Cork Sun, 31st Mar, 2024  Tranquil Sea For a short priced favourite maybe you'd expect him to do it better than that but he was careful over his hurdles. He has been careful in his early races but has warmed to things and obviously his last few runs were better. Sean said he had plenty horse under him going to the line though and it is nice for the owners Anne and Jim Coffey and Susan, who are brilliant supporters of ours. We have had a frustrating year for them but it is nice to get one on the board. We bought him off Richard O'Brien (trainer), who has been lucky for us and we've had a good association with him. He wasn't expensive and was originally bought for a four-year-old bumper but I didn't have the patience to hold on and wait. Thankfully today has worked out and he could end up running in a decent handicap at some stage.

Navan Sat, 23rd Mar, 2024  Iceberg Theory He was good today. We were a bit disappointed in Limerick where he jinked a little bit when Gavin's horse (Now Is The Hour) fell. We put cheekpieces on him today as we were worried the last day that he might be a bit of a divil, so we put them on today to make him concentrate. We were a bit worried with the way he was carrying on here in the parade ring, but Sean said he was only acting the maggot. He did it well and maybe we'll give him a stab at the auction final in Punchestown.
