Cork Sun, 6th Apr, 2025  Saratoga Special she deserved that and has got stronger this year. We are happy with her although Shane said she was very keen in the early stages. He’d have forgiven her being beaten as she was so keen but was fresh and well. If there is a good pace she could stay six furlongs and we’ll look forward to a nice year. She’ll come back here for the Polonia Stakes next month.

Dundalk Fri, 21st Feb, 2025  California Dreamer She was just unlucky not to pick up one last year. I'm very, very happy with it (performance). Yes, it will be (seven furlongs to a mile in Pattern races this year). She has all the big-race entries, so we will sit down and talk and see what Ryan (McElligott), Kia (Joorabchian) and Robson (Aguiar) say. Without a doubt we will be keen to get her back on turf soon. She has strengthened up and has trained on. She definitely will improve plenty (from the run). Wayne said it came easy to her.

Dundalk Wed, 29th Jan, 2025  Red Evolution I’m delighted with him and he is a horse that has showed us plenty of potential. He had a lovely run first time out and he has run in some lovely races. In the latter half of the year we gelded him and that has really made a difference: it has just removed some distractions. It was lovely in the last 150 yards just to see him knuckle down and pull away from them. Jamie said he took plenty of pulling up and said he feels like a horse that grown up. He seems one that will be competitive over five and six furlongs going forward. Today was the main plan to break his maiden tag and to see where we go from here. He's a nice-moving horse, he wouldn't be a soft-ground horse. We'll see what is up here between now and the start of the season. We might wait for some nice ground.

Dundalk Fri, 17th Jan, 2025  Mehman It was great to see him back winning up here.  . Declan said he broke lovely and he got a nice tow into the straight and then went on and asserted. . He loved it, he was very relaxed beforehand. We left the tongue-tie off because it was only aggravating him when we were putting it on. Chris Hayes rode him last time and he said to take everything off and take the blinkers off as well. He was much more relaxed today. . Just delighted to get a winner with Declan. He was just telling me that he rode a winner for my dad 30 years ago. That is his first winner for me and I've been trying over the years because he is one of the best jockeys of the last 25 years. It is a pleasure to have him. He is very decisive and very strong. He used to be a five-furlong horse, but he has lost the edge there. He got a beautiful tow in from the speed horses and just went on-probably won a bit too easy, actually. There will be consequences down the line, but it is great to have it. . There is a seven coming up, I think, in two or three weeks' time. If not, we will find something similar for him.
