Grey Dubh wins Gold
It was a good ride by Donagh and himself and young (Jack) Kennedy are two good up and coming jockeys at the moment,. He gave him a chance to find his feet as he was not really travelling or acting around here. He will mix it between the Flat and hurdles.
L'Attesa wins his second in three outings
He'd a good chance on his previous win at Downpatrick but I don't know what happened him the last day. We gave him a bit of a break and freshened him up. He likes all the twists and turns and jumps well.
Slevin and Doyle in flying form
He's been a bit of an unlucky horse as he won his point-to-point and then got injured. Otherwise he would probably have been sold on by now,. He hardly ever runs a bad race, and as long as there is a good gallop it suits him well. He's an exciting horse for fences, and will go chasing next year.
Tajseer comes good
He's been frustrating and it's nice to get another winner for Paul and Clare Rooney,. We're running out of time (this year), although he'll probably be back to the north of England for something.
O'Farrell shows her abilities on Kid
Katie has ridden winners now for Gordon Elliott and Willie Mullins so it just goes to show the calibre of trainer she is riding for. She's as good a value for 7lb as anyone in the country. She did exactly what she was asked to do, and hopefully she can follow in the path of Rachael Blackmore and ride many more winners. The owner, Simon Wilson, is from England, and this is great reward for all the patience he has shown.
Short gets Heist home for 2nd Kilbeggan win
He's in the Kerry National and that's why he ran here. I still don't think he will get in, and if he doesn't make the cut he will go for a handicap chase at Cheltenham in October. This is really all about Adam (second winner and first in Ireland). He's been with us since May and is a very hard working lad. He's been telling us that the horse has been bouncing every time he's ridden him. Last year he was never right but he had a good winter and is in great form this year. He's a real fast ground summer horse.
Crowley has nice youngster in Steel Bob
We weren't sure if he'd enough experience but he's won well. He's the sort that is crying out for a hurdle,.
