Sinntaran off the mark in opener
Hat-trick up for Fingers
He stayed on well and the one thing he does is stay but he also seems to have a bit of pace,. He was second in two bumpers during the winter on real heavy ground but he really likes it good. We'll mix it with him and probably go over fences, depending on what the handicapper does. He's won a point-to-point but also has the pace for the Flat. I had a beginners chase at Killarney earmarked for him.
Daddy proves too tough for Love
It's great to win one with him. He's rated a bit high and is probably a genuine 119/120 horse. If he goes above that again we might have another go chasing,. He was unlucky with three falls over fences but I don't think he is a bad jumper. I still think ge could be competitive over fences. It was great to see him battle back. He has run four times in the past three weeks and it will probably be a couple of weeks before his next run..
Armaramak strikes for O'Grady and Treacy
His last run was good and he appreciated the faster ground,.
Easy for Archie in novice chase
He's going very well and we'll tip away with him. He seems to go right-handed well but there are very few races for him,. He (the handicapper) wasn't very hard on him last time. The race cut up today but all he could do was win. The lads are mad to go to Galway but I don't think that would suit him and I'm looking more at Listowel and Killarney while there might also be something in England for him.
Stanley stunned after Ballito success
O'Grady lands double with Mortar
It's funny how horses improve with age. I never thought he would be a bumper horse but just recently he did a piece of work that suggested that it would be worth letting him take his chance,. He done it in spades today but his forte is as a chaser later on. He just seems to like good ground. The way he won if there was another 2m4f bumper we would consider it. He has pleased us and hopefully will make a nice chaser.
