Sligo Tue, 17th May, 2022  Gradulations She had run well the last couple of times and we know she stays so the slightly extended trip suited her,. She's very ground-versatile so we weren't worried about that. She did everything well and it was nice and straightforward. We ran her in a Group race last year so we did think a bit of her, but she actually ran no race that day and came back with a runny nose, so we put a line through that. She's a big strong filly who stays well and is tough, and we should have plenty of options with her.

Leopardstown Fri, 13th May, 2022  Manbehindthemoney All credit to Ronan — it was a super ride. He’s a horse that is learning on the job. He was very green first time out at Cork and again at Gowran Park fell out of the stalls and Billy Lee brought him home nicely. The front two went hard and we had something to run at. He still looks very raw and very green. He’s thriving in training which is always a good sign. We were hopeful today and it looks like he has plenty of options both in terms of ground and trip. He was doing his best work at the finish there so it looks like he will get further. He’s looks quite an exciting horse but time will tell.

Sligo Sun, 1st May, 2022  Band Width he’s well-bred so we expected a bit from him. I trained his half-brother Shatharaat who I bought cheaply off Mark Johnston and he won well on his first start for me, but had issues afterwards and they caught up with him. Another half-sister of his won a Group 3. he showed us a little bit last year, we haven’t done an awful lot with him this year and he’s improved from his first run. I like the way he fully got the trip (six furlongs) and it looked like he needed every yard of it. He has the toe for six and stays further so it gives us plenty of options. We were quite hopeful today but it’s easy to say that after the race!. Part of the reason we’re lucky here is that we train on a right-handed track going up a hill so our horses tend have a natural advantage.

Sligo Sun, 1st May, 2022  Count To Five She had a good run at Cork and then had a bit of a setback so she was kept for this year. She hasn’t done an awful lot at home. We thought she had the ability to get through this type of race. Everything fell into place and Gary (Carroll) gave her a great ride. We’ll see what the handicapper does and plot a course from there.
