Dundalk Wed, 18th Dec, 2024  Apache Outlaw The other horse, Current Option, is a very good horse and he owes us nothing. Apache Outlaw is on the way up. The other horse's best days are behind him, but he is still well able to compete in good races. I think he (Apache Outlaw) is a smart horse and he is going to go on a break now. We might want another run if we want to go to the All-Weather Finals, but we will look at that type of a target for him. It will be Newcastle - more money in Newcastle!. Ronnie is a top-class rider and he has been very lucky for me.

Dundalk Wed, 4th Dec, 2024  Comfort Line I thought Sean Davis' horse (Sayifyouwill) would win it, but these claimers can be very funny. We were weighted to beat the favourite (Shoot To Kill) with Skontonovski and Comfort Line. Nikki Swango was weighted to beat the whole lot of them, so I thought she was the best one in, in the race. I wasn't expecting a 1-2-3 now to be honest, but it was great. I had one in Laytown one day and I think it is the only one I can remember. He has been a great horse, a great servant and is rock-solid in his grade. In the likes of claimers, he is in at a right price. He's a good horse and good old fun.

Dundalk Wed, 27th Nov, 2024  Tribal Star He was a very expensive yearling from Godolphin, we bought him in July at the Horses In Training Sale. He's a big, raw horse - he's a huge horse, (by) Sea The Stars, takes a little bit of time. I think he will be a lovely horse to look forward to next year in staying handicaps. I think he could be a real staying horse for next year - he's just a big, raw baby and he is only going to get stronger. We just didn't make enough use of him here the last night. The plan today was always to make sure it was a test. In all fairness, Andy Oliver's horse came at him but he wasn't for stopping, he went on again. There's a big possibility he will go over hurdles at Christmas, maybe Leopardstown. We haven't done a whole pile (of schooling) with him as yet, but he'll be learning fairly quick!

Dundalk Wed, 27th Nov, 2024  Apache Outlaw He has improved this horse. I suppose he is not bred to sprint, but I think he is an out and out sprinter off a good fast pace. It was a good race and I don't know where the money came from, maybe it was the Colin Keane factor. I don't know, but he's not a bad horse. It is great for the lads. I'm delighted for them as they are great owners. The second ran a cracker, he got 10lb for winning the last day and he has upped his game. I'd say with Apache Outlaw we might just put him to bed for a while. We might come back for the All-Weather Finals in Newcastle and look at a race pre-race. He has to get a break at some stage.
