Ballinrobe Tue, 25th May, 2021  Agent Boru I got a phone call to say he (Ricky Doyle - got fall earlier on the card) was sore and that he wouldn't be riding,. It’s just brilliant though. When you feel like it’s not going to go your way and then suddenly it does. The owners have been great — for a syndicate in particular — they’ve been very patient. He absolutely lost his way for two years. He had a condition called kissing spines — I just wasn’t aware of it for a long time. When we did finally discover that he’s been like a new horse. It took time for him to get his confidence back but this season he really has and he’s just going from strength to strength again. He’s tiny and though he’s a real stayer I was thinking today going to the last - just how well will you stay, but he did.

Ballinrobe Mon, 24th May, 2021  Must Be Obeyed She’s a dream through a race but she’s very temperamental. She’s a good mare though and we’re lucky to have her.

Downpatrick Fri, 21st May, 2021  Magic Piper . We kind of only needed to use his jumping from the third last home. We were saving all the way and he was good. In fairness to him, the horse came to him going to the last and he pulled out again and he was tough all the way to the line. That bit of rain did no harm, everything suited today. I started out with Tom Mullins and he was great to me and gave me three quick winners on the track. He's very good to me and lets me ride most of his horses. I got asked to go to England and I went and gave it a go for a couple of weeks, but I'm more of a home bird and I'm happy in Tom Mullins' and that's where I will continue to stay.
