Limerick Thu, 13th Mar, 2025  Flash De Touzaine He needs good ground as he has breathing issues,. I tweaked a few things with his wind, he had nice ground today and he'll now head back to Ayr for the Scottish National. He was third in 2023 and was in the race last year but it was soft, so didn't run. When you look at horses running on TV they run well, they run badly, but they never run badly for no reason and breathing is his problem. He loves heavy ground but can't breath on it, so good ground helps him a lot.

Punchestown Sun, 12th Jan, 2025  Nine Graces We were kind of expecting that, she’s very fit. When she was running over hurdles, off a higher mark, three miles on soft ground was what she wanted. Her jumping was a revelation there, she was very quick. She’s not the biggest mare but she’s just very accurate. She might squeeze in, off her revised mark, into something nice - a nice, staying handicap chase like the Leinster National in Naas. She’s a winter soft-ground mare. I’d be hoping next year that she could make up into a graded mare over a trip. I’m delighted for Finny, who is working full-time for us. He’s getting the opportunities as we’re splitting the rides between Sean (Flanagan) and himself. He’s a very good rider.

Leopardstown Sun, 29th Dec, 2024  Brighterdaysahead Let’s enjoy today. I was nervous watching it as I was wondering if they were going too fast. We’ve always thought the world of her and we’re going to enjoy today, but I wanted to give a word to Jack Kennedy as she’s his mare and he’ll be back riding all these horses once he’s fit. Sam is doing a brilliant job but Jack is first jockey.
