Curragh Thu, 15th Oct, 2026  Jabreen He's a nice horse. He probably wants seven (furlongs) or a mile, but he worked so well last week we said we'd run him over six (furlongs). I think he's very useful. Niall Ryan is representing the owner (Almishrab Racing) who is from Dubai. I've never met the man.

Curragh Sat, 26th Sep, 2026  Saxony Charms It was a good performance. We just employed different tactics today and things worked out,. She’s a filly that has been knocking on the door and has been slightly frustrating but Gary got it right today. She got to the front, he got a nice breather into her, and she stayed well. She hit the line strong. She worked like a nice filly earlier in the year and ran well on her first day, when we thought she was possible a bit unlucky. Then she repeated the same thing a couple of times afterwards so it was a wee bit frustrating. She works well from the front at home so we decided to change things and get her to the front today.

Galway Tue, 8th Sep, 2026  Leadlight He was a little bit unfortunate the last day, so it was good to get compensation and he was very strong coming up the hill today. This looked a better race on paper, although I don't know how deep it was. He has a rating of 80 and I don't know if he has gone much beyond that, but he stays very well. He is still a baby, he'll be a middle-distance horse next year and should continue to progress with racing. He'd love that ground and I'd say we'll get as many runs in as we can before the end of the season. Kevin Blake, representing

Naas Mon, 3rd Aug, 2026  Zheleznaya Dama She deserved that, she’s been running really well,. said Duke. I might have made a mistake turning her out quickly at Killarney. It’s so difficult with these low-grade horses finding races for them. A mile is her trip. I thought I might get away with six-and-a-half in Limerick and it probably cost me the race in Killarney. It was a little bit quick turnaround. I thought she ran her heart out in Killarney. I kind of have it in my head for her, the juvenile hurdle on the 27th of December in Leopardstown. I won it with Leagan Gaeilge (2019). She’s a very good jumper and she would appreciate an ease in the ground. If I want to go to Leopardstown on Amy’s (daughter) birthday I need to have a fairly good reason. We’re having a good run at the moment, thank God, it’s a big relief. People are actually thinking that I’m not a complete muppet now at the moment!

Down Royal Sat, 20th Jun, 2026  Chica Guerrera It is great to see her rewarded. She has been running well in good pots and good handicaps as well. She was always going to do that, win a decent pot and it is great we got it today. The lads (Trouble & Strife Syndicate) came up from Kilkenny. It is great for them and she is a good filly. They enjoy her and knock good craic out of her. Ronan was excellent on her, and he is after twinning the Derby and the Oaks!. We'll see where we go after that, there's plenty of those fillies' handicaps as well too. We will try and keep her to them if we can, see what the handicapper does. She did win well, but she loves that ground. She has won in Gowran Park on soft ground, and she has won on a cut in the ground in Tramore as well. When everything falls right for her, she can be good. She was third in a premier handicap and was placed a good few times, and she is a good, sound filly.
