Benson Reaping rewards
that's a good win for Danny and I decided to claim the 10lbs off The Reaper today because I don't think three year olds can beat older horses at this time of the year. We thought a lot of him as a two year old and hopefully he has now turned a corner but may need to improve to be Listed class.
Gray makes bright start
that's another good win for Shane and he had plenty of support today. Celerina's options are limited in this country as she doesn't get any further than five furlongs.
Dahindar scores for Lynam & Beggy
Dahindar doesn't like soil and will probably be rated 100 after this so we'll have to run him again here next week.
Sikara completes Stack double
Sikara is a granddaughter of Tarascon, which won the Irish 1,000 Guineas for us and it is great to win with her. Sikara has done very well from the age of two to three and I think there's more to come from her when she steps up in trip . she wants good ground too.
Lordan doubles up
McConnell off the mark in new yard
He came out of (Dermot) Weld's and obviously retains plenty of his ability,. He was entitled to win off his rating but not many gave him a chance. He stuck his neck out and is genuine enough. He'll tip away at this. He wasn't a big fan of hurdles although he was placed in one. It was a very good ride from Gary as he needs to be covered up.
