I've been a very absent member for the last 12 months. Been busy with work, horses etc. Thanks for the good wishes after the win.

Beara had every chance and the change in tactics has worked well...

Presenting Beara runs tomorrow. He's in good form and Colm hopes the better ground might help him. I'm not so sure he has the speed for 2m4f on good ground but will find out tomorrow. 25 in the race...

Yeah we have a nice bunch at the moment. Pity Raise The Beat got injured as he would have given us some good fun through the Summer.

Thanks guys. Wasn't very confident after the last day when I was making all sorts of excuses about 2 miles being too short and the pace being ridiculously slow. He's got one gear, which is not slow,...

Presenting Beara runs tomorrow. I wouldn't fancy him.

I didn't expect to hear from you for a few more days. Probably no harm the bar ran out of drink.....I've seen you in action at Leopardstown!!

Barry won't surface for a week!!

Well I wasn't sure but I am now!!

Presenting Beara runs in Down Royal this evening. I'm not sure about the drop in trip but he has come on for his last run and there should be plenty of pace in the race.

We also bought a Fruits of...

Good luck with him. There was a race in him before his injury.

Raise The Beat runs tomorrow night at Punchestown. His form is there for all to see. I'd be disappointed if he isn't in the top three, fighting out the finish.

Thanks for the commiserations, it is appreciated. These things happen in racing. All owners know what they are getting themselves into. But still, it hurt. The owner/breeder was fairly upset but he...

You know me, I'm not a gambler!!

Yes, my first trip to Downpatrick!! Official going this morning was good, good to firm in places after 6mm of rain.

We have Vicky Miller running in the second at Downpatrick tomorrow. Our first horse with Gordon Elliott. Just the way it worked out rather than a change of direction.

Raise The Beat runs on Sunday at Leopardstown off 8st 4lbs with Niall McCullough on board.

We also have new horse Vicky Miller in the bumper in Tramore. She's a fun horse for the Summer.

Roddy, I know myself what its like when you are with a trainer for a long time. Trust is crucially important and a friendship builds up too.

Had a winner on Champion Hurdle and Gold Cup day now. Just the two days to do now!! Very pleased with this evening. He didn't beat much at all, but its the easiest 5 grand he will ever win.

Raise The Beat runs again this eveing. Two miles for the first time. His form is in the book so not a lot more to say!

Hopefully. We'd like a dual purpose horse for the Summer and he will be handicapped on the flat and we won't run him again in a maiden hurdle until after 1 March which means he can win one and remain...

RTB will probably get a high enough mark after that but he should hopefully get into all the better handicaps during the Summer. We will dual purpose him. Touch wood we will have some fun. It wasn't...

I'm hopeful of a good run but it won't be easy beating the front pair and a few others lurking about. He'll obviously strip a bit fitter than his first run on the track which came after a break but...

That sums it up well

I hope its the one which sees his head in front rather than being a comedian!!

The objective of every connection when they go out is for their horse to finish in the first instance. Once that objective is being achieved, it is all about winning. Cue Card was brought home in his...
