Leopardstown Thu, 25th Jul, 2024  Hotazhell That was nice, he's a nice colt,. He quickened up well, they went a good old gallop the whole way. He's tough and he'll probably just have one more run this year. He had to do it the hard way because he had to go and catch the pacemaker and then go away from him. Shane was thinking the other horse would come to him and take him along but it didn't and he had to go and commit. He'll go a mile, probably even this year. I don't think we'll go to the National Stakes, I'd say we'll wait for something over a mile in September. We've got two nice milers and we'll keep them well apart!

Leopardstown Thu, 25th Jul, 2024  Green Impact It’s great to get that, he’s a lovely horse. He’s the first horse that (owner) Marc Chan has ever bred, so he’s very excited. He’s a very laid-back horse, a big horse, and he’s probably a little bit on the weak side still. We’ll give him a bit of time and we probably won’t be going anywhere in a hurry. There are plenty of mile races in the autumn. He’s got some entries. We’ll see how he comes out of this and go from there. Whatever he does now, he’s going to get better.

Ballinrobe Mon, 22nd Jul, 2024  Presence It's a couple of years since I've been here but I love Ballinrobe. I love the racetrack, it's always a good atmosphere here and they do a wonderful job. It's no wonder that they've won Racecourse of the Year twice. The rain that fell probably played to her strengths and, also, the trainer kind of got it wrong, I was running her over a little bit far and bringing her back to a mile and one and a bit is obviously what she likes. I don't think this was the strongest of maidens but she did it well and will go for a handicap now, preferably a fillies' only handicap. (Owner/breeder) Harriet Jellett had never been to Ballinrobe before, so she did the driving and I did the navigating!

Leopardstown Thu, 18th Jul, 2024  Va Va Vroom She did it in good style, which was great and she's a lovely filly,. She's a fine big strong filly. I'm delighted with that. She's still learning on the job. We've got some nice entries, she's in the Debutante and has an entry in France. She's also got a Moyglare entry as well. Stepping up to a mile will be no problem to her.

Navan Sat, 13th Jul, 2024  It'sonlyjustbegun In Roscommon she just missed the kick, she got upset in the stalls and missed the kick. Around there, she couldn't get into it. I'd love him (Kennedy) to win it (apprentice title) this year. Every time she hung a bit, he straightened her up. He's very good and he is a lovely lad. Shane (Foley) hits him over the head practically every morning!. I'll see where we go, but she will step up in class a bit now. I think she will get a mile and a-half. She's a very big filly and I just think 'give her a bit of time'.

Bellewstown Fri, 5th Jul, 2024  Comic Book The step up in trip really suited and I'm delighted with that. She stayed every yard and she really showed guts and determination towards the end. We always thought a lot of her and we had no extremes in ground today. Probably the two times she ran in Leopardstown was a bit too quick for her. It is beautiful ground there today and fair play to the team at Bellewstown who do an absolutely fantastic job. She's a lovely filly and I hope we keep progressing forward. We put her in a Stakes race in France during the week. She could take her chance in that. She is a gorgeous filly and has a beautiful pedigree. It is great to get one on the board for Zhang Yuesheng.
