Whipless takes opener
We thought he'd win today but you'd always be a little concerned of the draw and he should improve from that run.
Meow justifies her price
He got a little tired on the run-in but Johnny [Murtagh] was happy enough with him and we'll see what happens from here.
Rajik wins Ballycullen Stakes
He's a very tough horse and with a filly in the race we knew they'd go a good gallop. He's just improving and improving, it's so hard to believe he was beaten in Wexford. We were going to enter him in the Ebor only he ran so bad at Newcastle. He'll either go for the Irish Cesarewitch or go back over hurdles.
Bolger & Manning complete Curragh double
She is really one for next year but in saying that don't be surprised if you see her very soon. She could be a possible for the Moyglare Stakes.
Pathfork impresses in Futurity
He just jumped out and got a great position, Fran said he was always cruising. He's such a laid back horse, he's brilliant with an amazing temperament. Fran said he was only getting going at the end. We'll discuss with the owners as regards future plans for him.
Loughnane back in the winner's enclosure
We've been waiting awhile for a winner, the horses were all wrong but they seem to be coming back to form now. This horse is a good horse and was well up in the ratings at one stage but he's had a lot of problems.
