Leopardstown Sun, 20th Oct, 2024  Elizabeth Jane She deserved that win, she's a very talented filly. . That was only her fourth run of the year, she ran fourth in the Irish Oaks and ran a very good race. She had been working nicely and that was what I expected, a very good performance today. 

Curragh Sat, 31st Aug, 2024  Acapulco Bay We're very happy with him, he was very green in front,. The last day he came from behind and Ryan said he never really picked the bridle up at all. He felt that he was in second gear the whole time. It was new to him but he was very happy with him. He really didn't go forward at all and was just waiting the whole time because he hadn't been in front before. Obviously he's going to be a horse that will take his time in a good race. We saw what he did the last day over seven when he came flashing home. The last day he travelled and quickened and today he didn't go forward at all because all he was doing was looking, he was getting no lead. I'd say he's quicker than he looked today. The second horse ran a lovely race. He has done plenty of work and has been there a long time, working all the time, but he's just been asleep. That's why we run them, get them out and see. Wayne was happy with him, complimentary of him.

Tramore Sat, 17th Aug, 2024  Nostra Casa I had never ridden him before. He has plenty of ability but you just have to get things right with him. The ground is key with him. The first furlong-and-a-half is just about getting him to jump and travel. Even throughout the race he just doesn't help you, he was behind the bridle and is just a lazy lad. Once you get him travelling and going forward he keeps finding for you.

Curragh Sat, 10th Aug, 2024  Delacroix He was very green the first day and he’s still very green. Ryan said they were waiting in the stalls a long time and he had a hold of him but when he let him go he just went up,.

Galway Mon, 29th Jul, 2024  Feud I was saying to Danny afterwards that it's quite intriguing going forward as to what way he can go because that was quite impressive. The nerves beforehand, it wouldn't matter if it was a bumper in Ballinrobe I'd be under pressure. The last 48 hours have been hell but we're here and we're through it. I loved the way he did it and I loved the way he jumped. He was a bit fumbly and made a few mistakes in Listowel. I thought that might be still in him a bit but he was very clever. He jumped some of them beautifully and the ones he didn't he just kicked them out of the way and never missed a beat. He's a very interesting horse going forward. I'm delighted for the lads, it's important to emphasise the importance of them to me. I've never got a chance to buy a horse like this. We'll explore his ceiling over hurdles and if it's a case that he comes back to being a lovely dual-purpose horse we'll see. I'm not thinking about that, we'll go home and make a plan. Beforehand I said we're either going to Listowel for the Lartigue or else the Royal Bond. The dream has come true, for now.
