Vedette all heart in opener
She probably got there early enough and it was as well that Willie's came past so soon as it allowed her the chance to fight back,. She'll have a scan tomorrow. If she's not in foal she'll go to Punchestown for the two-miler or three-miler, depending on ground. I'm pleased with the manner she won today and she's obviously got loads of ability.
Family success as Mullins score with Marlay
The ground is a credit to (manager) Peter Roe. I'm delighted with that. He jumped well and travelled well,. It was Barry's decision to come here and he was proved right. I'll talk to him about Punchestown now and see if he wants to go there. Danny gave him a lovely ride and everything went right. He's a lovely horse and I always thought that there was a day in him for something like this. I'm delighted and he did it lovely. Barry has been very good to us and has a couple of lovely horses at home. He's great for the game.
Vista pounces as Rathlin blunders
I kept this here in mind all season for him,. He was unlucky in the MCR Hurdle when he got trapped and then was out wide and at Naas last time he was too far behind to be competitive. If he comes out of this ok he'll go for one of the Grade 1s at Punchestown either the two-mile or two-and-a-half mile. I've a feeling he possibly wants further so it could be the two-and-a-half mile.
Simonsig looks name to remember
Nina lands National on Confusion
A lot of different things were going on. I shared the breeding of him with Tim Murray who was my first owner ever,. Alan Dunlop (the owner) was maybe my second owner. They've been there from very early and we go back a long way.
Casey shines on Hinged
Coscorrig best of the mares
The only doubt today was the trip. 2m2f is ideal for her but she's also quick enough for two miles,. She was very good today and is a good mare. She might go to Punchestown for a handicap. Mares can do that - turning out again so soon.
Ger takes last in style
He's not an easy horse to ride as he looks in trouble in his races then picks it up,. We might keep him on the go during the summer and if we're not too hard on him he might make a Galway Plate horse.
