Punchestown Wed, 18th Feb, 2026  Keep Twisting Niamh was at the sales and she wanted to buy something to ride and she bought her very cheaply as a foal. It was always her plan to bring her in and race her. She hasn’t done a whole lot of galloping and you can see that today as she was very green. Niamh was determined and the mare knuckled down for her. I’d say she has a pretty big engine. We were surprised because Niamh owns her herself and she hasn’t done a whole lot of galloping, she did one gallop before on grass. They pulled well clear of the third horse there and she could be something very good and something to look forward to. We’re known to sell horses at home too, so she could be for sale. Niamh is a proper amateur and she did well to get her up on the line.

Cork Sun, 23rd Nov, 2025  Grey Jude I hadn't done a lot with him since the last day but knew he was in good form and I was confident that he'd come forward. He is the most honest, straightforward horse although Dan said he wasn't doing a stroke in front. . He is an exciting horse and we're a good bit ahead of where we thought we'd be with him. We thought he was quite backward in the beginning. He has been keeping good company and it is great to get today out of the way. He's only a young horse so I'm in no rush with him as he has done great so far, but we'll have to start thinking ahead now. I'm not worried about heavy ground for him and with more experience, I think he'll go on any ground. I only have two horses, so had a good weekend, although I'll be quiet next week! I'm delighted with the way things are going and I'm off to Newmarket tomorrow looking to buy a yearling. I'll do the best I can with the two horses and see where I go after that.
