Navan Sat, 22nd Mar, 2025  Cardcounter He’s a nice horse, a good honest horse and stays well. He stayed going well and showed a good attitude. There might not be much left for him. That could be it for the year, we’ll see. He could be a proper staying chaser on soft ground next year.

Wexford Mon, 17th Mar, 2025  Bite That I could get used to this! He had the form to win but still had to go out and do it. It was a good day at the office and hopefully he can win again.

Thurles Thu, 6th Mar, 2025  Are You Busy That was needed! She was nearly entitled to do that on her form and she is a grand little mare and is a good little jumper. I'm quiet enough with just six or seven horses to run and she will tip away on good ground during the summer.

Navan Sun, 9th Feb, 2025  Better Days Ahead Better Days Ahead wasn't doing a stroke in front. It wasn't ideal, he needs something to make it. Jordan (Gainford on Three Card Brag) took him along for as long as he could and probably ran a good race in his own right. I was thrilled with Stellar Story. He keeps guessing at his fences and I told Danny (Gilligan) to try and get him around and try to get a bit of confidence into him. He gave him a brilliant ride - probably a bit unlucky. Number one, we had to try and get him around. I'd imagine Brown Advisory for Better Days Ahead and Stellar Story could go Brown Advisory as well. Three Card Brag needed that run to qualify for the Aintree Grand National.

Leopardstown Sun, 2nd Feb, 2025  Backtonormal The step up in trip and niceish ground suited and Conor was very good on him. He’s a good rider.

Thurles Thu, 21st Nov, 2024  Romella She has been running well but during the summer, when the ground had been well watered, she just stopped - she wants top of the ground. She had been in to run at every abandoned meeting here and was then due to be left off but instead we went to Limerick on Tuesday where they watered and it rained. It turned into tacky ground but Riche Deegan (jockey) didn't murder her once she was beaten. I said to the owner that we'd bring her today and whatever happens, happens. She is in here again next Thursday and will run if she is ok.

Navan Sun, 17th Nov, 2024  Better Days Ahead we bought him off Warren Ewing (Constitution Hill’s producer) a couple of years ago and bought him to be a big chaser. He looks like a chaser but it has been a slow burner to where we are getting with these horses. Noel and Valerie (Moran, Bective Stud) are massive supporters of Cullentra and they have invested a lot of money in racing. They are getting their dividends now. It takes time to get where we are and to get winners for them in Navan, their local track, is like a dream come true. I'm absolutely delighted for them and this is a special weekend. obviously, he is entered in the Drinmore - that might just come a bit too soon. We will look at something probably around Christmas. He is a Martin Pipe (Hurdle) winner and it is a race that good horses come out of.

Naas Sun, 10th Nov, 2024  Miss Tempo That was great, I'm delighted with that. He jumped brilliant and I thought Darragh was brilliant on him. It's lovely to see him back to form again, he's got a lot of class. He was very good here back in January and it's nice to get him back. He loves jumping and Darragh said at the first one down the back he couldn't see anything so he just squeezed up and he took off, he winged it. I love that with those two milers, it's always good to watch. I'm delighted for Cheveley Park. We said we'd come here and just see where we were and obviously we'll look at all those better races now. We'll get him home and see. I think he goes on any ground, he won on very testing ground here in January. I worried that the ground might just be a bit too good for him, but he seemed to love it. There is the Tingle Creek or the race at Leopardstown.

Naas Sun, 10th Nov, 2024  Miss Tempo I'm delighted with that. Mikey was brilliant on her, really positive. I'm delighted for him, he gave her a super ride, and delighted for the lads. It's lovely to have John (O'Shea) here, he doesn't get over that often so it's brilliant that she's won when he's here. She loves it here and she's won well in the end. In fairness she's a hardy mare and she's got some really good form. She just lost her form a bit but it's lovely to have her back. She's rated 115, she might rob a bit of black type somewhere, but it's probably more handicapping than that. We'll see what the handicapper thinks but if there was an opportunity to get black type you wouldn't be opposed it.
