Why takes opener at Leopardstown
Fred Archer makes it a winning debut
I have two horses in training for Sheikh Mohammed and he was a great owner to get. I think the horse was very impressive today and he quickened up very well. His sire Iffraaj is having some season and they generally improve from their first run.
Katie's good run continues
That was Katie's first win on the flat against the professionals. We'll come back for the big seven furlong handicap on Champion Stakes day if he gets in. The firm ground is really the key to him, they went no pace the last day he ran at the Curragh.
Weld strikes at Leopardstown
She got a nice ride from Pat [Smullen] and she battled well. We'll look for another handicap now.
Bipasha scores for Bolger
We'll go for another handicap now maybe in Killarney.
Weld and Smullen complete double
She has been consistent and deserved to win. We will look for a handicap or a winners of one next. She is very well bred filly and we might look for a Stakes race later in year.
