A Oliver

Down Royal Fri, 17th Jul, 2026  Youcansaythatagain He's a nice horse. He was a very late foal and we had to just take our time with him, but he has a very nice pedigree. We always thought there was something in the tank, so we never really pushed too hard. This year he has come to himself and we think there is more to come. He's a horse that seems to be improving all the time, great attitude at home and is thriving really well. Very green (on debut) and even there when Billy pulled him out, he was a bit green and ran about a bit, but straightened himself and come home. Actually looked to have won it nicely enough in the end.

He did that nicely and might have had a wee bit in hand at the end! Billy gave him a lovely ride. A big horse and you would hope that he develops into it.

Down Royal Sat, 20th Jun, 2026  Charm Of Venice She's just physically improving. She's quite a tall filly and she just is coming into herself. She had a bit of an accident prior to racing at Naas the last time (in late April) and had to be taken out of the race. It delayed her a bit. She was declared the last time for 10 furlongs, so we thought 10 was her trip. She has run well at Dundalk, so I don't think she is ground dependent, but she did handle that. I was delighted with it. We were seeing that at home, so we wanted to make sure it came to the racecourse.
