Downpatrick Sun, 14th Jun, 2026  Malbay Madness Paddy said to me that he seems to be improving with every run. He was keen today, but finished out the race well. That's what we thought (go well at another undulating track as his previous wins were in Kilbeggan) - as Paddy said to me there, he travelled well and felt stronger than the last day he rode him. Obviously, he is improving too. He's moving up (in the weights) and we will see what the man (handicapper) does tomorrow, but I thought coming here he was in good nick. Find good ground and an undulating track and go from there. They are all running well and they all seem to like nice ground. We have been waiting on a bit of nice ground, so it has been working well for us.

Kilbeggan Fri, 15th May, 2026  Malbay Madness He had a good run the last day and improved from it,. Paddy said he crept into it quietly. He missed the third last but he said he grabbed a hold of it again and away with him. I’m delighted for Paddy as well as he got a bad injury last year in American and missed four months. It’s great to get him started again as he’s with me a good while. I’ve a lot of summer horses and they seem to like top of the ground, long may it last. This fella likes here for some reason, he’s after winning three here now. We’ll have to keep bringing him back here.

Limerick Thu, 16th Apr, 2026  Fly Away Home She had been ultra-consistent and that's her level. It is great to get it as she was being rewarded for her consistency. The ground and trip suited, and everything was right. She was super fit and had plenty runs. A share of the syndicate were involved in a good horse with me, Cloudy Bays, years ago and while they left me for a few years, they're back again. She wants soft ground so I don't know if she will run again, but to get the win was the main thing. I bred her and had her grandam Barnearrig Lass, who was nearly my first runner (in 1994). She got a 'leg', but afterwards I bred off her as the Pollerton mares were supposed to be good to breed from.
