fair to the handicapper, he held her at 102 when she was just always knocking at the door. She’s been called a lot of names by lads backing her at short prices, but the visor has changed her. And this is great for Neil O’Mahony (owner) because he’s my main supporter. He’d have four or five in the yard the whole time.

Galway Sat, 23rd Oct, 2021  Da Capo Glory That's my first winner and I got the restricted trainers' license in April. I have three in training and I worked with Thomas O'Leary (trainer) years ago and with my cousin James Dullea. I'm based in Timoleague and this is a hobby at the moment but I wouldn't rule out getting bigger in the future. It's not my day job yet!. We've had super luck with Darragh and he rode our two point-to-point winners and there are five of us in the syndicate, four are west Cork-based and another is in London. He had two good runs in the spring but were half-worried coming here because some of the others had a run and we didn't. He has an engine though and should make a smashing hurdler.

Punchestown Wed, 13th Oct, 2021  Embittered It was probably a bit sharp for him the last day (at Roscommon) and they got him out of his comfort zone halfway around. The extra few furlongs today suited him. He jumped lovely today and I thought he won the race by taking the other horse on a long way out. He tends to jump a bit left at times but he jumped pretty straight today. Bryan gave him a lovely ride. Brendan Powell, representing

Fairyhouse Sat, 9th Oct, 2021  Ambitious Fellow He put out a couple of splints after his first run (last December) and we are only getting him back going now.

Killarney Sun, 3rd Oct, 2021  Robyndeglory She was probably never going to get beaten to be fair, but she'd want further. She wants 2m6f but this was a grand opportunity. She is lairy and would have been better with a lead. As soon as I pass a fitness test, in ten days time, I'll be turning professional.

Listowel Wed, 22nd Sep, 2021  Choir Practice The race broke up a good bit. We had her in Galway at the races but didn’t run her because we thought the ground was too good and then when the race opened up as it did we said we’d let her take her chance. It’s drying out again compared with yesterday.
