Fairyhouse Tue, 13th Apr, 2021  Mary's Pride That's brilliant. We bought this fella last year for €3,700 for Laura. She's been riding since she was a 12-year-old and is going to college,. She's also been riding out for Lorna Fowler and has been a great help to me. Her mother passed away three years ago and the horse is named after her. These are the days for small trainers like me. For me to produce him first time out and to give her her first winner is one of the best days I've had for a long time. We've only five horses and this is a fantastic day, it's what racing is all about for a small trainer. I'm so excited for her. We're farmers and I foal some mares as well, especially for Lorna Fowler. Douglas Taylor is my main man, I pre-train for him before the horses are sent to Willie's and Gordon's. We only train a few but we enjoy it. We had that horse broken and riding in three days. I rang Harry Fowler because I thought he was broken but he wasn't. We brought him to the beach and he walked out up to his ears in water. He's just been a special horse for a special girl. Today is a great day.

Fairyhouse Sun, 3rd Jan, 2021  Whatdeawant It was a nice performance and nice to have a winner for Bernardine and Sean Mulryan,. He looks smarter on the racetrack than he does at home, that'll do me. I'd imagine he'll go for a winners or we could go straight to Cheltenham with him. Patrick was very happy with his performance.

Punchestown Fri, 11th Dec, 2020  Hes A Hardy Bloke He’s a nice horse and hopefully will continue to improve. He jumps fences well, he won a point-to-point. He handled the ground ok. We had to hobday him after his first run when he pulled up in Leopardstown. He was beaten by a good horse in the north last time and we put a tongue tie on him today. We’ll try and find a rated novice for him. He did well to pick up on that ground after a mistake at the last.
