Gowran Park Mon, 3rd Jun, 2024  La Juliana There was a lot of ground to make up and he never panicked. I’d say she loved it and got a bit of confidence. . Her two last runs were in Cork and I’d say the track was a bit quick for her. She seemed to like it today. She’s grand at that level and I knew she’d win one race like that. It’s a low level but they are all appreciated. She’s genuine. . It was a great ride and it’s always a help to have that man on board.

Tipperary Tue, 28th May, 2024  Staysound Susie she was unlucky not have have won the Birdcatcher but I thought the trip might be short for her. She will stay seven (furlongs) but the soft ground helped bring in her stamina. We planned to hold her up but they didn't go fast enough so with the fact she stays seven, Ben said he'd kick on and he was able to dictate. We might go for a better handicap somewhere along the line over six or seven furlongs. the six lads are all from Fethard and they bred her. One is a bread man, another a retired superintendent, there's a farrier from Coolmore and another's father trained the winner of the Galway Hurdle — they're delighted.
