Naas Thu, 3rd Apr, 2025  Zoffman Good things come in small parcels. He was bred by the starter (Joe Banahan) and he’s a half-brother to Sheishybrid. His other half-brother (Athlumney Warrior) won for Michael O’Callaghan on the all-weather. It’s a good family and has been lucky for us. He’ll mix it between the Flat and jumping and I’m hoping he might get one of the good Flat handicaps somewhere during the summer. He’s not very big but he carried 11-12 there and he jumps brilliant. I always said he was too small to be jumping but the first day we schooled him all he wanted to do was go. I’m sure the better ground will be a help to him.

Dundalk Fri, 28th Mar, 2025  Billie Frechette Colin is a big help! . She's been unlucky, she has run well. She's just a bit one-paced. I'd say two miles is alright, but I'd say a mile and a-half is okay too. She stayed on well. Great to see her winning and I think she can hopefully do that again over hurdles, so we will see how we go.

Naas Sun, 23rd Mar, 2025  Rowdy Yeats He’s a nice horse. We fancied him when he went to the Curragh last year, we never thought he was bred to be a five furlong horse, but he was beat by a very good horse and they were a long way clear of the third. I thought I’d give him time to mature but I found it very hard to get him back and I don’t think I really had him 100 per cent when he came here at the end of the season. . He has trained very well and I fancied him today. . I put him in the other race (Madrid Handicap) as I thought he’d probably get 85 or 86 and Colin (Keane) said he could maybe win it but then he gave him 91 and I said I’d stay in a maiden. . I don’t know where he goes now but there is no reason why he can’t run in good races, I think he’s a good horse. . Jamie thought he might get further. He said he travelled really smoothly but parked a little bit in front, just got a little bit idle, but he said he was full of horse. . Colin has ridden him in all his work and he likes him a lot.
