Cork Wed, 18th May, 2022  Shawaamekh I got him on the recommendation of Declan Carroll and David Nolan (jockey) as his owner was replacing him with yearlings and thankfully he gave me a call and I've loved him since the day he came in the yard,. He is a lovely big strong brute of a horse and ran well in all his races for Declan last year when he had a few unlucky stories. Declan rang this morning and gave Donagh the instructions so I had no real part in it!. I'd love to find something in York for him if he continues to go the right way as he has run well there in the past. There is a good bunch of lads involved, Ross Howard, John O'Riordan, Tom Lynch and Jason McGannon so I'm delighted to get a winner for them.

Leopardstown Sat, 5th Feb, 2022  A Wave Of The Sea He jumped savage today, we put the blinkers on, and Shane (Fitzgerald) gave him a great ride,. I'm delighted to get a winner here this weekend, I thought we might struggle so it's great to get one. He's not especially well handicapped but he's a good tough horse and he turns up and runs his race. What he did today that maybe he hasn't done previously is jump great. He has a mistake in him but he jumped fantastic today and the blinkers probably helped him. He's a very solid horse, from the time he was a four-year-old and the whole way through. We'll to speak to JP and Frank but he might be one that could win a good pot at home while some other people are gone over (to Cheltenham). We'll see what they want to do.

Dundalk Wed, 19th Jan, 2022  Adamaris Rory gave him a beautiful ride, we just told him to give him plenty of cover and once he goes for him to make up his mind. He did it nicely enough in the end. We'll look for another race over a mile-and-six or two miles up here. He has schooled over hurdles, and run over hurdles, but I'm kind of afraid to run him in case we do damage to him because there are plenty of Flat races in him.
