Ballinrobe Mon, 22nd Jul, 2019  Formula One Shane said he wasn't going to argue with him so he just left him on,. Hopefully that'll act as a big confidence booster for him and it'll be on to Galway and Listowel. The soft ground is key with him.

Leopardstown Sun, 12th May, 2019  King's Vow He won well. The form of the race in Navan worked out well and that was a good race I'd say. It was an extremely messy race. Donnacha moved up halfway and it made plenty of sense, he could strike then whenever he wanted.

Cork Fri, 10th May, 2019  Brogue he is a nice, raw horse and has plenty to learn. He is a beautifully bred colt and hopefully there will be plenty improvement to come. Oisin rode him very nicely and we'll look for a winners' of one next.

Navan Sun, 28th Apr, 2019  Master Of Reality He had good form in France and I thought he would need the run. Wayne (Lordan) kept it nice and simple on him because he is an uncomplicated horse. He stays and goes well and is a well-bred horse. He had two ordinary runs for me last year but it is hard swapping mid-season from France to here. We gave him time and I'm delighted for Lloyd and Nick. They sent him to me with a big reputation and it didn't work out last year and they gave us another chance with him. We'll have to train him for a Gold Cup now. He stays and he is going to come on a bit for the run I'd say. We'll see what happens. He's an uncomplicated horse. He had been working well but to be honest I didn't think he was fit enough for his first run, I thought he would come on a bit from it. It is probably testament to his attitude to tough it out.
