After race at Cork Sun, 10th Dec, 2023 (1st)

It is a great win and I must dedicate it to my wife Claire who lost her mother Peggy last week. She was always the first one to ring me after we won a race so this is great for Claire and my family,. We have been jumping hurdles all year but the lads have been saying to jump fences and she is a fantastic jumper who is improving all the time. We were hopeful as she was in great form and Danny gave her a fantastic ride. Credit also to the lads Larry, Eddie, Justin and Dylan at home as they have done fantastic work with her. We have had the family for three generations and you could write what I know about training horses on a postage stamp, as breeding is our game. I'm delighted for Tadhg (O'Sullivan, joint-owner) who has been with me with our horses from the beginning.
