Downpatrick Mon, 15th Jul, 2019  Construct He was good to go out first time out and make it, it takes a fair horse to do it. He was a little bit novicey, but he has that class that he could be a bit novicey and still beat that field. It might not have been the best maiden hurdle ever run, but you would think there's a lot of improvement and better days for him. He's a fine, big horse and he probably hasn't even come to himself yet. I looked at him today and thought he's only fit now. We won't over-race him, he likes that ground so we will keep him going for the next couple of months and then give him a break. He might end up in Galway on the Monday. It will be baby steps with him because he is a baby. Even when he came into the ring he was green as grass with the big crowd. He was good out there and I was delighted with that. We bought him last October in the Horses In Training Sale and we schooled him a good bit - we had Triumph Hurdle aspirations and he even got an entry in it, but we just said we would leave him a novice until next year. He schooled around the Curragh with Hannon and Pearl Of The West a couple of times and then we schooled him a good bit for the EasyFix hurdles because they are a different kettle of fish. We knew he jumped well enough and I was hoping his Flat rating would translate because I think his Flat rating is a fair reflection and he could even be better than his Flat rating.

Tipperary Tue, 4th Jun, 2019  Lustful She had a nice run for us the first day in a competitive race at Gowran and came forward from that and the bit of juice in the ground is a help to her. She goes back to Six Perfections and it is a great pedigree and she was bought for breeding. The aim was to get her to win and she'll be covered next year. We'll try and win a couple with her and try to win as much prize money as we can.

Roscommon Mon, 13th May, 2019  Construct He’s hard on himself. He’s quite keen and was in England as well. I might put a hood on him. He’s not keen at home but he lights up in his races,.

Limerick Sun, 31st Mar, 2019  Star Max He had a disappointing run the last day in Cheltenham when we thought he'd run a bit better but he jumped well today and Rachael gave him a lovely ride,. He could go on for a Graded race at Fairyhouse next as we have nothing to lose and see how we go.
