Leopardstown Wed, 1st Jul, 2020  Red Kelly His work has really stepped forward in the last few weeks. Shane was very happy with him after his run here and when you look at the form it was one of the best maidens run this year.

Leopardstown Wed, 1st Jul, 2020  Know It All She seemed to have come forward from her last run judged by her work and Ben was very happy with her coming here.

Naas Wed, 24th Jun, 2020  Pronouncement I thought when entering her and being rated 96 that it would be a nice opportunity but it was a tough race.

Navan Tue, 23rd Jun, 2020  Lady Maura We've probably found her trip after a few goes at it,. Gary thought when he rode her in Dundalk that she got tapped for a bit of toe and got outpaced so we tried her at seven. She's a strong traveller and I think she's learning how to sprint now so we'll probably keep her at that distance for a while. Five furlongs seems to be ideal. She came from the breeze-ups so she's obviously able to sprint. I would have been disappointed if she didn't run like that today because we were starting to wonder what was her trip. She's all speed. She's well-bred, cost a few quid, so it's great to get a bracket for her. We'll see if she can keep going up the grades now.

Gowran Park Wed, 17th Jun, 2020  Mirann Without the good riders you don’t have good horses and Ben, Danny (Sheehy), Shane (Foley), Nikita (Kane) have all put in a lot of work and Gary Halpin has been in with me as well. . The horses are in great form at the moment and hopefully it can continue. 

Gowran Park Wed, 17th Jun, 2020  So Suave We thought he was going well with the other horses in the spring. I felt the handicapper was hard on him but he got it spot on there and I suppose Danny’s 5lb helped him. It was a good ride. Danny has been with us for the past couple of months. He’s after fitting in well with the rest of the team and I’m delighted that he’s after riding two nice winners for us over the last couple of days. There might be a three-year-old handicap for him at the Curragh on Derby weekend. I think a mile is a good trip for him, maybe seven at the Curragh. He’s an improving horse and might make up into a black type horse one day.

Curragh Fri, 12th Jun, 2020  Champers Elysees that’s a relief! The horses have been running great and we’ve had a couple of seconds recently. This filly has always been talented and has only been out of the first three once and that was in the big sales race. People were saying that she just wanted soft ground but she has a great turn of foot and I thought there would be more improvement with the better ground.
