Ballinrobe Tue, 7th May, 2024  Monty's Way I train at the back of Fairyhouse racecourse - that's where my land is and I only have a couple of horses in training. It's a long time (2014) since my last winner and Portrade won three for me about ten years ago including a big handicap at Listowel. in fairness Monty's Way was running quite well when he unseated Keith (Donoghue) here the last day and during the last three weeks he's turned a corner. We've changed the way we train him and bring him to the beach in Mornington a couple of times a week and he loves that. Dropping back in trip was a worry but the fact that he had won on the Flat and that he likes better ground gave us hope that he'd run well, although he really wants further. Conor gave him a great ride. Fair play also to Joseph Smith who does a lot of work in the yard and he deserves a lot of the credit for this win. This will keep us going for a while and hopefully we'll have a bit of fun with him during the summer.
