Wexford Mon, 17th Mar, 2025  Small Doses he had a few decent runs and if he hadn't been in the first three today we would have been very disappointed. He was plenty green and reached for the second last, but then jumped the last nicely. He was wandering around in front, but he is a well-bred fella and hopefully he'll get better the older he gets. He's won his maiden now, albeit an unplaced one and we'll see what he gets and go from there.

Cheltenham Thu, 13th Mar, 2025  Air Of Entitlement We knew we had the stamina and obviously the New course suits. We always worry about being too handy in this race and Rachael got it spot-on. I thought they went a really good gallop and she gave her some spin. She stayed on really well. I thought when we winged the last we had a chance and I knew Keith (Donoghue, riding Sixandahalf) was up there the whole way, which historically hasn’t worked. It’s a long way up that straight, I thought we had a chance after jumping the last and I’m delighted.

Fairyhouse Sat, 22nd Feb, 2025  Westernersunrise It's great, she's a lovely mare over a trip,. We'll tip away and see what we can find for her, I can't wait to get her going chasing. She stayed going, it looked turning in that she was going to finish third or fourth. She plugged on gamely. It's nice compensation after Dancing Jeremy getting a tumble in the last. He's up and everything is alright with him so that's the main thing.

Punchestown Thu, 20th Feb, 2025  Prophet's Corner That’s my first winner on the track, I’ve had 24 in point-to-points. He’s kind of a yard favourite. I suppose three miles is his thing and when you get into heavy ground that’s mainly his thing. He’s very good on heavy ground, he can go the same speed on soft as he can on hard. He’s one-paced, but stays going. We’ll try for another hurdle and see how that goes after today. He might have won too far, but we’ll take it. It’s our first winner so we’re not going to complain. Darragh is my brother so it’s a family success. It’s all in-house which keeps the costs down!. I just want to say a word about Mikey O’Sullivan. It’s an awful tragedy — there are no words for it.

Punchestown Thu, 20th Feb, 2025  William Munny The first thing I want to say is that we’re all thinking about Michael (O'Sullivan) and his family today. This is the first winner in those colours since. This horse has been doing everything wrong in his hurdle races. He’s been way too keen, making mistakes and he’s still running to figures to suggest that he’s there or thereabouts winning a Supreme Novices. Today he settled away better and jumped better. He was on and off it. He got a run on him going down the hill. He has so much natural ability this horse that he can’t understand why the riders want to take him back. He’s hardly having a blow there today, that was his last piece of work before the Supreme. I know nothing about time but I’ve had two of the top fellas tell me the race in Fairyhouse, the time he was beaten and they were 24 lengths clear of the rest, that the first and second’s sectional splits were good enough to win nine out of the last ten Supremes. He’s put himself right in the picture there. He was a very good bumper horse and in his two runs over hurdles he was way too keen and made too many mistakes. He put it all together there today and we’ll be on the boat and I wouldn’t be swapping him for anything in it. In a fast run race over there you’d be hoping he’d settle away a bit better. He has the lot.

Navan Sun, 9th Feb, 2025  Maxxum He had a good run in Gowran the last day over three miles, probably didn't get home. We thought coming back to that trip today, if he got a soft enough lead, it would work well. Danny gave him a very clever ride and it was great. He did (battle well) - he picked up well, but he got a breather at the right time. We will probably go Coral Cup now I'd say.

Fairyhouse Wed, 5th Feb, 2025  Mickie Angel I thought I’d have won with him before now but I got it wrong the last day, we rode him too positively and he was too keen. He loved that ground and in or around that trip is ideal for him. He looks like a horse that will jump a fence: a big staying horse. It’s nice to win a race with him.

Cork Fri, 17th Jan, 2025  The Story So Far Philip gave him a lovely ride and went out with a plan to be handy. He was a little lairy over the first but once he got a lead and into a rhythm, he was good. He was the highest-rated horse, so all he did was run to his rating. He looks around but that's why he has headgear on and three miles is his trip. He'll go handicapping now. The syndicate (Milkers Syndicate) are all local and from Ballingarry: they've had a few horses with us over the years and it is great to get another winner for them.

Clonmel Wed, 15th Jan, 2025  Hillsdale It took him a long time to settle down and learn about racing. He was a bit of a lunatic but lately he’s started to settle into it, and he was very good there bar the third last. He stepped into the ditch but hopefully he’ll learn from it.

Naas Mon, 16th Dec, 2024  Hillsdale That was great. He jumped well, bar one, and he did it very well. He just took a long time to get the hang of it, but we're delighted with him. He's a bit mad and he's not an easy ride. Jordan has ridden him before and had two falls off him over hurdles. It's not that he doesn't jump, but he just takes his eye off it. He settled well today, they went very fast, and he came home well. I was surprised, he was very good. I don't know where we go from here, he's probably going to get a fair hike for that as he won far enough. He looks an exciting enough horse on that.

Fairyhouse Sun, 1st Dec, 2024  Washington this is the biggest race I've won so far in my career and it's very cool, because this horse is a little bit older and has a few miles on the clock. To get him back loving it like this and to put in a performance like that was exceedingly satisfying. this race closes early and I thought with the ground in Ireland being quite dry this autumn, that it might suit us and this horse has very sporting owners. We had it in our mind as it obviously has huge prize-money and I thought the track would really suit him. When he won at Chepstow last time out I considered the Greatwood but I thought the track wouldn't suit at all. On this place, with a big galloping track, I thought it would be perfect for him. Very rarely in horse racing a plan comes together but this one actually did!
