Thurles Thu, 28th Nov, 2024  Malinas Glory At last - it was a while coming! He did it nicely in the end today. He is belonging to a 10-member syndicate from all over and some are local to us, so I'm delighted.

Punchestown Sun, 24th Nov, 2024  Touch Me Not Sam said he got as much fun riding him as he has on any horse in a long time. He came from the point-to-point field in England. He actually fell at the last in his point-to-point, believe it or not. I was worried about the ground but it was a good performance. He obviously came on from the last day. He was very keen at home as a young horse and he wasn’t showing me anything, but he’s come a long way in six months. I’m not sure where he’ll go next, but we’ll get him home and see where we go.

Cork Sun, 3rd Nov, 2024  Oscars Brother I'm delighted to have got off the mark and for everyone involved and the horse got a great ride from Dan. It is my home track as I'm from 15 minutes out the road although I'm based in Golden, Co Tipperary. I did the trainers' course around Cheltenham time this year and I've had one other Flat runner, along with this horse. I have three riding out but just him to run until Christmas time. I'll concentrate on my own horses for the time being and see how it goes. I rode a four-timer here in 2013 which seems a long time ago and it was always a lucky track for me, so I love coming here. This horse is a novice until December so things will get tough for him although whatever he does over hurdles is a bonus as he will be a good chaser. I might look at a three-mile handicap hurdle around Christmas but today had been his target for a while. I found the race hard to watch as I was quite nervous and think it is easier to ride them - I'll leave that to Dan as he is doing a good job.
