Navan Wed, 20th Oct, 2021  Elanora that was long overdue. I was a bit worried the five (furlongs) might be a bit short for her but the blinkers really sharpened her up today. I can’t believe this filly hadn’t won. She’s broken my heart as she works over everything at home. She’s a sister to Texas Rock (a dual Listed winner for the trainer) and it took a while for the penny to drop with him so maybe it might be the same for her. We’ll put her away and find a route for her next year. We always thought she was a Stakes filly and that’s where we would like to end up but she’s still well handicapped. It wasn’t the strongest of races but it’s nothing that she hasn’t shown us at home. The blinkers really worked as she was really on it. We’ve had a good year and she’s the only one that I was disappointed that hadn’t won.

Dundalk Fri, 24th Sep, 2021  No Trouble We knew he’d run well and he was unlucky last time in Galway where he got blocked everywhere. The time before that he was coming back off a break and was too keen and fresh,.

Naas Thu, 16th Sep, 2021  Red Lacewing She ran well the last day in Navan and is probably going to be a sprinter.

Galway Mon, 6th Sep, 2021  Hammersmith That's a long time coming. When I sold him to the owners (Michael and John O’Flynn) I didn't think we'd be waiting this long for him to win a maiden hurdle. Michael O'Flynn was very nice to him the other evening after he ran in the north as he called him a rogue while I was being a bit stronger!. We'll probably have to stay away from the Flat. He had two wind-ops and his old confidence has gone. His work has always been very good and maybe he might get a bit of confidence back after that. Obviously he wants real nice ground. He's a fine big horse that jumps fabulous and we'll try and find him a little winners race somewhere. There might be something in Listowel. It'll get a bit tougher with him from here but it's nice to go and win a maiden eventually.

Curragh Sat, 17th Jul, 2021  Swift One All his maidens worked out well and we always liked him at home,. He was quite well fancied on a couple of his runs and we were a little disappointed, but I was looking back at the form and all the races worked out well. He won nicely today. Maybe he just ran in some good races and he showed today what we've seen at home. He'll have no problem going seven but he's definitely quick enough for six. He has plenty of options. He won off 71 today so we'll go for another nursery and take it from there. There is a seven-furlong nursery in Galway we could go to.
