Mutahadee a name to remember
Honeymooning Cromwell gets Dundalk present
Former Lally horse Harry has his day
He has done it nicely. His last run was a great run for the deceased man that had him and I'd like to thank the Kiernan family for giving him to me. We'll keep him to this and he'll keep progressing. We'll come back here before it closes up for the break. That's my first winner this year, my ninth in total and I have seven in.
Banna stars at Dundalk again
That was a very very good ride from a bad draw. Shane is very cool and keeps his head although I was delighted to see him come down the outside like I told him too! . Listen, some nights it'll work out for you and some nights it won't. Anyway he is a smashing horse and he just loves it around here. He is on the waiting list for Dubai and hopefully he'll get an invite now. We also have Hujaylea and Invincible Ash going. It starts in the middle of January.
Lyons fillies take the 1st and 3rd
She is a fine big filly and it is great for the lads who own her (the Viking Syndicate). They work in Ennistown Stud, and they cuddled her back to health after she broke her nose as a yearling. It is important for the breeders to win with these two-year-olds so it's good for Ennistown Stud who have the dam. Keagan was very strong on her and hopefully we'll be able to win with the third filly (Girl Guide) next weekend.
Dazzle dances off to retirement
Star Performer Dusty doubles up
He likes a fast run race which doesn't happen very often. The plan was to sit in if they went quick and things worked out as they went so fast. We'll settle for that with him . a second win in the year. There is another mile and a half handicap for him here on the last night (December 10th) and he has been a good old servant. Shane was good on him - he is a good little rider.
Lynam gets a deserved win
He didn't get the trip here last year but he was only a baby then. I thought if he stayed tonight that he'd win. It's nice to get it as we hit the bar a couple of times tonight and I thought Sparring Partner should have got the race in the steward's room here last week.
