TDN: Favourite racing moment of the year?
MLF: Mab's Cross (GB) (Dutch Art {GB}) winning the G1 Prix de L'Abbaye. The Armstrongs are fantastic contributors to the sport and it was a well-deserved Group 1 win after her near miss in the Nunthorpe S.
TDN: A horse that really stood out for you in 2018?
MLF: Sea Of Class (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}), from a 'who horse' in April to winning the G1 Irish and G1 Yorkshire Oaks, then almost beating the great Enable (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire}) in the G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.
TDN: An outstanding achievement by a breeder, owner or trainer?
MLF: Skitter Scatter (Scat Daddy), starting out in a March Dundalk maiden to finish winning the G1 Moyglare at The Curragh in September; an outstanding breeder, owner and trainer achievement.
TDN: Big hope for 2019?
MLF: Iridessa (Ire) to win the G1 Oaks, we are fans of her sire, Ruler of the World (Ire).
TDN: Your new year's resolution?
MLF: To breed a horse as good as any of those listed above.
