Cork Fri, 26th Apr, 2024  Spoken Truth I won this maiden with Harzand at the start of his career and this is a gorgeous, kind big horse who would like better ground. I love the way he came home over the last furlong as he only hit his stride. I'm thinking of running him in the Gallinule (Stakes, 1m2f, May) as it would be a logical way to go and that is his most likely next race. As the season progresses he will fill into that big body of his and it is early days in his career. We are very hopeful with him but time will tell. we have only had seven or eight runners this year and they've all run well but I've been waiting for a bit of better ground. Most of mine will appreciate better ground so I'm waiting for it.

Dundalk Fri, 1st Mar, 2024  Maestro Stick the owners (Phoenix Bloodstock Syndicate) are on the plane to Lanzarote and said if he came first, to claim him back. I was only running him to get him up a few pound to get him into races because it is so hard to get in. I've spent the last two months trying to get him in. He ran well over 1m2f and he stays but we said we would try him over six as he has loads of speed. They went hard and we took our time.
