After race at Killarney Sun, 6th Oct, 2024 (1st)  Say It So has plenty ability on his day but it is just getting him right, and today he travelled in snatches with me. Down the back straight, I had to get after him and gave him a slap down the shoulder but to be fair, I was going well turning in and knew if I got a good jump at the third-last, which I did, that I was going to get there. I have to thank Eric as I had my first winner over jumps at Listowel last Thursday, so I'm very grateful. E McNamara

After race at Cork Mon, 5th Aug, 2024 (1st)  I thought it was an exceptional ride by Conor as he is a very difficult horse. He has become very slow in coming out of starting stalls and even starting his race today, he just doesn't want to know about it for the first mile. It was perseverance, without being too hard on him, that has paid off and he stays really well. I thought the extra quarter of a mile would suit but he has become so roguey at the start of his races. He flies home every day though and having run well here in the past, we came back as it suits him; it is a matter of picking the right tracks for him. Going to Wexford in two days time was also a thought of ours but with the parade ring being where it is, it would be the wrong track.
