Third time lucky for Kolachi in Curragh maiden

Trip no concern as Big Gossey records fifth Curragh success

Hassett doubles up as Zephron records impressive victory

Myself and Colm have been friends for a long time and he’s probably been unlucky not to win three this year as he was unlucky in Listowel. He loves those conditions so I suppose we’ll give him a break now and see what happens next year. Early on this year my horses weren’t right and I suppose he’s handicapped himself but once he’s hit form he’s been consistent all the way through. He stays a mile and with the hike he’ll get for that might get into the Lincoln next year.

He’s as tough as teak and is unlucky not to win the last two runnings of the Irish Cesarewitch, so he deserved a nice win here. He’s been a great dual-purpose servant and his full-sister Search For A Song won this race two years ago. It’s a possibility that he might go over hurdles at Leopardstown at Christmas or he might go to Dubai for the two-mile race. He has stacks of enthusiasm but he is a character.

Vischio a hugely popular Listed winner for Donohoe

It’s absolutely brilliant for the syndicate involved — my cousin Michael and his sister Mag and the sons. She was bought for a good friend of mine John Kennedy who was fighting cancer at the time. She was second in a seller and we were able to claim her for about 8,000. She won a hurdle race just before Michael died and the current syndicate have had nothing but fun with her ever since. She started off this spring and has been at nearly every Festival since. We thought she might not go on heavy ground and it’s better she’s got on heavy ground. You could see lately she was in brilliant form and she’s really strengthened. The races have taken nothing out of her. She had a bit to find on several horses in the race today but there is always a chance in an end of season race that horses may not run to form and there was a chance to sneak some black type. She was definitely going to be in the first three under two furlongs down but to win was a dream. We are dealing with cheap, low grade horses most of the time and she was low grade too at one time. We never have more than about ten horses but luckily we’ve had horses that have been able to win races this year which makes it enjoyable. I’d say she’ll race away. I had it in my head to go to Leopardstown at Christmas for a hurdle race but I don’t know if that will happen now. She has a mark over hurdles that you’d say she might be able to compete off but we’ll have to
