Dundalk Wed, 18th Dec, 2024  Your Call Noel has been very good to me since I was an apprentice and, especially in the last couple of years, we have joined up in a good relationship. I go in there a morning a week especially now that he has gone more to the Flat than jumps. He's a gentleman to ride for and I'm very lucky to be in the position I am.

Dundalk Fri, 15th Nov, 2024  Dark Ace He's a good horse, I like this horse a lot. I bought him in Goresbridge for 40 grand at the breeze-up sales.  . He disappointed me the first day but we ran him over seven and I probably shouldn't have, it was my fault. He ran too keen and sort of half ran away that day. He fell in a hole up the straight in Naas. . Then we ran him in Navan and he ran a bit with the choke out and we just couldn't get him to settle. We did a lot of work with him and fair play to Adam and the guys at home. He has really settled down and has really manned up. . I think you could step this horse back to five (furlongs) with the pace he has. . I'm looking forward to him for next year, he is going to have a break. . He has two runs for the all-weather finals and there is a 150 grand race for three-year-olds in Newcastle, and he has one more run to get for that. We might do that with him.

Curragh Sat, 31st Aug, 2024  Rappell We thought about leaving him off after his last win. I was kicking myself as I had him entered here but went to Cork because it was three-year-old only,. I wanted to run him once here as I thought he was a horse that would suit the place, I'm glad I did now. I think he lost his stick but once they are responding they don't need it. He doesn't kill himself in front by the looks of it, the last furlong looked like coming up the Cheltenham hill!. We might have one more go with him. I think he'll be a better horse next year, we'll either put him in the sales or keep him ourselves for next year.
