Dundalk Fri, 20th Dec, 2024  Shoot To Kill we left tactics up to Jack (Kearney), he used his head and gave him a brilliant ride. It was probably one of the first nights that the horse has been dropped in. It was an upgrade in the performance considering we were a couple wide off the rail and had a significantly bad draw around here. If they go good and quick over the seven-furlong trip, you can get into it. It worked out perfect for him. Hopefully, that will give him a bit of confidence now and we will mix it between the claimers and the handicaps. He's a grand fun horse for the lads (Shamrock Thoroughbreds). We've had him nearly 12 months now and it took us a while to get things right with him because he is not a simple ride. We will rock on through the winter and find something suitable in January. I'm after using the young lad (Kearney) a couple of times and I'm quite impressed by him. He will be another kid that we will kind of support into the new year. He has kind of been mixing it on both codes, but the lads have highly recommended him and I'll be using him plenty throughout the winter months.

Dundalk Wed, 13th Nov, 2024  Shoot To Kill It has been a great day, brilliant day. Thrilled to get going and a day I will never forget. The horse was good and Donagh was very good on him. We were drawn quite wide here the last night and things didn't really go well for us. He's been slipping down the weights. Threatened to win one this year, just hasn't fallen right for him. Inside draw there today, kept it very simple on him. It was the perfect set up. He has plenty of talent this horse, so I'm hoping that this will get confidence back into him. Hopefully, he will represent us well through the winter months. There's a lot of special people out there who wished me well and it is a proud day in my life, a new chapter in my life ready to begin. Half my life working in the industry and a lot of work and effort has gone into today. We are building for the future. To be a Shamrock Thoroughbreds horse, obviously something that I have put a lot of time and effort into. That's very special. Hopefully, the ball will get rolling.

Curragh Sat, 28th Sep, 2024  Keke He's just progressed all season and won well today. The handicapper will have his say now but to win four handicaps in a year is pretty cool.

Curragh Sat, 10th Aug, 2024  Keke That is three in a row and they were all photos so that’s the right way to do it. We have been hitting the bar with a good few seconds this year at the Curragh so it’s nice to get a winner. It’s my favourite track. I’ve been training for Andrew Cohen (Wood Hall Stud) a good while now and we’ve had a bit of luck together. He’s just gradually moved up through the (handicap) grades this year. Billy (Lee) couldn’t ride him today, so we took the 5lb off him. James won five for us on Celtic Revival and has probably ridden about ten winners for us. He’s a good rider and is hard to get now as people are cottoning on to him. He’s nearly as tall as me!. He might get into the Bold Lad but whether he’s good enough for something like that we’ll think about it.
