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.

Killarney Fri, 17th Jul, 2026  Ladies Well She’s been working better. We brought her over to Kelso and she jumped terrible, but the schooling did her good over there. She got no run the last day. She’s a much-improved mare this year. She jumped from fence to fence, and he said she loved it. She’s in at Wexford next Wednesday and she may go there again. If she’s alright, I don’t see why not.

Killarney Thu, 16th Jul, 2026  Caislean Gear He was the victim of the ground the last day in Limerick and it didn’t go according to plan. We were disappointed on the day, but there was a genuine reason why he didn’t go forward from his first run to his second. The ground was a lot nicer today and he jumped out and kept everything simple. We’ll enjoy today and make a plan during the week, whether we go for a winners' bumper or go for a maiden hurdle. He likes good ground and is very straightforward. We’ll enjoy him.

Thu, 16th Jul, 2026  Loughrea We held him up today, just to learn a bit. I entered him in the Galway Mile there yesterday and that's where we'll go I'd say. He's learning the whole time. He was a bit green in the Curragh and learned a good bit there. His work has improved since then, and I think he'll improve again. Hopefully he does anyway, it's only his third run. The Galway Mile is a big ask, I suppose, for an inexperienced horse, but he seems to have it.
