Streets takes the opener for in form Hanlon
On bumper form he was entitled to be knocking on the door. He was placed three times and ran well at Tramore last time out. He is no star but is a nice horse and I will put him out in the field now. He has his job done for the year and has had enough racing. He will be back in the spring.
Mac's lands a gamble as Fegan records first winner
That is my first winner and just my second runner. I have five horses in training at the moment and have my licence since last October. I was expecting him to run well and hopefully finish in the first three. I don't know where all the money for him came from. His owners are connected to Paddy Mac's pub in Ballina, Co Mayo.
Double for McNamara as Lilly springs surprise
She was really free the last day at Roscommon. We were worried about the ground today. She will go over fences soon. He is owner Sean Murphy, bred him as well and he is from Monivea, Co Galway.
Abarta scores for O'Brien & Carberry
He has been running well all along. While he likes soft ground I was wondering whether it was too soft for him. He will go for something similar next and probably have one more run before Galway (in late October). He will be kept on the go for the winter and will make a nice chaser as jumping is his strong point.
First Chase win for Ainama on fourth attempt
Double for Hanlon as Ardglen obliges
He was entitled to win off that mark. He is entered in Perth on Thursday but I don't think we will bother with that now. I thought the other were getting to him near the line.
Sorceror overcomes layoff to take the last
He broke his pelvis last Christmas and was held up. He was standing in his box for three months. The team at Gigginstown done an excellent job in restoring him to full health. He was running in high class races last year and will probably go for a winners of one next. He doesn't like being in front but hopefully that win will give him confidence.
