We could not be happier with her run today. We ran some race, we gave weight away to the front 3,a trip too short, onwards and upwards to fairyhouse in 3 weeks time.

thank you 👋👋 Congrats to
@rachaelblackmor
what at hero of a jockey to 💪💪
Massive thanks to the Shark Hanlon, the stable staff who look after her so well, Jody, and anyone else who has helped us realize our dream of having a Cheltenham runner. She is in super form and we are very hopeful of a big run.

I see the PTKO syndicate are getting stick over selling her on, and to a lesser extent, we are getting some too re: Skyace. Personally, I'd love to keep Skyace, however, the breeding side isn't for everyone and democracy prevails, so she goes to the sales as per contract.
#Skyace
Skyace had a little setback that she picked up during her last race, Cheltenham 2022 is looking extremely doubtful at this stage. With a full recovery, we are all looking forward to seeing her back racing again

A little loosen out for the mare before tomorrow with

. She took the traveling over lovely. Ground on the soft side for us but we take our chance. Thanks
@Sandownpark
for the hospitality so far.
Unfortunately Master Player didn’t make it after his fall yesterday. He gave us some great days out, especially that day he won in Bangor last year. Devastating for the syndicate, and all at Sharks yard.
He was looked after incredibly well at
@jhanlonracing
Rakeez, Old Port,
Why would you bother getting into horse ownership if this is the case, can't back your horse to win, rubbish prize money, increasing training fees and the list goes on.
Trainer Sean Curran was left "flabbergasted" after his heavily backed runner Aces Full was prevented from running two minutes before he was due to take part in the novice handicap chase
Congrats to

and connections, the highs and lows hence we are so grateful to have Skyace for another day. We ran close to our mark and absolutely delighted to be part of this occasion
@Fairyhouse
Fantastic interview from syndicate agent
@MchughCathal
on the thrills him & the syndicate have enjoyed.
Interesting to hear how although based in Abu Dhabi he has kept his connection to home through the syndicate
🔊hear the full interview ⤵️⤵️
Delighted to have secured Fenta Des Obeaux for a new syndicate, she will be trained by 'Shark' Hanlon. She should be a fun horse for the syndicate. More updates as the year goes on. Fingers crossed that owners get back to racing in the near future.
🗣️ "Not in our wildest dreams did we think this would happen. She owes us absolutely nothing and Cheltenham is the dream."
SKYACE bids to write the next chapter in her extraordinary rags to riches tale at

Hon the Shark, delighted to be involved with the Budgieinthehand' syndicate. Patience was key. Well done to

Some horses just shouldn't be moved from a trainer to another trainer for racing purposes.
Honeysuckle from Henry, Skyace from
@jhanlonracing
and Princess Zoe from
@tonymullins84
to name a few...
Won't sit right seeing Princess Zoe with a different trainer.
Can't recommend the podcasts by
@MarkWalsh
enough. Delighted that
@HRIRacing
are supporting this. Great to hear the stories surrounding the superstars that gave so much to the game. Definitely helping me get through a week of Quarantine in Abu Dhabi 💪
It's been awhile coming but it's worth the wait. Delighted for the Syndicate who are based in 🇮🇪🇦🇪🇺🇲
Thanks to Sean Bowen,
@jhanlonracing
and all his team.

🐎 2 time winner earning €18k
And now lands the Grade 3 Novice Hurdle
@Downroyal
worth €21k to the winner. 🎉
Find your own syndicate to get involved!
Let's hope 2023 is more like 2021.
Some nice horses going into 2023, Coventry, Saraqael, Whos Houidini and Master Player probably the pick of them.
2022 stats:
9 horses, 36 runs, 1 win, 7 places, 1 horse didn't run.
Who said this was an easy game....
Absolutely delighted with Coventry's run in
@punchestownrace

Unfortunately Who's Houdini suffered a career ending injury last Friday in Limerick. He ran some race by coming 4th in the end.
Sickening for the horse, syndicate and Sharks yard.
Tough aul game.
Can't wait to see Coventry run for our new AD-NY birdinthehand syndicate at my local track
@RoscommonRaces
Best of luck to all involved 👍
@nolan_racing
This guy owes us nothing. 1 win and 7 placed attempts in 2 years. 3m+ races in GB would be ideal. Was fancied to run a big race in Huntington last week before the meeting was abandoned. Thanks to all at
@jhanlonracing
Best to luck to all at
@Goffs1866
next week.
All paperwork was submitted to
@RevolutApp
on the purchase of a horse and training costs but apparently they can't give me a reason why they closed down my account. Please be careful using this application, I am confused to what actual service they provide. Customer service 0/10
Absolutely delighted with that, 3rd on his come back run, winner in a different league, hopefully something nice going into the summer months. 👍
Touched 50/1 before the off 😂
Thanks to
@jhanlonracing
and the Globalbirdinthehand members for having patience with him.
Best of luck to Master Player, Globalbirdinthehand Syndicate, Tom Hamilton and
@jhanlonracing
He runs in the last
@BallinrobeRaces
First run back after a well deserved break. Excited to get his campaign started today 👍
