Dundalk Fri, 7th Mar, 2025  Weegeebear I rode him over five (furlongs) here not too long ago when he missed the break completely and never got into the race. Today, the race worked out perfect for him. I dropped him in, took my time, they went hard out in front and they set the race up for me really. We were a little bit off the bridle turning in when I got a thump into him, and he got going, picked up and did it well. Once he is on a going day, he's a genuine little horse. He has plenty of ability, he doesn't lack that way.

Fairyhouse Sat, 14th Dec, 2024  Portarlington He jumped a bit high coming back from fences last time and ran lazily, but Josh knows him well and gave him a great ride. He didn’t let it turn into a sprint, and he’s won very well. He’ll continue to mix and there is a two-mile handicap at Dundalk in January, a 47-65, that he can go for.

Dundalk Fri, 13th Dec, 2024  The Bear Trap We are delighted to get a maiden out of him. We thought he would have won by now. He got chinned on the line here last year and he had been unlucky in a few handicaps. He ran in two handicaps up the Curragh and got stopped one day. The next day he got knocked out after two furlongs, so his race was over. He is a bit of a monkey. With the visor back on today, he put it all in. He battled well enough too. I think he was (on top at the line). When he went, Nathan put down his stick so I hope we will be okay - they are hard to get! It is great to get a win. He'll be kept going up here, we'll see what the handicapper does. He is 67 and is probably going to go up. he had come down a couple of pounds. We stuck him in this, we just said we would put him in and see what the opposition was going to be like. When they were in around 70, 71 and 72, it was winnable.

Tramore Tue, 26th Nov, 2024  Portarlington The first day we ran him in Limerick the ground was too quick for him and Keith said he didn’t come down the hill. He told us that day that he’d win the next day and he was right. We were confident coming here today and the ground was probably the only worry with it being so heavy but he has plenty of knee action and he handled it well. It’s great for the boys (Pipe Down Syndicate). It’s only their second horse win me and that’s three winners now so it’s great.

Fairyhouse Tue, 12th Nov, 2024  Portarlington that’s just his second run for me and Keith (Donoghue, brother) rode him the last day and loved him. He said he gallops and stays but didn’t come down the hill that day in Limerick on quick ground. He was good today and Josh gave him a great ride. He might go again at Navan on Sunday: the two-mile race might be a bit short for him but it’s a big stiff track.
