Caspian sprints to another victory
Kimbay cruises home for confident Cleary
It was a very good ride as she needs to be produced late. I've no plans but she won nicely and that was due to the ride more than anything. The drop back to five furlongs suited her.
Folk lays down the law in feature
Lola goes one better on the all-weather
She stuck at it very well. She had the run in Tipperary and really got mugged that day as she was in front too long. This time she had something to run with and she did it well. I'm delighted to get that out of the way, and she will probably go for the C L Weld Stakes at the Curragh. She's very straight forward and it's great for Hayley.
Donnacha latest O'Brien to ride a winner
I'm delighted he's got his first winner. It's great to get it. He's only 16, and had a fall at Wexford on only his third ride and he was very lucky thank God. But it didn't affect him at all. He's a big fella and with the 10lb claim he will be able to claim off 9st5lb.
Hilary impressive in division one
Ellis on the mark for Levins and Lynch
We are starting to learn a bit about the horse now. I left him a bit short at Gowran hoping he would come on for the run, and you learn more about them in a race than you would in three weeks at home. It sped up the training process and tweeked his training at home. He'd been working well, and we quietly fancied him. Fergal Lynch was absolutely brilliant on him. He decided to come on the outside as he had a feeling he didn't want to be crowded. I half owe this one to Fergal. He's in again in a claimer on Thursday for €3,000 but I don't think I'd be allowed to run him. I'm delighted for the owners (David Byrne and Carol O'Neill) who are new people with me.
Carraroe flies in again for Keatley & Corby
She is progressive, and I thought she would do that today. In the Curragh I asked Sean to drop her out and it was the wrong way to ride her. She was fierce unlucky the way that race was run as they went slow and she was caught in behind horses. We will probably go to Ayr for a two-mile race on Gold Cup day, and hopefully she will come back for the Cesarewitch.
