Dundalk Sat, 12th Jul, 2025  Sidney Reilly A big horse. We actually thought a bit of him - maybe we were thinking about higher entries but, once you have missed those targets, it was unnecessary to keep him a colt so we just gelded him. He actually got struck into after that race (in Cork) and that's what the delay was. A lovely big horse and we did expect something of him and he duly delivered. Green enough too, so plenty to learn but a nice performance.

Leopardstown Thu, 10th Jul, 2025  Sounds Like A Plan That’s great, Chris gave him a lovely ride and it more or less went to plan,. We had him highly enough entered this year and we just had a bit of a set-back early on. It’s great to get him back on the front foot. He saw out the trip well. He’s out of a very fast mare, and he works like a fast horse at home, so you never quite know. We thought we’d start him off over six this year and he had a very nice run at Fairyhouse. His run at Naas was a bit of a puzzle to us but he possibly bounced on the second run after the long lay-off. We decided to step him up in trip and he worked very well at the start of the week so we thought we were in fair shape coming into today. We haven’t looked any further forward than this but we’re coming to the time of year when the three-year-olds can compete in all types of things. He saw out the trip well so it gives us options. He’s a fast horse and we thought he could go either way. He hit the line fairly hard there so you’d like to think you have plenty of options. Ground-wise he’s fairly versatile as well. That’s quick ground but as always here it’s very safe. He handled that well and he can also go with a little bit of ease.

Curragh Fri, 27th Jun, 2025  Our Friend Mouse He’s a lovely big horse, but very big. He had a very nice debut run but was green,. Billy have him a perfect ride, arrived at the right time but when he got there he was just a wee bit green again. When he was coming I thought ‘he’ll win this a length’ but the second rallied and put it up to our horse. I’m delighted with that. I didn’t come here to get beaten, I was very hopeful we’d win and the race went perfectly to plan. The two favourites were battled hardened horses and I knew experience would probably be our stumbling block but he overcame that and it was a very nice run. He is a big horse and we minded him last year for that reason. He is filling out and I think he has improved physically since his last run. His future is yet to come. We haven’t made any plans beyond this and we’ll see what turns up.
