Itchy Feet on his way to winning the Grade 1 Scilly Isles Novices’ Chase – Photo: George Selwyn “We didn’t have a Grade 1 win, but we have that now, and five runners from the system at Cheltenham, which is their ultimate goal.” “We had 42 winners in the UK last season, which was their best ever,” said Tiernan. Before Cheltenham comes the meeting to decide which will make the grade and be put into training in the UK. They are then sent to trainer Tom Cooper in County Kerry for pre-training, where they are schooled over hurdles and fences at a young age, before progressing to schooling bumpers, and some to point-to-points. Switching from buying horses in-training, Tiernan now buys broken but unraced two- and three-year-olds for the Brookses. The partnership is just four years old and only now is the system Tiernan devised paying dividends. The Wexford man now lives in Copenhagen and is employed to buy high-end jumpers by owners Kate and Andrew Brooks, thanks to Ch’tibello, who put Tiernan on trainer Dan Skelton’s radar. They won’t be the price of a second- hand car. “When you have a relationship with these guys, they will ring Bernard Stoffel and the message gets back to me. We got some lovely goat milk, and cheese, and two horses! He doesn’t even have a mobile phone. ![]() “Dominateur was owned by a goat farmer who produces goat milk about three hours from Moulin. ![]() They have a place to gallop and hack around, but to trot up, they have to stop the traffic lights on the main road. Neither of those guys have anywhere to trot the horses. “Within ten kilometres, all near Belgium where Solwhit came from, I also bought Ch’tibello and Le Breuil. ![]() “We bought Itchy Feet as a yearling standing in muck up to his knees, in the middle of nowhere. “Solwhit was by nothing, out of nothing, but a gorgeous young horse with a great walk and a nice presence about him,” said Tiernan. What began with eight-time Grade 1 winner Solwhit, by little-known Solon, has grown into buying Grand National hopefuls from goat farmers and Cheltenham Festival heroes from yards without a flat surface to trot on. This month we speak to Irish bloodstock agent Sean Tiernan, who champions small French breeders, making a name by sourcing from unproven sires. I know I can find pre-patched ROMs for trainers using Google, but I'd really like to be able to patch my own dumped ROMs.Last month we asked why Irish-breds no longer dominated the Gold Cup. I'd also like to add trainers to Batman (Genesis) and Batman Returns + Forever (SNES). They don't have one for Batman & Robin, but I was hoping someone could help me find a way to contact them so they can make a trainer for that game. There's this website called "ConsoleCopyWorld" that has a ton of patches and trainers that you can easily inject into your PS1 ISOs. Maybe I could make this work the way I want. The ones that DO work are Action Replay codes, and Game Genie Guy doesn't support those, so I'm out of luck." Unfortunately the only Game Genie code that I would've used for Batman Forever (Infinite Lives) doesn't work. I was gonna use the modded ISO of Batman & Robin in conjunction with modded ROMs of Batman (Genesis), and Batman Returns + Forever (SNES) using Game Genie Guy so I could be invincible in all four games. ![]() "Thank You for all the help, but I decided not to pursue this after all.
