Richelieu wins Dundalk opener

I've been training for three years, had nine winners in my first year but it has been a long time since my last winner . it's my first winner at Dundalk. The key Richelieu is to produce him late and Chris gave him a super ride. He understood him when he rode him last time and you have to hit the front late on him and he did that tonight. We'll keep him sweet for a month and go again here . I have 20 yearlings in at present.

Fantasy the Dundalk king

Fantasy King was terribly unlucky last time out. Fran (Berry) just couldn't get him out in time and there was nothing he could do. He was a worthy winner tonight . Johnny (Murtagh) wanted to hold onto him for as long as possible and he gave him a good ride. Fantasy King might go hurdling now.

Choral Society in fine fettle

she was entitled to do that but it was hard work. She is still a big baby and we'll give her a break now. She's a good honest filly and Shane (Foley) said to step her up in trip next time. There's plenty of stamina on the dam's side and she's by the sire of the moment, Acclamation (whose progeny won the previous race)!

Maggie Neary gains maiden win

at long last! She's always been a nice horse but has been unlucky with a few bad draws. She won nicely and stays 1m4f. She got a good ride and had a nice draw.
