Killarney Thu, 20th Aug, 2026  Ladies Well We were hoping they'd go a good gallop as she stays going and she did that well. This is her grade and she is doing well at the moment. Cian Quirke and Philly Donovan are our regular jump riders but they both seem to get injured at the same time. We are very lucky to have Darragh (O'Keeffe) and Danny Gilligan as replacements, so we're never scarce for options. The syndicate is headed by former Tipperary hurler Lar Corbett, who previously had Mrs Crogh's Bar. They are a great group from Thurles, and include another Tipperary hurler Ger 'Redser' O'Grady.

Tramore Sat, 15th Aug, 2026  Preparations She was very unlucky to be carried out. Sam was very good on her. He was very cool on her after it happened. He just let her get her own rhythm and get back into the race. He didn't panic going up the hill, he just waited until they got to the top and tried to creep back into it. It was brilliant watching the finish. We didn't mind which one won! She will go back over hurdles as well. We'll try find a similar contest to this one for the other mare.

Galway Sat, 1st Aug, 2026  Faoladh We got his palate cauterised a month ago but he has run absolutely terribly since and we only ran here as the lads (owners) wanted a runner, as they were staying up. He ran on Tuesday night when he didn't stay and the ground was too soft, but was due to be dropped 2lb and I said we may as well run again. It was a surprise but is great and he isn't a bad horse at his best. Adam gave him a brilliant ride as well. The two (syndicate) lads, Donie O'Connell, who won two hurling All Irelands for Tipperary, and his friend Pat Leahy, are knocking a fair bit of fun out of him and are with me a long time now. They started off with (12-time winner) An Saighdiur and still have the interest, which is great.
