From the connections

18 Jul 2025·BoyleSports Daily Money Back Meeting Handicap Chase · Killarney
That is a massive surprise. I saw Dreal Deal was in a claimer in Sligo last month for 15,000euros and I bought into him myself privately after the race. I knew some of the lads involved and they asked me would I like to buy a share in him and to train him. We've changed things around, he is living in a paddock on his own and we've done a lot of different little things with him - Phillip Rothwell, trainer.

His preparation wasn't ideal and that's maybe why Dreal Deal drifted. He will probably go for the Supreme but will be entered in the Ballymore as well. That was the dream but he had to go and do that today - Ronan McNally, trainer.

He has had a busy time of it and will probably have a break now until after Christmas. Things will be getting more difficult for him, but a strongly run 2m should suit him nicely and we will target one in the new year - Ronan McNally, trainer.

Dreal Deal got a very cool ride from Maxine, she got him settled and jumping beautifully. He's in at Cork on Sunday, depending on what the handicapper does. If he goes there he will come back in the Spring because he is more of a good ground horse - Ronan McNally, trainer
