Limerick Thu, 23rd May, 2024  Kilmurry Jj This is what racing needs and we'd encourage more (syndicates) if we could. They get as much of a kick out of it as winning a big race and since they started off, 29 of the 30 are still in the syndicate. The syndicate has been self-financing as Mahler's Dollar was their first horse and he won them €40,000, so then we bought Emancipator with that money. With the prizemoney he won, we bought this horse and there's still money in the kitty. We buy horses with form as it is very hard to go the other way to buy store horses for €50,000 - where would you be going?

Down Royal Tue, 23rd Jan, 2024  Irish Blaze I thought he was going too quick during the race but, in fairness, Carl (Millar) sat up and gave him a breather down to the second-last. He finished very strong. I thought he'd go close, but I didn't think he would win that easily (by 6.5 lengths). I'd say he will stay further, he might improve going even up in trip so we'll probably give that a try next time. We might stick him into a big enough handicap chase off a low weight and see how it goes. He jumps brilliantly which wasn't always the way with him. Davy Condon rides him out at home every morning on his own because he is a difficult horse to ride and does a great job.
