After race at Sligo Wed, 21st Aug, 2024 (1st)  He's a very game horse and battled back well. On winter ground he's okay over two miles but it's a bit sharp for him when the ground is better, and he gets this trip well. He missed his prep for Galway when the ground was too quick at Killarney, but he still ran a solid race there. We might give him a short break and then head to Listowel. The lads had a couple of horses with me before that were so moderate, they wouldn't even bring in the cows for you, so they're having great fun with this lad. He was inclined to strike into himself at his front shoulders and a physiotherapist recommended that we use elbow boots which are used on trotters in France. We had to get permission to use them and they seem to have done the job. Ray Hackett

After race at Punchestown Mon, 5th Feb, 2024 (1st)  It helped that they didn’t go a mad gallop early as he was stepping back up in trip, but he’s seen it out great,. Darragh gave him a fantastic ride and I’m delighted for the boys (Ballyvara Racing Syndicate) who are all here again. Ray Hackett

After race at Punchestown Mon, 15th Jan, 2024 (1st)  He ran well here the last day and just ran into one of Eddie Cawley’s and his horses are in great form. They went good and hard which suited us and stretched them out. He’s qualified for the final of the Full Circle Series (at the festival here). I think there is another race back here at the end of the month and we can give him a break after that. A huge thanks to Mags and Danny (Mullins) who were very straight with us when we bought the horse. We didn’t have to figure anything out as they told us everything. He has small little issues that need a bit of time between his races, he just gets a little stiff, so you wouldn’t rush him back out. The syndicate are all local Toomevara people, and I’m delighted to get them a winner. Ray Hackett

After race at Downpatrick Fri, 15th Sep, 2023 (1st)  Unfortunately he slipped up in Limerick last year. We always thought he was a nice horse and he had a lot of time off. Hopefully the way he is improving now, he might fulfil some of the early potential we would have hoped he would have had. Definitely (travelled well on the soft ground), it went slower in Tramore the last day so I wasn't too worried about the rain. He'll handle slow ground through the winter, but I don't think it is that bad out there. Maybe when you are riding the winner it is a bit easier!. I'm delighted for a good friend of mine, Kieran Stokes, it is the first winner in his colours so it meant a lot to me to ride a winner for him. Ms Margaret Mullins
