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!
