Clonmel Thu, 8th Jan, 2026  Radiator Springs I'm delighted for the lads (South Ros Racing Syndicate) who have been great supporters of ours and had Annexation with us previously. We've always had a bit of luck, thankfully, and fair play to Colin Bowe who recommended this mare to us. She wasn't overly expensive, so it's great. It is nice to see her back up her first run (third in Naas) for us and we'll see what the handicapper thinks and see from there.

Cork Sun, 23rd Nov, 2025  Halsafari I have been one of the lads’ biggest fans over the years with what they’ve done with all those good horses and, even yesterday, they had a horse (Glen Kiln) finish second in a Grade 1. I have been friends with them and been curious about how they’d done things all my life, so was delighted when Michael asked me to take this horse a couple of months ago. I’m very lucky to have him and not too many have one out of Solerina. Between their three really good horses Limestone Lad, Solerina and Sweet Kiln, they earned €1.8m in prize money which is incredible even at today's levels.

Naas Sun, 9th Nov, 2025  Port Authority he’s a nice horse but we thought he’d come on from today as a lot of ours are coming on from their first run. We kept it simple and Jack said he had a blow. He’s very straightforward and I’d say he’ll stay further. He could be a horse that could go for the Formby Novices’ Hurdle (Grade 1 at Aintree in December) as a few of the boys are from the UK.

Gowran Park Sat, 8th Nov, 2025  Break My Soul Keith was happy with her, and it was straightforward. She was ready to start today, and I was confident she would win. Last year we were only killing time over hurdles. I wanted to go for a chase straight away and luckily enough Keith talked sense into me and said to keep her for this season. She got black type here in the Red Mills (Hurdle, finishing second) and I’d say she just didn’t stay the 2m4f at Aintree. We’ll look at those graded mares’ races and won’t be afraid to go against the geldings as well. We’ll try and stay to two miles and she’s definitely the best one we’ve ever had.

Cork Sun, 2nd Nov, 2025  Echoing Silence He is a lovely young horse, did it nicely in the end and the second horse is a decent horse as well. I got nervous after his mistake at the second-last but he jumped the last well and galloped out well. He is unbeaten and has done nothing wrong so hopefully he’ll keep progressing. There aren’t many options during Christmas so he could run in Leopardstown’s Grade One novice over two miles. I think nice ground is important to him.

Clonmel Thu, 23rd Oct, 2025  Spellacy's Cross He is very uncomplicated and has a great style of racing as he is very relaxed in himself. We're very lucky John O'Neill got involved in him and we're delighted with him. From an early age, he had been taught how to jump and he has plenty of scope. He is a brother to a good horse Rapid Escape, so is nicely bred. He really takes to fences but his hurdle mark also looks nice, so he can do both.

Killarney Sun, 5th Oct, 2025  Inchidaly Copper We were thinking he was well handicapped over hurdles for a long time and every day we went out we fancied him, but he has been unlucky. He had won here last year over a similar trip so today's race should have suited. He is a great horse and has now won nine races between the track and point to points. We are very lucky to have him and put the blinkers on him to keep him focusses, but he is genuine. We had two runners in the point to point at Castletown Geoghegan today so my brother Alex went there but unfortunately it didn't work out for him. We have 20 horses in and he is the only one for the track. Hopefully after Christmas some out of our five-year-olds can win point to points.

Gowran Park Sat, 4th Oct, 2025  Daydream Nation We really liked him and with the race cutting up since declarations, we were confident. He was impressive in his point to point for Colin Bowe and Rory Breen, who is now involved in him, picked him out. There are a good group involved, including my mam. We'll see what the programme says although he wants nice ground and has the option of running in the UK.

Clonmel Thu, 2nd Oct, 2025  Spellacy's Cross He deserved that as he had never done anything wrong, is a lovely mannered horse and we are lucky to have him. I took a chance in buying him (for 3,000gns last September) as he had a grand run one day, is a well-bred horse and it is nice to get one like him for that sort of money. He also has a nice mark over hurdles. He is jointly-owned by an American man John O'Neill whose daughter Claire is here today.
