Emery now two from two
I liked him at Punchestown in his bumper where I thought he was exceptional, and he showed that again today. He was against proven stayers and point-to-point horses, took them on from the front and was going away from them. He will go for a novice now and should improve away over the season.
Death Duty passes Grade 2 test
He's done it well and we like him a lot. I thought he'd improved a bit from the last day, and Bryan said he was on the bridle more today. He will go now for the Grade 1 (Lawlors Hotel) Novice Hurdle at Naas (January 8th). He looks an Albert Bartlett type.
Auto comes from last to first under Cooper
Bryan gave him a peach of a ride. Ideally he wants to be a length or two down at the last and come with one run as he does not like to be in front too long. The conditions suited and the track suited him.
Elliott keeps up good work with Glenloe
He’s a grand horse but it was probably a weak enough race. He had his head in front at the right time. He’s bred to be a staying chaser as he’s a brother of Alfie Sherrin.
Recall completes across card Hughes double
Effernock & Flemenstorm share the spoils
He's a grand horse, and has been very consistent. He could go to Punchestown for a similar race on New Year's Eve. He's been on the go for a good while and will have to get a break at some stage.
Samcro completes Elliott five-timer
He's a lovely horse, and we like him a lot. Jamie said it was real cat and mouse, and he would have done more in a gallop at home. He may only have one more run this season. He could have a month off and look at Fairyhouse or Punchestown. He's a horse for the future.
