Punchestown Wed, 13th Oct, 2021  Galvin I thought it was a good performance with the weight he had and we knew he was going to come on plenty from it. He was up against two race-fit horses. He’s in Down Royal and is a horse to look forward to for the season. It’s a race that could cut up and he looks like he’s entitled to take his chance in a Grade 1. We missed Listowel as we thought it was coming a bit too soon for him and he’s having a good blow after that race today. He only really does what he has to do but he’s a grand honest horse and this has been a lucky race (seventh win) for us. He might be more of a Grand National horse than a Gold Cup horse but he knows how to win.

Punchestown Tue, 12th Oct, 2021  Quantum Realm It was a grand opportunity for him. He probably wasn't really a bumper horse with the way he jumps but he has his job done now. We'll try and find a little novice hurdle somewhere for him now and see what happens.

Limerick Sun, 10th Oct, 2021  Vado Forte We thought he'd run well but didn't think he'd do that. He will be a good fun horse and we're delighted with him. I was worried about the trip but he could come back and could go over hurdles too. He is a good fun horse and Simon (McGonagle), my head man, owns him with two local publicans who gave a few quid for him so it great for them all.

Limerick Sun, 10th Oct, 2021  Kruzhlinin We were under pressure running him and I hope this win doesn't go unnoticed,. We wouldn't run the horse unless he was in good form and this is great and he is retired now. We love all the horses in the yard, horses are first and foremost and while I want to train winners, we love the horses and in fairness to Camilla (Sharples, Elliott's head lass and owner of the winner) it is great. Everyone in the yard looks after this horse and he has also won 14 point-to-points. He will stay in the yard now to lead the young horses and it is brilliant.

Limerick Sun, 10th Oct, 2021  Off Your Rocco He's a grand horse who doesn't do anything fancy at home but he keeps winning. We'll keep him going as long as he's doing that. I was a little worried about the trip but today he stayed very well. He's a very versatile, honest horse who could even go further than that, looking at today. We'll think about options for him. He could be one we might be able to bring to Cheltenham in October or something like that. He's a nice horse.

Downpatrick Fri, 8th Oct, 2021  Mars Harper Jordan (Gainford) gave him a fantastic ride, he saved plenty of ground going around the rail. They seemed to go hard up front and he stayed up the hill really well. He handles it quite well around here and handles soft ground. It's great for Pioneer Racing, they have had some good days and hopefully there is more to come. We'll enjoy today and see how he is after it.

Galway Tue, 5th Oct, 2021  Smooth Player He is only a baby and is a horse for next year. He is very big and raw and won't do much more this year, maybe run once over hurdles and then we will put him away. It's good for Lisa as it's her 100th winner between the track and point-to-point's. With Jamie (Codd) riding most of the horses, it is hard to give her as many opportunities as she used to have but she is a great girl and obviously a big part of the team.

Gowran Park Sat, 2nd Oct, 2021  Tullybeg It was a good performance with the weight he had. He wants nice ground and when it gets soft we’ll probably give him a break.
