Dundalk Fri, 21st Feb, 2025  Exquisite Acclaim He's (Caffrey) going to have to improve 3lb next week!. Fair play to him and I'm delighted for him. He has worked hard and he rides this track very well. He is a very good kid. He had no pony racing experience before he came into my place. I think it is just over three years since he started to ride and he has passed out a lot of guys on the way. He works very hard, he works for me full-time at home. In all fairness to the young fella, he deserves everything he has got. You don't do that by not working and he has worked very, very hard. He rides every track really well and he does his homework. I think he will hold his own as a pro. He will have all the support of mine and my owners. The only thing is, I need a new apprentice now!. It was a little bit unexpected, I thought the other horse (Migdam) would have run well. This horse (Exquisite Acclaim) loves this place down here.

Dundalk Fri, 17th Jan, 2025  Exquisite Acclaim Tough!. Didn't stay the last day (ninth over an extended 10-furlongs) and we know that, but he's tough and he stays at it well. I have a young fella works for me, Conan Faulkner, who is sick in hospital and it will give him a boost. He's my travelling head lad. I wish him a speedy recovery and I dedicate this to him. Tom (O'Connor), one of the part owners, is in hospital as well. He didn't stay the last day and we made too much use of him, and Jamie gave him a great ride there tonight. He's dangerous over that trip.

Dundalk Wed, 30th Oct, 2024  Ferrari Desert It was very good. She had a good run in the Curragh the last day and she backed that up today. Keithen gave her a great ride again, he got her to switch off. She can be a little bit temperamental. Our plan was to come down the middle and everything worked out down the inside!. To be fair to the lads (stalls handlers), the lads know her and she has to go in last. Keithen rides a bit of work for me and he knocked a tune out of her. My brother saw her in the sales, she was cheap enough.
