Punchestown Sat, 6th Jun, 2026  Le Grand Vert He had been running well,. He was fourth last time when the wee girl in the yard (Erin Dunseath) rode him and he ran a fair race for her. He probably just needs a staying track and the rain today, and the softer ground, suited him. He’s not fast and he’s probably not that genuine. but on slow ground when somebody takes him on, he can plug away. I told Carl to ride him as he finds him. He jumped well, I thought he made a couple of slight mistakes watching on TV but he said he jumped brilliantly. I told him to sit quiet, keep filling him up, and see how he goes. We bought him out of a claimer and he’s won three for us so we can’t complain. If every horse did that, you’d be okay.

Killarney Sat, 9th May, 2026  Sainte Lucie Sainte Lucie was coming back in trip but I’d say she will be going back out again, as I wasn’t able to go the gallop. I thought the others were gone but the cheekpieces definitely worked, and she stayed galloping. It wasn’t until halfway up the home straight that I thought I’d catch Break My Soul and my mare came with a good run. We thought a lot of her as a juvenile and she is only now starting to put it together.
