Denis Gerard Hogan

Cork Sun, 14th Jun, 2026  Sarahmae I hadn’t ridden her much at home but Denis had told me that she had a chance here today. I hadn’t ridden her in a race for a while either and she had been missing the break, so he told me to get her out of the stalls. I would actually have won further but she didn’t do a whole lot in front, and that’s just her. I think she is in-foal to Blackbeard and they had also mentioned the Rockingham for her as a possibility next.

Wed, 3rd Jun, 2026  Meriden That was brilliant, you are always taking a chance when you go back quick. She was so well on Monday morning I said to Patrick (O’Brien) that we had to run her, that she’d love the Curragh and she’d probably sharpen up for the run again. She looks an improver. She was well bought by Patrick, he picked her out himself at the July Sale last year. She has a lovely pedigree, so will do two jobs. We got held up a little bit with her at the start and had to wait to January to start training her. She ran a lovely race first time here in a maiden and she’s just found her feet now. She’s obviously come up through the handicap well. There is a lovely race for her here on Derby weekend, a fillies’ only seven-furlong handicap. It looks made for her so I’d say that will be her next stop.
