Watsdachances she could win a Listed race
She's improved no end from her run at Cork and she's a tough filly. Johnny was very impressed. He thought beforehand that she could be Listed placed but now he thinks that she could win a Listed race. She could go for something like the Marble Hill now and she had to do it the hard way from the front there. She galloped all the way to the line though.
Third time lucky for Atacx
He's not a horse that does a whole pile in front at home. He's had three quick runs now so we'll give him a month or so off.
Little Village comes good
She was working well with a filly of ours that was third in a maiden (Oonagh behind Absolute Crackers at Cork on April 7th). It was her first run for us and we fancied her a bit. She'll probably go to Dundalk next Friday for a five furlong handicap now,.
Kissed for Epsom in early June
She's very uncomplicated and she's a lovely big scopey mare. She's got a great attitude too. Both of her runs have been on softer ground and until she runs on faster ground we won't really know if she'll act on it. We thought she'd improved a lot. We didn't plan on making the running but she jumped quick. I'd like to think she'll improve again from this. Her brother, Pour Moi won the Derby so she should handle the track.
Double for Murtagh as Karatash looks promising
Johnny said the track woke him up as he's quite lazy and laid-back at home.
Stack and Lordan on the double
He was a bit unlucky at Dundalk the last day when he got left.
O'Brien keeps it simple on Athens
He's an uncomplicated horse and he did that the hard way. I'd like to think he'd get a bit further (this was a mile and a quarter).
Unaccompanied makes winning return
She is a great mare and has been a great servant. She is a Listed winner already on the flat and we will be looking for more blacktype with her now although we have no specific targets.
