Toughest man going and no better man to get through this blip on the road to a long and successful life and career 💪🏽

2026 started rough, diagnosed with a brain tumour & brain cancer. Staying positive, determined to beat it, recover & complete a Hyrox by year-end 💪💪 I’m fundraising for Macmillan Cancer Support. Here’s my JustGiving page, if you’d like to donate: justgiving.com/page/hospital-…

✅ Fast ✅ Tough ✅ Talented Ambishio becomes our first homebred winner at Lackagh Springs Stud 🥂 bred in partnership with @NicoArchdale and Eoin Fives. Sold as a foal to @LukeCoen2899 @Goffs1866 in 2023. Congrats to all connections looks an exciting horse for the future 🤞🏽

“It was a brilliant avenue, very straightforward to work” Great to speak to @Johnny_Bourke of @SyndicatesHQ, who chatted to @ruairi_breen about using GoffsGo to successfully sell two fillies. #WhenYouKnowGo #GoffsGo

Betsen gets back to winning ways on his first start for new connections 🚀 he was a €62k @Tattersalls_ie yearling purchase from @IrishNatStud Well done @freddytylicki and team, well bought 🙌🏽

€52k > 135,000gns for our @coolmorestud Starspangledbanner filly purchased as a foal from @IrishNatStud and sold last night @Tattersalls1766 Book 2 Delighted with our first pinhook and yearling consignment under the Lackagh Springs Stud banner. Best of luck to their new owners

Our final lot through the ring @Tattersalls1766 Book 2 is a big, imposing Starspangledbanner filly with an athletic walk. She has size, scope and strength to burn. She’s bred on the same cross as the top juvenile Flotus and a half sister to the G1 performer Twilight Calls.

Leading the way today is lot 569. A sharp, precocious, well balanced Minzaal colt from one of the best sprinting families in the book. He is bred on very similar lines to the talented, durable and speedy Marine Wave who recorded a peak TFR of 108. In early and is not to be missed

No mare in training deserved that G1 blacktype more than She’s Quality. Arguably the most consistent sprinter this year dancing every single dance in three different countries from May all the way to October. Well done to @JackJdavisond and team 🙌🏽

Great to see Scottish Pearl tough it out and double her tally down under. She was a 3kgns @Tattersalls1766 Book 2 purchase in ‘22 from @TheCastlebridge and was resold @Tattersalls_ie breezeup from @Knockgraffon to @Deburghequine for €40k. Congrats to all connections 🙌🏽 @BrzUps

Delighted to feature in this months issue. Excited to be bringing two lovely horses, a Minzaal colt (lot 569) and a Starspangledbanner filly (lot 1347) to @Tattersalls1766 Book 2 in a couple of weeks time. Big thanks to @ronangroome20 for the feature.

UNBINDING breaks her maiden in impressive fashion in Del Mar last night. She was a 15kgns Book 3 purchase with @Knockgraffon and a later private HIT sale from @GScottracing after finishing second on debut. Well done to her new connections 🙌🏽

Delighted to buy out existing partners in Ranting and Raven on behalf of @SyndicatesHQ to launch an exciting dual purpose campaign with @gavincromwell1. The @GoffsGo platform was brilliant to use and afforded us the opportunity to try something different. Hats off @ruairi_breen

LADY IRENE (Study Of Man @Lanwades x Special Gal) bolts up on debut over 6f in the style of a very smart filly 👌🏽she was a 6kgns @Tattersalls1766 Book 3 purchase from @BallylinchStud for Bramblestown who re-sold @Tattersalls_ie breeze-up for €54k. Congrats to all connections 🙌🏽

No surprise to see improved figures @Galway_Races. I was lucky enough to attend for 3 days, we took 100 @SyndicatesHQ owners through the gates with zero hassle, the O&T facilities were exceptional and the craic as always was mighty. Special mention to @HRIOwners team also 🙌🏽

Some result! Magic to win the Mares Bumper at the Galway Races with Some Pretender. Thanks Patrick for the kind words after 💪

A day of days! SOME PRETENDER brings @SyndicatesHQ our first @Galway_Races Festival winner 🙌🏽 she was a €28k @Tattersalls_ie Derby Sale purchase in ‘23. Huge congrats to a raucous group of owners, she could be smart 🤞🏽

Three runs on the Ascot straight mile form figures read: 222 with a cumulative distance beaten of under 2L’s! Tough, gutsy, consistent mare. Very hard to come by and great craic for all of her owners 🙌🏽

ADALIZ wins again taking the form of her last three runs to 131🔥 A mare firmly on the upgrade expertly handled by @HenrydeBromhead and his team 🙌🏽 Big thanks to @tipperaryraces for superb hospitality. She was a €17,500 @Tattersalls_ie Derby purchase for @SyndicatesHQ.
