TDN: Favourite racing moment of the year?

DC: It would have to be Skitter Scatter (Scat Daddy)’s win in the G1 Moyglare S. I loved the enthusiasm of the filly, the trainer, and especially the owners. In an era of mega owners, it renewed my faith in the sport of racing and the possibility that if we try and try again it could be our turn.

TDN: A horse that really stood out for you in 2018?

DC: I was very impressed with Calyx (GB) (Kingman {GB}) in the G2 Coventry S. at Royal Ascot. Unfortunately he meet with a setback but the second, Advertise (GB) (Showcasing {GB}), subsequently franked the form in winning a Group 1.

TDN: An outstanding achievement by a breeder, owner or trainer?

DC: It would have to be how quickly Charlie Appleby has progressed to become a master of his craft.

TDN: Big hope for 2019?

DC: That the dawn of the “new” Curragh racecourse brings about a new racing clientele in Ireland, badly needed for our sport.

TDN: Your New Year’s resolution?

DC: To find out from Horse Racing Ireland what are the criteria needed for Naas racecourse to become a Premier racetrack.
