Wexford Fri, 30th Aug, 2024  Stormy Master He is an older horse now and has his own way of doing things. We just said we'd keep going with him and that he'd fall into one someday and today was the day for him. He won around here last year and he has a bit of ability. Some days he might be on a going day and today he was. I've five winners left now before I lose the (3lb) claim.

Sligo Wed, 21st Aug, 2024  Morricone He's a very game horse and battled back well. On winter ground he's okay over two miles but it's a bit sharp for him when the ground is better, and he gets this trip well. He missed his prep for Galway when the ground was too quick at Killarney, but he still ran a solid race there. We might give him a short break and then head to Listowel. The lads had a couple of horses with me before that were so moderate, they wouldn't even bring in the cows for you, so they're having great fun with this lad. He was inclined to strike into himself at his front shoulders and a physiotherapist recommended that we use elbow boots which are used on trotters in France. We had to get permission to use them and they seem to have done the job.
