Curragh Sun, 24th May, 2026  Great Barrier Reef We pitched him into a deep piece of work the last day at home, which he got a bit lost in, so we weren’t sure if there was a reason but there wasn’t. He came out of the work very well and fresh but we weren’t sure about today. Ryan said he was very green in the stalls and that he missed the break, so gave him a chance in the first part of the race. He said he flew home, but that he had to get hold of him and to teach him. He is obviously very high-class and should get seven (furlongs). If he comes out of this OK, we could let him go to the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot and you would have to be very happy with him. Wayne (Lordan, on Carry The Flag) let his horse roll along and his horse will be very happy going back to five (furlongs).

Naas Sat, 9th May, 2026  Carry The Flag He obviously had a lovely run the first day on very different ground. Coming here, we hoped he'd win and, in fairness, he got the job done. . Wayne felt just on the quicker ground, it's probably the quickest ground he's ever been on even at home, he just couldn't get fully traction, he's just rolling around. When the other filly came on his outside it really helped him. He'll put himself in the Ascot mix now and, we'll see how he progresses and, where he fits in. Jack's filly (Cleary, on Sun Goddess) is a lovely filly too. We'll try and get one more run into her and, hopefully she turns into an Ascot filly too.

Naas Mon, 27th Apr, 2026  Mission Central We were delighted. He’s obviously a fast horse. . We thought that he could be a King’s Stand horse, so we’ll see now. He has loads of speed. It was a good effort first time out in a good race. It was a nice race for him.

Dundalk Fri, 23rd Jan, 2026  Autocrat He ran last Friday here and we thought he should have been winning it. He should have been more than capable for tonight. Colin was looking for the ride on him and available, so we put him on. It is not often you get a man of his calibre. He has done it well, but he keeps a bit for himself. He was down with Dick Donohoe, and he was on a break for a while. We gave him a couple of weeks off and just brought him back (last week). If he is claimed, that is the nature of the game.
