Slieveardagh leads O'Grady 1-2
Andrew (McNamara) had the choice of rides and picked the wrong one . it was nice to win but Slieveardagh hung like a gate at Clonmel the last day and I thought Tramore might not suit him. However he had the best form in the book, having finished second to Fionnegas at Clonmel. Andrew said the ground may have been too heavy for Diophas.
Best Man O'Grady scores with Maryiver
Eoghan couldn't be here today as he is best man at a wedding at Killarney.
Without The Bop records maiden racecourse success
Without The Bop will now go for another handicap and will make a nice summer chaser in time.
Doubles for Tramore locals Doyle/Barry
I bought Sciatin at the horses in training sale at Goffs (for €15,000) last month but wasn't expecting to win today. I've no plans from here but he may go for a winners' race.
Hand defies 365 day absence at Tramore
Blank Hand got hurt in this race last year and while he had been off for so long, I thought I had him as fit as I could without a run. He wants three miles and will go for something similar next.
O'Callaghan records first win with Undergraduate
I only have Undergraduate six months but he has been plagued by leg trouble. He'll go for a handicap chase next.
Pugh off the mark on the track with Carrig Cottage
Carrig Cottage had been running consistently well in bumpers and may go hurdling now.
