Listowel Mon, 20th Sep, 2021  Autumn Evening we gave him a nice good break after February and he strengthened up. He had a run back at Tramore and was meant to run at Gowran two weeks ago but didn't run as the ground was too quick for him. We hoped we had him fit enough for today but he has been really good and two miles will probably be his minimum. We could step him back up to 2m4f throughout the season and I think he'll be competitive in those handicaps. We'll also go back and try and win one on the flat before the flat season is out. It is great for Joe (O'Flaherty) who is a great supporter and it is also lovely to win the Liam Healy Memorial Race. We have very fond memories of him so it is a privilege to win his race.

Gowran Park Sat, 18th Sep, 2021  Bonte Moi it’s unreal - I feel I’m going to wake up sometime. It’s just amazing. The horses are running really, really well. Everyone at home is working hard and doing everything right.

Gowran Park Sat, 18th Sep, 2021  Astadash she loves Gowran and ran a blinder here last time. She was very good today and I’m delighted that she’s now got big black type. She’s big and took a long time to come to herself. The dam (unraced Starfish) is not around any more so the owners (the Barry family) will want to have her for the paddocks.

Naas Thu, 16th Sep, 2021  Bellabel The Girls have been very lucky here and that’s the third winner they have had at Naas. They have two horses every year and they have been very lucky.

Naas Thu, 16th Sep, 2021  Sablonne Shane said that once she gets to the front she thinks she has enough done. She’s laidback more than anything else and the cheekpieces helped her.

Punchestown Tue, 14th Sep, 2021  My Holy Fox She did it very well. She's a beautifully bred filly and when we won the maiden in the Curragh we thought it was job done. On her work we thought maybe she had a nice mark. For her fourth run to do what she did from a wide draw, she was very professional about it and we're delighted. I'd love to sneak a bit of black-type for her but she is going to be covered southern hemisphere time. That is the plan at the moment but it might get changed, I don't know. Once she was made a winner that is what they decided to do but she's won two now and we'll see what the owners want to do.

Punchestown Tue, 14th Sep, 2021  Alizarine She would have been unlucky not to win. She was coming with a lovely run and Chris said she would probably have won easy (but for the interference),. She was good there. She had some fancy entries and I've always thought a lot of her. We'll try and find one of those back end listed or Group 3 races for her. I'd love to step her up to a mile as well.

Curragh Sun, 12th Sep, 2021  Discoveries how lucky am I to have three fillies out of the one mare to have won Group 1s. She’s a lovely, lovely filly and is completely different to Alpha Centauri, who was a big grey filly. This filly was not as big but she has done a lot of growing. She has a lovely temperament and is not as feisty as Alpha. Alpine Star looked completely different again. She was long and low, not very big. she (Discoveries) was green the first time she ran and then won her maiden. We’d hoped she’d win the Alpha Centauri Debutante but the ground came up soft that day.

Leopardstown Sat, 11th Sep, 2021  Ever Present It's fantastic and I'm thrilled for that horse because having won two amateur races here I thought they put him in at a fairly high mark of 95. Then I go to the Curragh and get beaten and they put him up another 5lb. I think he could be a proper Ebor horse next year, that's the plan. He just likes nice ground. He absolutely loves it around here and Leopardstown does just suit some horses.

Leopardstown Sat, 11th Sep, 2021  Real Appeal I don't think my heart will stand much more, it's still pounding. To have two winners on Champions Day is absolutely amazing. We came here today saying we could have one of those nearly weekends, with everything running really well and not getting a winner. Now to have two winners is absolutely amazing. For No Speak Alexander to win a Group 1 is great. Shane came in and said Real Appeal is 10lb better here than any other racecourse. He's won three races here now and he does nothing but improve. It's the first time he's won over a mile and it's really worked out. He's a funny horse, when he gets to the front he pulls himself up.

Leopardstown Sat, 11th Sep, 2021  No Speak Alexander It was her day in the sun today, everything was right, and she really came on from the last day. She got no run in France at all, she got knocked over a furlong down. We trained her for this day and we rode her the same way as we did in the Guineas, up at the sharp end. She's probably got a little bit stronger. She likes a bit of nice ground. We've no idea where we're going now, this was the plan and we'll enjoy the day.

Kilbeggan Fri, 3rd Sep, 2021  Exit Poll It was a good performance carrying topweight and he's really got his jumping together. We couldn't be happier with him. We'll probably find a race in Listowel for him and he could have a run on the Flat before the end of the year if I get my way. Kate Harrington, representing

Roscommon Mon, 30th Aug, 2021  Corviglia Her form has worked out with the filly that was second to her winning next time at Leopardstown. Her work at home has come forward and Mum will have a chat with Alan (Cooper, racing manager) and the team to see where they want to go next. I’d imagine the Listed Ingabelle Stakes at Leopardstown on Champions Weekend could be next for her. She’s from a lovely family and the dam is a sister to the Oaks winner Light Shift.

Navan Sat, 28th Aug, 2021  Benevolent She did that well, she just got stuck in the mud at Sligo the last day,. That quick ground is important to her and she'll get a little bit further as well, she was staying on well. She won snug enough in the end and I'm delighted with her. We'll look for another nursery on quick ground. We'll probably still have it next weekend.

Down Royal Fri, 27th Aug, 2021  Bopedro First time visor made all the difference to him. I told Conor to bury him and he picked up really well. It’s fantastic. It’s great for Conor as he broke Magical Lagoon for me as he does most of Mr Zhang’s. They don’t normally win big handicaps like that. The last day here he hung and Shane (Foley) pulled him up. His eye was completely closed over and he must have got a sting or something like that.

Down Royal Fri, 27th Aug, 2021  Magical Lagoon She needed the mile and stayed on very strongly,. She was good today. She’ll probably have just one more run this year. She’s in the Fillies’ Mile and she might just go for that. She’s going to be a mile and a half filly next year.
