Naas Sat, 11th May, 2024  Eclipse Emerald He’s a nice horse and will improve with racing. I thought he’d nearly win in the Curragh the last day but he probably got a little tired in hindsight as he’s a burly horse.

Navan Tue, 7th May, 2024  Concluding Call I thought the favourite was always going to go on, because she had come home late the last day and was drawn one today. I told Billy to follow her, get her to relax and if we could have one go, to try and rob it - and that's what we did. But in fairness she went away at the line. She tried hard, is very honest and Billy thought she loved that bit-better ground. She's a lovely big filly and is a grand filly. Francois is a breeder so we'll try and do something black-type wise for her.

Dundalk Sat, 13th Apr, 2024  Boadicea Belle She was down to a mark that she could do something off. She ran well when beaten a length in third off 60 here last year and was also third off 58. She came back well after her break and I'm delighted for the owners who have been very patient. We thought once or twice last year that she might go close and it just didn't happen so I'm delighted now. She seems to be an all-weather horse and we'll see what we do with her now. She won three times at Chelmsford so she could possibly travel to England. Hopefully the handicapper doesn't go mad with her.
