Down Royal Fri, 8th Sep, 2023  Velvet Skies I was actually a little disappointed the last day (in fifth at the Curragh), I thought we would have been closer. He's still learning on the job. He is going for the Sportsman's sales race on Thursday (at Naas), so hopefully he will improve again. I'd say he is versatile enough over six and seven. Wesley is a good jockey.

Navan Sat, 2nd Sep, 2023  Lia Fail Wesley said she is still a little green, but he said he didn't have to go for the whip with her. It got very close, but the handicapper has it near enough right. There was very little distance between any of them. She's entered for next week in another rated race (Cork on Wednesday), it is the same conditions as this one so we will wait and see how we go on. We'll see how she is and we might have another go. I'm delighted for Wesley, always trying to get him back on the right road. He is such a nice young fella. When he was with us, I couldn't say enough about him. He deserves everything he gets.

Navan Thu, 31st Aug, 2023  Bid For Chester He fired a warning shot the other day and Chris (Hayes) came in and said he was a bit green when he went for him. When he came through them today the hill suited him. Hopefully now he'll go to the sales race, the Goffs Sportman's Challenge in Naas on September 14th. That was the plan all year.
