Consistent Princess gets her reward

She had a good run the last day. I was a little concerned about the drop back to seven furlongs but the race the last day sharpened her up and it was a good colt of Ger Lyons (Magnolia Beach) that beat her. I'm delighted for Michael Enright (the owner). He lives in Fermoy and he's invested in some smashing yearlings. It wasn't the plan to make it but Shane is riding so well at the minute.

Captain best in November

I had plenty of confidence in the horse tonight. He won on this night last year so he likes it at this time of year. Robbie is a brilliant jockey . he's very, very good. He was on to take the weight off as the horse had ten eight. He likes to come down the outside and pass horses. He'll have a little break and he'll come back here. He likes to run fresh.

Prendergast and Hayes continue good work

Near 20/1 double for Prendergast & Hayes

Halford and Foley share a brace

The plan was to come here for a while. I'm hopeful he would make the team for Dubai but he needs to go up a few pounds. I think it would suit him. He's getting better and he's solid . I'd like to get him out there. He's been immature and babyish but there were no holes in him tonight and that's his trip,.

Ten-up for Goal

Hoe Hoe on top in late November

She was very weak at two-years-old and I couldn't do much with her then. She's been getting stronger the last three months and her first run delighted me.
