Danz Gift swoops late under Whelan

He’s been in great form and I was a bit disappointed that he didn’t win the last day but things just didn’t go his way. He got a bump and grabbed the bit, and ran his race in the middle of the race. He has to switch off and drop the bit. Things have to fall his way but a lot of sprinters are like that, and you can run a race ten times and different horses will win. He’s a really good servant and loves his five furlongs. He’s sticking at it better now, and getting better with age. We’ll stick to more of the same, and hopefully the handicapper won’t kill us. I think he’s better on this surface than the grass, so he’ll have the summer off and come back here again in the winter.

I’ve had him over a year and he’s threatened to win good races, and for some reason he goes well for the women. He cost only 800 guineas and now he’s won two 14,000 (euro) handicaps. He’s a great advertisement for the Tattersalls Horses In Training Sales. Ana said he travels so well and gets the mile well. A lot of lads were telling me he doesn’t get a mile but he does get a mile. There is two Fast Track Qualifiers over six (furlongs) and a mile in March, and he’ll run in one or both of them. I’m gutted for Red Avenger but he blew it at the start. I don’t know what had him so upset. He was very fresh and well in himself, and maybe I had him too fresh. Hopefully the horse is alright, and he’ll come back here for the Fast Track Qualifier as well. He’s still a really good horse and you just have to put a line through that.

Oxx is over the Moon with Magen

She’d good consistent form and it’s good to see that she’s maintained it, and nice to get the bracket for her. There are a couple of options here but I don’t know if it’s the track for her. Declan thinks she might be better on the turf. She travels well and is a good worker at home. She’s a nice well-bred athletic filly, and she might handle a little ease in the ground. It was her first time to wear a hood. She goes in last into the stalls, and the hood certainly helps her in the preliminaries.
