Park shows his Steel to win at Wexford
We knew he'd run well but he has been a bit disappointing. He jumped well though and the tongue-tie helped. I don't think that was a bad race either. He'll go for a handicap or a novice now.
Captain rules from Jack
That bumper (early April at Fairyhouse) that he ran in was probably a bit better that it looked at the time. The ground was bottomless that day and he was only 3 months in training at the time. The ground was very safe out there and he got a great ride from a genius in the saddle.
Araucaria wins with style at Wexford
I'm very happy with her and she is living up to what she promised last year. It was touch and go as to whether she'd run here and the owner was hoping to travel but didn't with the lack of rain.
The Byrnes dominate at Wexford
She had a wind-op and I always knew she was a great mare. She is well-bred and she is some leaper, a real chaser. We'll try her in another handicap now.
Fisher gets Wexford compo
If it was run again (the Munster National) he might win but it just didn't work out for him on the day - Davy probably should have kicked on but he gave him a great ride there so I wouldn't be blaming him. Anyway today he said that he struggled a bit on the ground and he will be wrapped-up for the winter. He wants better ground. He is in at Ascot next week but I'd say that would be unlikely.
O'Donnell on mark again with Claret
She is a lively little lassie but she is from a very nice flat family. She is home bred by Mrs O'Donnell and we thought the ground was gone for her there but she was able to persist on it. She has had a long season and we'll put her away now.
Definite Class wins for Mooney at Wexford
My horses are ready now and I'm happy with this one. We didn't think we'd win a bumper with her but her best chance was always going to be in one of these mares races. She had a run under her belt and she had form with a cut in the ground over hurdles one day in Naas. She'll go for a maiden hurdle now. Helen won on Swiftmarc before and she rides very well. She is more than alright for a 7Ib claimer.
