Popcorn claims Thurles opener
Pepperpot grinds out victory
We felt we had to come here because she got a fair rise (9lb),. She was in good form anyway. I thought she was a fortunate winner as the other horse was just outgunning her. She was tired coming back and will get a few weeks off. She copes with that heavy ground.
Turban makes impression on debut
Pickapocketortwo on the up
That's a much improved performance and he seems to be improving as he gets that bit fitter,. We'll have to step him up in class now. He'll go chasing next year.
That'll Do nicely as Walsh lands gamble
It was a bad race in foul weather and the trip suited,. If you can't be competitive in a 80-95 handicap hurdle around Thurles you may as well shoot them! The sky is the limit now! . I reported that he bled last time. I don't ever like to see a horse fall but I was glad when the other horse disappeared two out.
Touch comes Back in style
He's a grand horse. I was debating whether to give him another fortnight,. He'll go straight over hurdles now. He went home to Martinstown after his first run and was given a bit of a break.
