Navan Wed, 9th Oct, 2024  Golden Ocean She's gorgeous. Jim Ryan bought her as a yearling and she's an absolute oil painting. She's a beautiful, old-fashioned looking filly and she's bred to look that way. She's out of a three-time Group-1 winner by Galileo. Beautiful temperament and she is very enthusiastic. She's still relatively unexposed. We were learning about her on her first couple of starts. She went home then to Jim's farm for a couple of months and she freshened up lovely and she strengthened up. She grew up and she came back to me in beautiful shape before she won the last day. I'd say she will go a mile and a-quarter next year. She is one that it is nice to go through the grades with because she needs to grow up a little bit. Seamie really likes her and we will look forward to her next year.

Naas Thu, 19th Sep, 2024  Tommy McJohn Winning trainer Michael O'Callaghan: .Dylan said that he got quite unbalanced at one point and he was glad to have the rail. He said he was going away again at the line but he said he wouldn't rush to step up to six furlongs,. He thinks a good stiff five is his trip and he would appreciate a little bit more of an ease, as he changed his legs plenty and felt it a little bit. The top-weight in a nursery are usually the best horse in the race at this time of year. He's a small little horse and did well to carry that weight. Dylan was very good on him.

Punchestown Tue, 17th Sep, 2024  Rockbury Lad It was a lovely ride by Jamie. He's a very frustrating horse, he's a horse that always had loads of ability. The year he was a two-year-old he was one of the best I had, but he got a fracture and then as a three-year-old got a fracture again. He always remembered. Races like that just need to work out for him, where he can be smuggled in and Jamie gave him a peach. The instructions were to ride him for luck and don't get there too soon. I was delighted for Jamie and for the lads who own him. They've persevered with him and he's a good fun horse. They are based in New York. It's only the second win of his life and he deserves to have had more. He wants neither extreme ground-wise and then he's grand for Dundalk during the winter. The handicapper has split his mark, so he's out of the 65s in Dundalk but we'll see what he does.
