Listowel Wed, 11th Sep, 2019  Jeremys Flame the way she won her bumper she’s a proper mare but she’s very difficult. She pulled very hard today. Johnny gave her a brilliant ride. She missed a few hurdles and that helped as it got her to back off a bit. If you could keep a lid on her she is potentially a very nice mare. Even at home she’s hard work. Joey Dunne rides her every day and Ian Donoghue, two big strong lads. She actually has to be ridden out on her own. She has some black type already in a bumper, so we could look for more over hurdles.

Listowel Wed, 11th Sep, 2019  Darver Star He was supposed to win on ratings and it was a good performance. I don’t know if he really enjoyed that ground but he got away with it. When he jumps a fence he might improve again, and there is a good chance he could go chasing this season.

Navan Sat, 7th Sep, 2019  Aasleagh Fawn She was crying out for that trip on that ground,. The last day in Down Royal it just went too soft for her. I'm delighted as Mick (Rowland) is local here and lived in Navan for years so it's great for him.

Kilbeggan Fri, 6th Sep, 2019  Dakota Beat They went no gallop the last day, and it was a bit of a mess of a race. He’s no star but he does stay well,.

Clonmel Thu, 5th Sep, 2019  Top Of The Charts It was Feidhlim Cunningham(race planner)'s plan to utilise the hurdles mark and these were the only two races that you could go in again under a penalty. So it has been the plan for a while. He will have another little break now and that's four wins from five for him and he wasn't an expensive purchase. He is only a five-year-old and I think he'll be a lovely horse next year. He ran a good solid race in the Blazers when he missed the second last. I don't think he'll go on bottomless winter ground.

Clonmel Thu, 5th Sep, 2019  Peaches And Cream Himself and Lucky Road both ran against each other in Killarney and we gave them both a break afterwards and both of them won since. He was grand there today and he is in at Listowel next week so we'll see. He has only half a tail as another horse ate it out in the field! It's not stopping him.

Down Royal Fri, 30th Aug, 2019  Top Of The Charts He ran a cracker in Galway in the Blazers and missed the second last and the last, . Off that he was entitled to do that today. He's been a great fun horse and he's a nice horse.

Bellewstown Thu, 29th Aug, 2019  Lucky Road That was great. We gave him a little break after Killarney and he obviously done well for it,. I thought he had a place chance coming here, I thought the handicapper had had his say. In fairness he's after improving with the break. The owners (Lucky Seven Syndicate) are all local enough and as you can see they are all delighted. It's a great initiative this syndicates race. He's only a handy little horse but he's been a great servant. I bought him at the August sale last year and he only cost €3,000. Peaches And Cream came from the same sale and I only gave €1,200 for him. Both are by Salutino who wouldn't be that well known.

Bellewstown Thu, 29th Aug, 2019  Flooring Porter He was one of the highest rated in the field so he was entitled to make the frame anyway,. I thought they went very hard. He was last going past with a circuit to run and he was struggling to lie up. It just kind of fell his way as they went too hard and he outstayed them. They weren't a great bunch so we won't be getting too excited but it's great to win.

Killarney Fri, 23rd Aug, 2019  Bentham He's by Jeremy and they're supposed to like the soft ground but this ground is the key to him,. I ran him a couple of times on soft ground when I shouldn't have. He is in my wife's colours. We'll see if he's sold or not but we could go over hurdles with him.

Killarney Wed, 21st Aug, 2019  Darver Star After he won the last day I rang Sandy Shaw (handicapper) to tell him he had been very hard on him and had it out with him but have to apologise now. I didn't think he was that good so I'm obviously delighted,. I can't wait until he jumps a fence, he'll be a lovely horse over fences and please god he stays right and he'll go chasing shortly. He doesn't want knee-deep ground and doesn't want it too soft but will race away for the winter.
