Naas Sun, 26th Jan, 2025  Charlus That was a very pleasing first run for a Churchill off the Flat. I was afraid he’d be too keen and was really pleased how he settled and jumped. He had a couple of little setbacks earlier in the season and we’re hoping that he’ll improve enough to merit his entry in the Triumph Hurdle. It’s a new partnership (The Why Knot Partnership) between a number of groups hatched over a social occasion. They have four or five horses, mostly dual-purpose types, and our aim would be to have runners at the likes of Cheltenham and Ascot.

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 Fri, 29th Nov, 2024  Touch The Sound Her run up here the last day, we walked around that night. The first thing I . I felt like I went good, even fractions and she stayed going to the line. I said to Fozzy, even before the race, that if someone else wants to go harder than me, grand, but I said I would make it a test tonight. She lengthened the whole way to the line and took a bit of pulling up. A grand filly.

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.
