Limerick Thu, 30th May, 2024  Seasett His owner Mark Sheasby got a touch out of this horse when he won for Paddy at Cartmel and I told him that he wouldn't be out of the first two today. I thought Paddy was very good as he hadn't much room but was very strong on him. He rode a very clever race and for a young lad, he's not too bad. You can't beat the 'flapping' (pony racing) as it absolutely crowned him as he learned so much. Paddy has six rides for me at Listowel on Saturday and, as he knows all the horses from being at home, I'll get him experience on mine instead of letting him ride for every Tom, Dick or Harry. I have plenty of horses for him.

Limerick Thu, 30th May, 2024  Half A Chance Paddy tries hard and with the bumpers at the moment, Willie (Mullins) is winning 95% of them so no lad gets a chance. I have plenty of horses at home, and some I shouldn't have as they're not much good, but they will give him plenty of experience. He was 17 the day before yesterday and got his license on his birthday and finished third on his first ride as a professional. Garry Cribbin is his agent and he recently went over to England to Charlie and Francesca Poste where he learned a lot. He did plenty pony racing, won the Dingle Derby and was the first Irish lad to win the Scottish Championship. I'm delighted for him.

Gowran Park Wed, 8th May, 2024  Enfranchise She is a filly that we always thought a lot of. She won the Oaks last year in Down Royal and she loves that ground, she galloped them into the ground. I thought she’d run well but didn’t know if she was fit enough. She was doing everything right at home. I think she’s better over two miles and I’d definitely go up in trip, rather than down in trip. There is a hurdle race in Galway that we have picked out for her and there are plenty of Group races on the Flat. She loves soft ground and I think the Group One (Prix du) Cadran in France would suit her.
