Tipperary Wed, 29th May, 2024  Sir Yoshi we like him but he obviously wants quicker ground than that (soft). I blame myself for the last day as I told Luke to take his time. He pinged the gates though and we ended up doing neither or, and they crowded him and he got intimidated. He came home well though and I wanted to get one more run into him before going to Ascot. He'll go for the Windsor (Castle Stakes) — shur why not, as he is tough and we don't know how good he is as he is very, very lazy. He is exceptionally lazy but yet he always seems to get there. His biggest attribute for Ascot is his relaxed temperament, which is what you need, and he has a bit of pace.

Leopardstown Fri, 17th May, 2024  Scorthy Champ He's a well-bred horse and we liked him, obviously. I think everyone was liked in the race, every time I looked there was money coming for something else,. They were a proper bunch on pedigrees, well-bred horses. I thought he was very impressive. Dylan said he was quite green early so he just took his time. When he got a bit of room he said he opened up really well. He had been working very nicely, and he's very well-bred. He looks very smart. I suppose the obvious thing is to come back here for the Tyros Stakes, let's see how he pulls up and take it from there. He'll be going down that National Stakes path. I know he's a Mehmas but he's a big horse and his family were better three-year-olds. We won't be forcing him but he looks very smart.

Naas Sat, 11th May, 2024  Mehman Shane did well to get through plenty of traffic and he said that’s his ground,. We’ll probably go back to the Curragh and find a nice sprint for him. He won three before in Dundalk but never got it together on the turf for some reason. He can be a bit volatile and on his first couple of runs of the year he can be a bit fresh. He was very calm and chilled today.

Dundalk Sat, 13th Apr, 2024  Heart Of Darkness She's improved in the two weeks (since her debut) and I think the surface has probably helped her. I'm delighted she's won, they are important colours. She ran well first time but I'd say she just didn't love the soft ground, she's enjoyed that surface today. She's a nice filly and I think we'll look at stakes races for the rest of the year. Something like the Polonia, if the ground was quick we might go back to Cork.

Dundalk Wed, 14th Feb, 2024  Rebelsontherun It was a close call at the line and I'm delighted we got our head in front again - obviously sharing the spoils with Jamie. I got rolling plenty early and my filly stays very well and is tough. it probably suited my lad the way the race unfolded. I was able to get rolling early, he took a bit of time to get into gear but, to be fair, passing the furlong pole he was in top gear and he hit the line well.

Dundalk Fri, 2nd Feb, 2024  Mulgrave Down to a mark that he can win off. He's a very hard horse to train and ride in the races as he is very, very keen. Siobhan (Rutledge) does a brilliant job on him at home and keeps the lid on him the whole time. That makes him hard to train because you can never work him which means you are kind of undertraining him the whole time. He has a lot of ability when things fall right for him. The syndicate know him and are very patient with him. Delighted for him and another good ride by Donagh there, he is riding very well. He did (go to the All Weather Championships last year) and he could possibly go again. There is another race for him here next week. We might come back for that, we will see how he is. He was unlucky last year (in Lingfield), he didn't get the clearest of runs and flew home. It was a good day out and they enjoyed it, so we'll see. Delighted for them to get their win today.
