Dolly finally wins as he overturns Pique

Finally! He likes this place and the key to him is to ride him patiently. The ground can't be too bad. Of course my kids backed Willie Mullins as usual and had a straight forecast with Pique Sous to win and Ted Dolly to be second!

Quick double for BJG as Pageboy wins again

Easy win for Rebel on his home turf

Galway genuniely probably came too soon for him after Tipperary. He had a break after Galway and that helped him a bit. I was afraid he would get a bit edgy. Davy said he couldn't pull down his goggles today as he was travelling so well. Davy got it right tatically at Galway but there was no riding on him today. He is improving mad everyday and he is growing an awful lot, he is 16.2 hands high now and is very athletic. He will go for a graded hurdle at Tipperary now in mid-October and if he keeps doing what he is doing over hurdles he will be kept over them. We will wait until after Tipperary before making other plans. We might wait until he comes up again a proper horse before deciding whether or not to go chasing. He is electric over fences and he will have a racecourse school in about a fortnights time. He has hardly any mileage.

Local course win for Mountain Lough

Double for Russell as Scoops obliges

Davy was confident on him to say the least. He had me nervous jumping the final flight but he didn't have to hit him which is good. He always looked like a horse that would stay and a better gallop would have suited him. What was meant to happen in Galway, happened today! . He could go for a novice hurdle now around the end of September. The Dumb Dumb Syndicate is made up of guys who work with Paddy Powers so the meeting they sponsor at Cheltenham in November is a possibility. Seemingly Dumb Dumb is a drink made up for cider, red bull and vodka.

Geraghty completes treble in dramatic fashion

turning in for home I thought we had no chance and even after the second last, Barry (Geraghty) said that he still needed to wing the final fence to have a chance!. I thought all the way round today that the ground wasn't totally to his liking but he is such a brave horse and battled so well on the run-in. He went up quite a bit for his last win and I wasn't sure he 'd cope with the extra weight; we'll keep him going as long as the ground isn't heavy.

Truckin takes the last at Cork for Mangan

He won a point-to-point and if he is not sold he'll go for a hurdle.
