Limerick Thu, 26th Dec, 2024  Shesakindofmagic we bought her out of Mags Mullins’ yard in January as she is a half-sister to (stablemate) Kiki Badger and had a good run on debut at Clonmel. I rang Derek O’Connor, who rode her, and he said she’d win during Christmas - but at this meeting last year. She missed the meeting though, as she pulled a muscle so I ended up buying her at the sales in January (for £8,000). I couldn’t believe how cheap she was so this is brilliant and she picks up bonuses for her owners today too.

Wexford Mon, 28th Oct, 2024  Ira Hayes We were very, very disappointed after the first day. We went to Listowel thinking he'd win and we are still not sure what went wrong. It was very, very wet that day, it was over two and a half and he was quite keen for his first day at school. He didn't run that bad and if our expectations weren't so high we wouldn't have been disappointed. You kind of lose confidence then.

Galway Sat, 26th Oct, 2024  Meehall Calum gave him a beautiful ride and claiming the 7lb off 12 stone was a big help. They went a good gallop; they were on a nice part of the track and he jumped really well. He likes the track, the trip and gets through that softer ground. He is very versatile, that's his second win of the summer and we'll look for something similar over either fences or hurdles in the next few weeks.

Tipperary Sun, 6th Oct, 2024  Hillhead Runner I suppose she got an easy enough lead in front and she stayed at it. . When I went down through the form of the race, I thought there wasn’t much pace in it and I was saying to David to jump off and make plenty of use of her. 

Galway Mon, 9th Sep, 2024  Neveradullmoment He is a different horse here, he jumped great and Mark gave him a lovely ride. Macgiloney was the horse I feared as he is a seasoned warrior, but our horse winged fences and won well. We'll hopefully find a race for him here back in October and you wouldn't rule him out for next year's Galway Plate; we'll mind him anyway. He likes that ground so might be more of a summer type.

Killarney Thu, 22nd Aug, 2024  Meehall He won this race two years ago and jumped superbly tonight. Killashee (a front-runner) took him off his feet here a month ago and he ran no race but things worked out well today and Daniel King gave him a super ride and is very capable. . He jumped from fence to fence, stays really well and will go to Listowel (September) and Galway (October) next. Conor (son) got a fall in Tramore, where he got a kick, so unfortunately was out since yesterday but is back on Saturday.
