Marakoush sheds maiden tag in style

He ran well early in the year and he just needed a bit of time. He has been going well lately and he has improved a bit over the summer. He handled the track well, took on the bends nicely and won well. We will see what to do with him but a handicap is probably the next stop. He is a nice big rangy horse. He's a half-brother to Mourad and I'd say hurdling will be his game, he stays well,.

Carvill has a win to savour with Bell

The plan came together. She had a terrible draw the last day at Roscommon, she was drawn fourteen of fourteen,. She ran here before and I was just a bit annoyed that I hadn't won a bumper with her to be honest. If I had got a maiden like the last fillies maiden up here I would have said grand but I thought it was important to get her handicapped first. She's experienced from the bumper runs even though it was only her second handicap. It's great for her owner and breeder, Martin Carvill, who lost his wife six months ago and the man who owned a half share in this horse died of malaria only three months ago.

Eric best on return to the west

I have to thank the jockey for that one. Six or seven of them were rated all around the same and he got the best run around, it is all about getting the run around here,.

Gold Focus lands the money

It is great to get a winner here as it is a long journey over! She did it well. She was outpaced early on but she battled well and did everything right to just get up.
