Listowel Sat, 23rd Sep, 2023  High Class Hero That was a nice performance. It looked like he’ll stay further and he handled the ground. He could be a nice prospect as a winter horse and he’ll go the two and a half mile or three-mile route over hurdles. Whatever he does over hurdles I’d expect him to be better over fences.

Listowel Wed, 20th Sep, 2023  Power Of Pause He might have been a bit lucky and Paul took his chance. He met the last a bit better than the second horse and it paid off. He didn’t jump well the first circuit but he got better and better. He’s a nasty little cut on a hind leg and he’ll be off for three or four weeks with that. I’d say it will need a few stitches and I don’t know what damage is done underneath so we’ll have to see.

Listowel Mon, 18th Sep, 2023  Luckinthecity I probably should have a few more, but the aim is to get to 1,000 so I have a more years to go,. We have had a huge amount of summer bumper fillies in this year and obviously with Jamie (Codd) taking the summer off it is a big help.

Kilbeggan Fri, 8th Sep, 2023  Longview Lady She improved hugely for her first run and we stepped her up three furlongs,.

Killarney Sat, 26th Aug, 2023  Aurora Vega I went around thinking I don't want her to whip around at the starting tape or duck out at a doll or something stupid but it was very straightforward and she did it great. She is improving and we're hoping to get blacktype with her. She was sharper today, was more in my hands and I'd have preferred if she relaxed more but I think will continue to improve. Willie might want to go jumping now but I'd be hoping she would go for a Listed bumper. I don't think she'll jump fences so may we should stay bumpering this season and go hurdling next season - that's my argument anyway. She's not big but is wide and strong.

Killarney Sat, 26th Aug, 2023  We'llhavewan We bought the horse from Paul's father Tim (Townend) who also bred him and the horse came highly recommended. That's his third race to win for us and it is great for Simon (Wilson) and his wife who are here for the week. We have a mark over fences and we'll keep tipping away but without any grand plans. The further the better for him.
