Harrington wins Opener
Desert Abbey is getting her confidence back and is getting stronger too. She is able to cope better on slower ground and is returning to the sort of form from 18 months ago.
Clover Pearl scores for Cullen/Flood
provided Clover Pearl comes out of this race well, she may take her chance in the feature 2m5f handicap hurdle here on Saturday.
7up for Weld
today was his day! We'll have to step him up in grade now and, while I thought he'd be a lovely horse for English handicaps, that is probably off the agenda now. Directa King was bought to be a dual purpose horse and he may go hurdling later in the year. Today's softer ground is what he wants.
Oslot wins Galway Plate
I've had this race in mind for some time and it all worked out well as Oslot jumped and travelled well throughout.
it is great to get to 200 Festival winners but I'm thinking no further than the next race!
