Award lands opener for Stack
He's a tough horse. He doesn't kill himself at home as you can see by the size of his bellyl!. We'll run him back in a winners race probably the Marble Hill. He's never sweated in his life before and is usually a cool dude. He's never been away from home and the horse getting upset beside him in the stalls didn't help. He'll be better going six furlongs and might turn into an Ascot horse.
Dahlia lands quick Stack double
I'm a bit surprised. She was working very well before Dundalk but maybe she didn't handle the surface or didn't like being crowded or something because it didn't go to plan,. The kid gave her a good ride and didn't disappoint her. There is a six furlong handicap in Cork for her over Easter.
Stack on fire with Curragh treble
She went a bit sore behind last year and we had to pull up with her,. We were looking forward to dropping her back in trip as she got faster as she went along last year. She's back now and did it well. I thought she might be a bit tapped for toe early but she had no problem dictating in front. She loves soft ground and we'll keep her going. We'll try and get a bit of black type for her and I saw a six-and-a-half furlong Listed race in Germany for her. We'll pick and choose with her as she's fairly exposed being a five-year-old and rated 91.
Pollen completes fabulous four-timer for Stack
That's unbelievable. We should run a few more here!. That's probably her now. She's won the Lincoln last year and won here. She loves the ground. I don't know what's next for her. That was her Derby. I was quite pally with John Mulhern and I think he must be looking down on us. That's the only explanation I have. The two-year-old was doing plenty and she was mad fit. The only one I thought might need the run was Zorija Rose and she won the easiest!
Robert springs Lincoln shock
His work has always been absolutely brilliant but we were really starting to lose faith with him the way he was running,. I always thought he liked the all-weather but I don't think he does now. The cheekpieces and a brilliant ride from Kieran helped - he just kidded him along. He was going to get an entry to go jumping if he didn't run better today and has just saved himself from a hurdling career for the moment. The last few weeks his work has been outstanding. I'm delighted for (owner)Mark Gittins and Kieran.
Duchess looks on upgrade
She's been working very well at home. She has matured and streghtened up well. She probably didn't grow a lot but has filled out,. She done a lovely bit of work here ten days ago. We're delighted with that. After a performance like that I'd hope to go for a bit of black type with her. We'll see what the handicapper does and how she comes out of this. We could go for the Derrinstown Guineas Trial at Leopardstown next Sunday.
Reiteration gets Bolger off mark
I think he'll do well. There could be a good day in him,. He'll probably go for a Listed race now and maybe even a Guineas Trial. He's a horse that could improve as the season goes on. I'd say he'll stay ten furlongs.
