Wexford Thu, 25th Apr, 2024  Doyen Ta Win She likes it here, she likes going left-handed. I think the race on Sunday helped her because she jumped better. It was only her first chase on Sunday and I toyed with the idea of running her today, I don't like running horses back quick. I had a chat with my father on Sunday evening and he said to go back and watch the reply as she hadn't had a hard race. We spoke to the syndicate and decided we'd run her as she likes it here. It's great to pick up another (ITBA) bonus. She's going to be covered by Arctic Cosmos and when she's on foal she'll run away for the summer. That'll be it then, she's done her job. Arctic Cosmos is a big sort, she's not the biggest in the world, he's throwing good horses and he's great value. The Hannons (Old Road Stud in Tallow) have a great stud and they deserve a chance.

Limerick Fri, 19th Apr, 2024  Rocky's Diamond I had been disappointed with a couple of my runners in the past few weeks but was happy with the way this fella worked during the week and told David (Kiely, owner) to have a few quid on him,. Shane gave him a great ride and he is a nice horse who jumps well. He is a half-brother to (six-time winner) The Little Yank, is a grand horse and we might send end up sending him to Doncaster (sales). His owner also had last year's champion point-to-pointer Rocky's Howya but he got a leg at the end of last year.
