Boughtforasong claims third win
we have been trying from February to run her and also tried to breed from her but she is in good form today. I'd like to see her back at Dundalk - she worked really well there last week over six furlongs so I thought she'd run well today. She could go anywhere next over five or six furlongs on good ground.
'Robert' wins on debut for Lyons & Keane
he's a typical Big Bad Bob and is owned by a syndicate including Peter and Ross Doyle (Bloodstock) - it's good for connections as they bred it and own the mare. He's not there yet and that's as fast as he wants but he's after doing it well. He'll improve buckets for it as he's a big, green baby and I could have waited a bit longer with him. We'll stick to seven (furlongs) with him.
Peace Mission prevails
Plough Boy claims another narrow win
you need to leave it as late as possible as he doesn't do a lot in front but he is very genuine. He needs a fast run seven furlongs and while drawn 14, I didn't mind as he got cover. He's in Galway on the Wednesday over a mile and probably will run under a penalty.
Annagh Haven battles her way to victory
That was long overdue It's not that she is not honest, she kept finding one too good. It they were all as honest as her in the yard you'd be delighted. We've probably been running her over a bit far in her last few runs. That's her real trip. She's entered up in the mares' hurdle at Galway but whether or not we go for it we'll see.
Sales bound Rebel gives Hayes a double
Chris is riding really well at the moment. it was nice to get his (Park Rebel) head in front as he has always shown a little bit but has had a couple of issues which we got ironed out.
St Leger on the cards for Down Roral winner
he did what he was entitled to do and kept it simple. He won snug and will be better when he steps up in trip - he didn't have to improve to win today. He definitely could have a run before the Leger but it's not a necessity. He's still a lightly raced, inexperienced horse and has the prospect of making a very nice stayer.
