Clonmel Fri, 7th Jun, 2024  Tag Man I'm delighted for Mikey who is a great rider and he is doing really well. He is a massive part of the yard, is a big team player and it is brilliant to see him ride out his claim. He is a really good rider and will get more opportunities.

Downpatrick Fri, 10th May, 2024  O'Faolains Glory I haven't done much in two weeks! I broke the top of my thumb and had a bad cut on it as well. The cut was nearly worse than the break. I got it stitched up and got an operation on it and a bit of a wire in it, but it seems okay.

Down Royal Sun, 14th Apr, 2024  O'Faolains Glory She did it very well, she was nearly one you were afraid was too good a work horse. You'd be afraid she won't put it in.

Cork Sun, 31st Mar, 2024  Summer Tide It was a bit of a surprise as I didn't think he was up to that as there were a few fair horses in it but I'm delighted for the young fella after getting a fall in the previous race. He had a good run behind Desertmore House in a beginners' chase last year at Kilbeggan and the (heavy) ground made up for today's lesser distance. We were struggling to win a race so I'm delighted to win. A win is a win and his mark over hurdles might now be more favourable after that. there was a chance Maidenstreetprince would have finished second (to Sir Gerhard) and he is ok after his fall.

Navan Sat, 23rd Mar, 2024  Hardwired He stayed at it well. He looked beat going to the last, but kept at it well. He's won over 2m6f and three miles, and he saw it out well. From being a frustrating horse he's now won four. He had a good pilot on board.

Fairyhouse Sat, 24th Feb, 2024  Sporting Glory Derek was brilliant in the last 50 yards. I'm delighted that he has ridden a winner for me. I've had a lot of top riders that have ridden winners for me and I was afraid I'd never get him to ride a winner. He was good there. We'll see what Joe Foley and Steve Parkin (Clipper Logistics) say, but we'll probably go for a maiden hurdle and then rock up to Punchestown in a good race, depending on how he jumps. Something like that. Martin Cullinane sold the horse and made sure that he'd end up in my yard. We were begging lads to buy him and they were knocking the horse because he was too old or whatever. He had a great pedigree, he's from the family of Harbour Pilot and there are winners everywhere on the page.

Punchestown Wed, 21st Feb, 2024  Balum Jack is from outside Ashbourne and had previously ridden the winner of a point-to-point. His family have a pub which he works in, he rides out and has a farm as well - he's a very busy man!. Jack's Mam (Eileen) and Dad (Raymond) own her so it's great. He comes into us and rides out and is a good young lad.

Naas Sun, 28th Jan, 2024  Kings Halo Danny was brilliant and got the fractions right on him. I thought he’d gone a tad quick early on, but he knew what he was doing. Our fella jumped and travelled. I came up here in hope rather than confidence but the drop back in trip didn’t make any difference to him and it was a good performance. He has plenty of options now with trips and he’ll get into better handicaps now. The lads (Kings Halo Partnership) are great owners and are all from West Cork so it’s great.
