Tipperary Wed, 15th May, 2024  Rockstown Girl She hit the first hurdle in Thurles the last day and her race was over as she got a bad fright. We gave her a break after that. She’s a top class mare and was third in a Grade 2 bumper at Leopardstown. James said she took a blow turning in and had plenty left in the tank. I was disappointed with myself that I didn’t have her fitter than that. She should have a good campaign now for the summer.

Punchestown Wed, 1st May, 2024  Familiar Dreams Aine gets on great with her. She did a piece of work in the Curragh last Tuesday on the heavy sand and blew us away. I was very concerned all day about the ground. Jamie Codd rode her twice last year and he more or less said go and run her, she’s the best horse in the race. She came across the track and I don’t know why. Maybe she wanted to show herself off as she’s going into the Sales ring tomorrow evening!. It’s been a dream. I sourced her myself and have got her this far. It would be a fairytale if we could get to keep her in the yard. She’s the first horse into the ring tomorrow and we have to talk about what the reserve is now. I own 20 per cent of her.
