Cooper injured as Jim scores

I wasn't expecting him to win like that but he seems to run better around big galloping tracks. It was Tom (Doyle)'s suggestion to run him in first-time blinkers today and he is a very under-rated rider.

Blazing Tempo wins Punchestown Grade 3

she jumped better today over the bigger fences and seemed to have more respect for them. I was very happy with the way she came back to two miles, from two and a half, and while I'll try to keep her to mares' races, she'll be entered in the better novice races too.

Royal earns Cheltenham entry

Jumbo completes O'Grady double

he'll run in the Galmoy Hurdle next but will avoid Cheltenham as he prefers a flat track. I might send him back to France later in the season too.

Luska drawn in by Chimney

Moyglare off the mark over hurdles

she is potentially a very good dual purpose mare and although she was a little green jumping the final flight, her jumping was otherwise good. she will obviously now go for a Graded race and we'll see how she goes there. She won as well as expected today.

Koshere scores for Hales/Kennedy

that's my first handicap runner in something like nine years! I only have Koshere King seven or eight weeks and had been planning to send him chasing but the weather prevented me schooling him.

Ceol Rua wins year's finale

Ceol Rua learned a lot from her run at Naas the last day and while she was green then, knew her job today. She'll go jumping now.
