Curragh Sun, 22nd May, 2022  Additional I thought he might win the first day in Naas (second to Blairmayne) but he probably needed it. He was very fresh and keen. He’s a lovely horse but was just a bit buzzy, and I thought if we could get a handle on him then he could win one of these. I’m delighted as it’s the biggest race I’ve won and it’s great for my uncle John who has been very supportive. He’s tricky to ride at home and David Mason has done a really good job with him. He may have got there a wee bit too soon but he was very game. Hopefully he gains some confidence from that because he was burning out over in England. He’s bred to be a good horse.

Gowran Park Wed, 4th May, 2022  Rumbles Of Thunder She's a nice filly. She came from France in December and I'd say she was only ready to run in the Noblesse. She was a little bit fresh as we were just trying to strengthen her and get her there. I was hoping she'd do something like that today. That seemed to go well over that trip. Colin said she'd be suited by a better race. We'll find a Group 3 for her now and see if we can keep progressing. She's very uncomplicated, easy to train and has a lovely attitude.

Gowran Park Wed, 4th May, 2022  Georgeta It's grand to get that out of the way, she was entitled to do that on her last run. We dropped her back to seven and she can go either seven or a mile, she has enough pace for seven and she stuck it out well on that ground. She's very genuine, we'll take her home and make a plan now.

Cork Sat, 16th Apr, 2022  Thunder Kiss she is a class filly, is a year older and has really matured, The boss has just told me we will aim her high, at Group 2s and 1s, and she has all the proper entries. She excels on a cut in the ground, albeit she has won at Dundalk. Colin was very happy with her, they didn't take her far enough in the race and she took it up two (furlongs) out but she can look around. In a higher class race, they'll go quicker and take her to the line. We are really going to have fun with her, we're not asking to win the big races but if she is placed in them we'll take that now. She is in the Tattersalls Gold Cup and could go there next. She had been training really well and it was a good performance to give weight to everything.

Curragh Sat, 26th Mar, 2022  Raadobarg two weeks ago if you said would I get him ready, I thought he mightn’t get there. He’s a big horse and takes his work really well. His last two bits of work, he’s really tightened up — we had brought him to Walsh’s Hill (on the Curragh) where the ground was soft. Ben said he travelled really nice through the race. He felt really good and quickened up well. It was only his last piece of work that I was pretty confident he was nearly there. He should improve a little bit fitness wise. I only have him about five or six weeks and he could be a Stakes horse in the making. He came in good shape and he’ll probably always want a little juice (in the ground). He’s got that big powerful action. Robson (Aguiar) is looking after all AMO’s horses with his team in Westmeath. Carrytheone (finished fifth) ran well with ten stone. He’s a horse that could go for the Royal Hunt Cup - the Australian crew (Any Excuse For A Holiday Syndicate) want to come back for Ascot.

Curragh Sat, 26th Mar, 2022  Perfect Thunder I’m delighted for the owner who had Thundering Nights, another filly by Night Of Thunder, and if this one progresses half as far as her, we will be happy. It’s nice to get a good start to the season. She had good form last year and we thought she would run well. I’d say it was a very competitive maiden as you would expect and it’s great to get on the board. We’ll see how she comes out of this and I’d imagine she will step into a Stakes race next.
