Drama in opener at Galway
Bates shines on Treasure
That's wonderful. He's a horse I was finding it hard to place and I was lucky enough to win a handicap chase with him at Ballinrobe a few weeks ago,. I decided to claim off him and was hoping for rain to loosen up the ground so I was smiling when I seen the rain this morning. Seven pounds off 9st10lb is a big help and it's hard to catch a front-runner. Declan has only had his full conditional licence for the past week and was restricted to riding for me before that. He's going to be a top-class conditional. He's a super rider and a big talent. I'm pleased to have him connected with the yard and will be using him a lot.
Dream powers clear to score
It was a good performance. I don't know where we'll go now - I'll talk to the lads,. Paddy gave him a great ride and drove him into every hurdle. It's great to get a winner here. Unfortunately none of the syndicate were here but the main thing is that he's won.
Ali saunters to easy success
Barna strikes for O'Brien
He done it well. I was suprised he won so easily in the finish. Anything from two-and-a-half to three miles suits him,. Andrew (McNamara) blamed himself at Killarney last time. He was very keen and he took him back into the pack but he just didn't fire after that. We'll look at something at Listowel and keep him to winners races for a while.
