Navan Sat, 18th Jan, 2020  Eskylane He is a grand big galloping horse and is a chaser for next year really,. He is a big weak horse and we'll probably keep him to bumpers and give him one more run this year.

Navan Sat, 18th Jan, 2020  Floueur I couldn't believe the price he was and I said it to the boys out on the track,. He is a nice big galloping horse who doesn't show us much at home but every day we took him away he showed us a nice bit. But at home he just eats and sleeps and is a big laid-back horse. Ground-wise it is hard to know what he wants because at home he just does what he has to do. He is a big chaser really and jumped well. I'd say he'll be in different colours the next day.

Punchestown Wed, 15th Jan, 2020  Column Of Fire He was unlucky the last day when he fell and ran a good race in Navan before that so it’s grand that he’s put his head in front,.

Fairyhouse Tue, 14th Jan, 2020  Braeside he deserves that as he's been knocking on the door all his life. It's nice he got his head in front, the owners are good supporters of the yard. We'll find another little race for him, he's a grand horse and he'll be a grand big three-mile chaser one day.

Punchestown Sun, 12th Jan, 2020  Andy Dufresne he got beat by a good horse of Paul Nolan’s (Latest Exhibition) the last day in Navan where he probably outstayed us but that was more like it today. Mark (Walsh) said the inside track was tight enough for him here over two miles. He took a bit of organising around the last bend but when he straightened up he jumped the last well. He galloped to the line and has won over two and a half.

Thurles Fri, 10th Jan, 2020  Tronador He was behind the bridle the whole way, and probably wants a bit further in time, . He was going as hard as he could three out and I'd be happy enough.

Thurles Fri, 10th Jan, 2020  Elwood They looked like they were going quick in front and we looked like we were going to finish a bad third or fourth, . It ended up suiting us as they all fell apart and we picked the pieces up although Eddie Harty's horse (Advantage Point) looked like he had the winning of it when he fell. He is more of a handicapper than a graded horse and is nothing like his brother (Delta Work, by Network).

Naas Sun, 5th Jan, 2020  Envoi Allen It’s a new trip for him, but he has always looked like a horse that would be comfortable going over that distance,. It has been a great Christmas, and I’m looking forward to starting off the year by running Envoi Allen in a race like this — and fingers crossed it will be a nice start to the year.

Cork Sat, 4th Jan, 2020  Minella Till Dawn It has been a great day, four winners. He was probably going to be second the last day when he fell at the last but I'd say the blinkers woke him up today so it was grand,. He is a big horse and now that he has got his head in front he might win again. He had a few niggly problems and it mightn't have been the strongest race in the world but he won so it was great.

Cork Sat, 4th Jan, 2020  Escaria Ten He is a nice big horse and is a big chaser. That's our first runner for the McNeill family so it's nice to start off on a good note and we think we have a nice bumper horse as well,. He was bought to be a big chaser and whatever he does this year is only a bonus. He is still raw and Adrian said that if he winged the last he'd probably have won well but he did what he just had to do. We'll keep it (plans) small.

Cork Sat, 4th Jan, 2020  Recent Revelations We were probably lucky as Peter Fahey's horse (Belfast Banter) was probably gone for home but he is a nice little horse and is improving with every run and his jumping has got a lot better,. He had a good run one day in a flat maiden at Roscommon and didn't jump great on his first couple of runs. The more runs he's getting the better his jumping is getting. The lads will have a good bit of fun with him and he is a dual-purpose horse.

Cork Sat, 4th Jan, 2020  Texard On ratings he was entitled to go close and he had plenty of experience but just wasn't finishing out his races that well. We said we'd ride him from the front and try to keep filling him and filling him,. Some of these horses that come from France just take a bit of time and I was happy with him there and he seemed to love that ground. It was a good performance and Jack said he was happy enough (when Carrigmoorna Pine fell) but said he couldn't say whether or not he'd still have won. The second last is a long way from the line at Cork. We'll look for something small again next. He wears three-quarter shoes in front as he clips himself and both front shoes are the same.

Punchestown Tue, 31st Dec, 2019  Gealach He has plenty of experience. It might not have been the strongest race in the world but it’s another winner,.

Leopardstown Sun, 29th Dec, 2019  Battleoverdoyen He'll probably come on a bit from the run, he's having a good blow after it,. Davy said the two of them only hacked around and it was like a nice school. He said he only did what he had to do. It's not ideal for the sponsors who put the prize-money up but there is nothing we can do about the ground and that's the way it is. The second horse is a good horse, he's rated 150. I'd imagine he could come back here for the Flogas. He'll be entered in it and we'll see. The way he jumps and travels, he's a real nice horse, he's a big chaser. He'll go on any ground and he's won three times on good ground. I like the way he jumps. The runner-up will probably go for what used to be the four-miler. I was happy with both horses. It's been an unbelievable week. We've had ten winners and four Grade 1s. I went home with my tail between my legs on the first day but that's the way it is.

Leopardstown Fri, 27th Dec, 2019  Roaring Bull I feel sorry for Paul Nolan (trainer of Fitzhenry) who is a very good friend of mine. I was watching the race out on the track with Paul and I was cheering his horse on because I thought I was gone.

Leopardstown Fri, 27th Dec, 2019  Abacadabras He’s got a bit of pace and we rode him for it. I’d say the hurdle flicked back at him going down the back (straight), but he’s professional enough and I’m happy with him. He’ll probably come back here in February. I’d say a bit better ground would suit him as he doesn’t bend his knee too much and just flicks across the top of the ground. When he got to the front he didn’t do a stroke again. He did exactly the same with Lisa O’Neill when he won a bumper in Galway. He’s a nice horse.
