Dundalk Fri, 10th Jan, 2025  Calm The Jets We knew he was a very, very good horse. We will probably aim for something like one of those Derby trials. He's green, he hung and he did everything wrong today, and he could just end up being a pretty smart horse. He's not a Derby horse, but he's up to landing in that black-type (Group 3) company - he might be better than that. I haven't had anything like him. He was just weak as a baby and we minded him. We were ready for today - he definitely needed today to learn. The family is very good. He does (show plenty at home) and I've nothing to go with him anyway!. He ran in that barrier trial in the middle of summer and he was so weak, it was just a day away for him. We think he has a big future. He is for sale, but we would want an awful lot of money for him because he is a very, very exciting horse. Open to offers, but we wouldn't be stressed. He's very sound and very easy to train. We'll probably step him up (in trip) the next day. He wants further, obviously. He will get further. He has a lovely action and I think he'd like a bit of nice ground (on turf). His next run will be on the turf.

Dundalk Wed, 4th Dec, 2024  Donna Nook Delighted, did it lovely. James was very good on her, just floated through them. She pricked her ears when she got to the front. We started her in mid-summer and then she went through a growing spurt. We took our time with her, and she is after repaying us back in spades, so we are very happy with that. She'll go out with a smile on her face, and we will speak to the connections and see what we will do for the spring. As James says, she will want a mile next year. We will take that step next year.
