After race at Dundalk Fri, 24th Apr, 2015 (1st)

He's a good rider. He had strict instructions to follow Fran Berry (on Shabra Emperor) but two furlongs out decided to stop following him!. That's the horse's 68th start and he's been leading the yearlings for the last six months. The owner (the trainer) was out of luck in the last so that will keep us going.

Edward Lynam

After race at Dundalk Fri, 21st Mar, 2014 (1st)

The nature of the course has changed a lot since they put in the false rail and it doesn't really suit him as he needs cover.

Edward Lynam

After race at Curragh Sun, 1st Sep, 2013 (1st)

He's a bit of a character and it's good to get a win with him again. Ray is a nice lad. He comes in to ride out once a week and he gave him a good ride there as this horse would know plenty.

After race at Dundalk Fri, 27th Jan, 2012 (1st)

Akasaka was put up to a mark of 82 by the stroke of the handicappers pen. On the other hand Iron Major has earned every pound of his 84 rating. I'm baffled then as to how Iron Major could be 12/1 and Akasaka just 9/2.

Edward Lynam

After race at Dundalk Tue, 12th Jul, 2011 (1st)

On the ratings Jembatt had to finish in front of him by two or three lengths but he likes it round here and some of the others are maybe rated a bit high. The owner could do with a few quid so I'll take it!

Edward Lynam

After race at Dundalk Fri, 22nd Oct, 2010 (1st)

I didn't think there was much between the pair of them. Pat had the better draw on Arcadian Dream so I fancied him more.
