Crown wears down Snap in Galway opener
She's a good consistent little mare. It was unfortunate what happened the other day but we are learning with her all the time and put her in last today,. She doesn't like standing around. It's more that she's anxious to get on with it rather than any badness. I was worried about the weight as she got an awful slap - 22lb (for winning at Ballinrobe last month). We might just up her in class now and try a group or listed race. The handicapper will probably give her a few more pound for that. She likes a little bit of ease and the day she got a good cut (Ballinrobe) she got away from them.
Manacor masters hotpot Deorai
I think he'll make a very nice staying colt next year,. He's by Refuse To Bend out of a Rainbow Quest and we might go 1m2f or 1m4f with him. He could come back here next year. He handles the track well and ran well here at the summer meeting so this was a logical race for him. I might leave him off now. He's a big horse that has a lot of maturing to do.
Prospectorous proves pace under Murtagh
That's great. He's the fourth champion jockey to win on him now!. He has loads of pace and shows it at home. He's a right sort of horse. We'll leave him on the Flat as long as the ground is good and hopefully there is a nice prize in him. He has a nice mark over hurdles and fences as well.
Murtagh conjures late run from Beach
Rajik pounces late in Oyster
He's a tough little devil. It's hard to give weight away to the three-year-olds but it helps that he likes the course,. Of all the places to take on the three-year-olds it was here. He really battles up that hill. It possible that he might get an entry for the Doncaster Cup but it's in nine or ten days time and he had a hard race there and at the Curragh so we'll see. We might leave hurdling until next season. We can go hurdling anytime. He might have one more run and then get a break.
Alajan springs 20/1 surprise
You couldn't really fancy him today as he ran poorly in Tramore. The track was too tight there and didn't suit,. I was happier with the course here and the 1m4f trip. He ran over two miles at the festival here but that didn't suit. I put a sheepskin noseband on today to held him concentrate and he won well. We'll look for another handicap for him.
