Mullins and Walsh win opener at Tramore

First win in almost three years for the 'West

I crashed my lorry a few weeks ago and have been driving around in her owner's (Sean Duke, of Dukes Motors in Roscommon) jeep since so hopefully he won't charge me rent for it now!

Pennys wins War of 33/1 shots

he kind of surprised me as we were just seeing how he'd get on today on the ground but he absolutely loved it. He's a three parts brother to War Of Attrition but we won't be aiming that high and he'll go for a novice hurdle somewhere. He got a lovely ride from Eddie.

Never lands on-course touch

We like him. He ran in point-to-point's but he was disappointing. His full-brother (Forever Gold) won at Roscommon for me last week. I couldn't get anything out of him last year, and I would have let him go for very little. Once the better ground came around in the spring he started improving. Hopefully he will put together a few wins now.

Walsh & Mullins double up with Alelchi

Winning chase debut for Samantha Jones

she is a gutsy mare and she gallops and jumps. She's only back in around six weeks and we'll look for a mares novice on quick ground now. She'll be more suited to tight tracks and small fields.

Cullen completes big priced Tramore double

she (Offside Rule) works well at home and she is in foal to Shantou. She has been threatening to do that for a while now and travelled well today, loves that ground and jumped well. She might go for Clonmel handicap chase in a fortnight's time.
