Dundalk Fri, 8th Nov, 2024  Tribal Moon We brought him here last week and he went well. He was trained in Dubai last year, but they ran out of racing because it ended on 26th March. They sent him over to me summer time. We couldn't get a race for him because the ground was too dry. It has worked out and I'd say he will win again. Thank God we are flying now. That two-year-old that won last week (Perfect Pacemaker) was sold to Hong Kong yesterday.

Wexford Fri, 9th Aug, 2024  Sunchart I thought he would win everyday he ran over hurdles. Even that win today is still disappointing for him. There is a group race at Naas on the Flat and that's the plan for him now. He needs soft ground on the level. We are just running him rather than having him doing nothing at home. There is no big plans for him over hurdles. I'm not saying he won't run again over hurdles before Naas but there is no big plan. He is obviously not as good over hurdles. When we started him over hurdles we were thinking bigger than this. When he got beaten at Thurles we gave up on hurdles for a while. He runs terrible at the Curragh, he is bet before he comes out of the stalls. The handicapper is surely not going to mark him high because he isn't running to a high mark. Unless he improves there is no big future for him over hurdles. Willie Slattery, representing

Leopardstown Thu, 8th Aug, 2024  Crystal Black There is a bit of interest from Australia in him and there are negotiations going on that he might go for the Melbourne Cup. The lads want to hold onto half of him but we’ll know more in the next few days. If he was in the first three today that deal was on the table. It’s a kind of a fairytale really. He just keeps improving and improving. He had issues when we got him first with allergies and this year has just been amazing. You are always afraid that you are one run away from going over the top.
