History one to Note
She is a nice filly that had been going good at home though we thought she might need the run. She handled the ground well and that'll probably be it for the season. She is promising.
Wachman dominates nursery
Handassa sparkles on debut
She is nice and she handled the ground well. She raced very lazy but once I got upsides Kevin (Manning on Deire Na Sli) I gave her a flick and she picked up well. She has a good attitude, she is boom-proof - a lovely filly. I thought she looked a bit big in the parade ring and that she might need it but she kept going well all the way to the line.
Ultra Cool is ultra game
She is tough and game and has been very consistent all year. It is great for Sheila (Lavery) to breed and produce one like that and put her into training. The two wins have been a reward for that. She is a very game little filly and she might go to Cork at the weekend.
Oxx wins with another first-timer
We're in form at the wrong end of the year but that was nice as this one was a very backward two-year-old. She likes that ground and she'll have to be upped in class now. That distance (a mile and one) would be the minimum that she could win over. The Trigo Stakes (at Leopardstown on October 25th . Bank Holiday Monday) would probably be the only option for her now.
Joy as Boynagh makes it 2 on the bounce
She had a little bit of a setback in mid-season but she has come back well. I was a bit concerned about the ground but she has a lot of spirit which is a help.
O'Brien just one behind in title bid
O'Brien battles his way to the top
Please God things will go well for me tomorrow.
