Kennedy rides out his claim

Tocororo enjoys the top of the ground

It wasn't the strongest race in the world but it was grand to get it. Bryan is going off to get a pin in his leg removed tomorrow so at least he is going out on a winner. He will be out for three to four weeks,. Bryan said she loved the better ground and that she was different filly on it altogether. I have planned on going jumping fences with her now, and she will get a mares allowance and four-year-old allowance.

The Nutcracker does it again

Dixie takes advantage of Vic's blunder

Gutsy Reafadda back from the brink

He was off for 900 days (returned at Limerick in March). He got a freak fall at Tipperary, he nearly cut the tendon off himself. I thought I'd never get him back. I love this horse, he has guts. It's a long road to get a horse fully back who had that much damage done to his tendon. We nursed him back, our vet Rob Norris was a big help. He is in a chase at Punchestown on Wednesday and he might well run there. He is better over fences. He carried a lot of weight to win an amateur handicap at the Galway Festival one year and that takes a bit of doing. I remember Dermot Weld had a fancied one that day.

Geraghty steps in for man on stag

He has loads of toe. Davy Russell was supposed to ride him but he is on his stag,. Barry was on the ball, he gave him a super ride. We will step him up in trip now again and I'd say he'll go to Galway. He might go for a novice or a handicap. He will probably get ten pounds for that. I was a bit nervous after the mark the handicapper gave him. He was very hard to assess. He keeps improving, he knows he is winning. I only have him since October and he's a lovely horse.

Harmony at her ease for Mullins in finale

She is very good. Her work at home wouldn't inspire you but she is a different mare on the racetrack. She is obviously beautifully bred and she has handled that good ground fairly easily. I think she has enough speed to go back and win on the Flat. I don't know what the plans are with her, whether she keeps going or gets a break. She could get a break and come back for the mares Listed race at Navan and races like that. She already has black-type from the first day. I know Glens Melody went on through the summer and she won three bumpers. I'll have to talk to dad and see. She is a King's Theatre and definitely handles that ground very well, but Glens Melody handled all sorts. It's good to get the first winner of the season out of the way.
