Fairyhouse Sat, 10th Oct, 2026  Streamhill Probably tomorrow evening we might go for a few drinks and celebrate, you’d have to celebrate your first winner anyway. A lot of things were in her favour today, the ground was good and it was a small field. Grace is a brilliant rider, she got the bit of luck in running and gave her a brilliant ride today. She’s a lovely mare, she just likes that good sod. I’m delighted for Grace, she’s a very hard working girl and a very capable rider. It’s her father Donal’s mare. She had a couple of good runs and a middling run in Galway on soft ground, we knew we could draw a line through that. Things went her way today, she got a bit of light and Grace just gave her a great ride. It’s her first winner and hopefully there are many more to come. I’d say she’ll be a nice mare for hurdles, over two-and-a-half miles, and fences as well. Please-God she’ll go on from this now and win another race or two.

Fairyhouse Mon, 5th Oct, 2026  Well Bud He’s a lovely horse. I think we were getting him wrong, tactically, earlier in the summer,. We changed tactics and he’s run a lot better on his last two runs. I thought he was a little bit unlucky in the bumper at Listowel, he got shuffled back and the winner got first run. He’s a lovely horse going forward and he’ll make a nice chaser. Jack Kennedy gave him a peach, he’s an unbelievable rider and it’s great when you can get him. Once he’s okay in the morning, we’ll have a look at what’s coming up, but you’d be more looking forward to going chasing with him next summer.

Galway Fri, 31st Jul, 2026  Kings Hill On home soil, it's lovely to win here,. . This race has been good to us, it's the third time we have won it. We hunted with the Blazers as we grew up. My kids hunted with the Blazers. They are all involved at home, and it's a credit to them really. My name is only on the licence, it's a real team effort. . I'd love to think he would have been a Galway Plate horse. We might look at that next year. He's very versatile ground-wise. I've probably had this in mind since Jack (Gilligan, son) won on him in Limerick. It was all about today and we'll see from here. It means an awful lot to us. We drew a blank here last year, and you'd be like a briar when you go home. . I would say we'll work back from the Galway Plate next year. Horses for courses. He's a course and distance winner now, so we'll strongly consider it.
