Pass gets deserved turn as Ahimsa injured
Unfortunately the favourite seems to be injured but I think our fellow deserved to win a race.
Have A Nice Day wins in the evening
That was a surprise. Everyone that's ridden him has said that it's a bit quick for him here and that he wouldn't be at his best until he hits the turf. He's a bit backward and he didn't come in until July last year. All he does is eats and sleeps. He's pretty small, only about 15 hands but he seems to enjoy his racing. It was his first handicap and I thought he'd need the experience but he stays well and kept at it.
Dragon has the know-how on start two
He's still a bit green and he was looking at the lights in front. He's still a baby.
Downey doubles Lynam's score at over 92/1
He was very disappointing the last day. We did two things different . we put a tongue-tie on him and he was going very well for Robbie at home so we let him have a go. (AM & EM)
Egan gains important win with Salam Alaykum
It's great to get off the mark as a trainer especially when it was for the boss (Khaled A Rahim from Bahrain). He bought a stud of 140 odd acres and he spent a good few quid on upgrading the facilities, including new boxes. He's built a pool too and a seven furlong gallop. He's got some nice mares, including one that's going to Frankel next week. She was placed in the Guineas for Mick Channon.
O'Mara off cold list as Lordan doubles-up
I needed a sat-nav to find the winners enclosure! It's my first winner in Dundalk too.
El Salvador delivers in style
