Good to chat with @paulcolgan @IrishTimes about my views on the impact of the Trump Presidency for Ireland 🇮🇪 and my quote “Michael O’Leary is somebody I think Donald Trump would be in awe of” + “it’s not all doom & gloom….” irishtimes.com/politics/2025…

"He worked well last week & John (Hartnett, owner) has come over from America. The young fella that rode him is the up-and-coming Colin Keane. I don't tie them down to instructions, lads like that" Tony Martin, En Or @DundalkStadium

En Or came from last to first in the extended two-mile Camida Advantage Tipperary Cup Handicap at Clonmel to plunder a double for jockey Ben Coen. The six-year-old gelding dropped to rear and looked to have plenty of work to do a furlong and a-half from home. Coen soon got after him and the pair availed of a seam along the inner to make good headway a furlong out. Forward momentum continued as they picked it up in the final 150 yards and sailed on well to win by a growing two and a-half lengths at 8/1 for Cathy O'Leary. Jabbar took second at 7/2. O'Leary led up the winner and winning owner John Hartnett reported: "We came in from San Francisco two days ago and live in Silicon Valley. "I'm originally from Limerick and we have a house in north Tipperary, so to win the Tipperary Cup is brilliant."
