McNulty's patience in Pilgrim Way rewarded in Cork

He had two bad legs but he’s come right now. They have done a good job on the ground and that’s what he wants. Frank McNulty (owner) has been very patient and it’s great that he’s got his reward. If the ground dries too much we’ll give him a break but there is a race in Tipperary (on May 23) that he could go for if the ground is alright. He’s had one run over fences before and eventually that’s where he will be heading. He travels fierce well but if he hits the front he thinks he’s enough done and Sean said the mistake early in the straight actually helped him as he’d have landed in front if he’d winged it.

Macgiloney swoops late for in-form Hogan

He could have jumped a bit better, and I really had to ask him at a lot of the hurdles. Coming out of the back I always thought that I’d get there but then Jack (Kennedy, on Foxy Jacks) slipped a few lengths on me and Bryan (Cooper)’s horse (Asbury Boss) broke down and I was lucky to get by him. This is a nice horse and he won two bumpers last year. He’s always been threatening to do that but he needs a trip. Even over two and a half miles you are always on your head, and three miles around here was ideal. The beauty of now is that he’s a novice for all of this season and those rated novice races will suit him. We’ve had five winners in the last ten days and it’s great when they are running well. There is a good buzz about the yard.

All The Way West toughs it out over three miles

We didn’t expect it but we’ll take it anyway. She’s a nice mare and had some great runs in point-to-points. That’s her first handicap so it will be more of the same really. She’s only back from a break and she always wanted good ground so we’re going to keep her busy for the summer all going well. She’ll go chasing as well.

Fahey's risk rewarded with Lost Oscar victory

She’s a cracking filly but I took a huge gamble running her here today as she’s a winter filly. We’ve had her in training all year waiting for soft ground. She’s a massive filly with a big pedigree and hopefully she’ll get a summers break and come back to be a nice filly for the autumn and winter. She has loads of ability and anything we have done with her she’s done well. It was in our mind to go point-to-pointing and then I didn’t want to risk her on the ground. When I came here earlier I walked the track and could see they had done a good job with watering the ground. Derek said it was quicker on the outside, so I said whatever you do go down the inside to mind her. It worked out well and he gave her a great ride. He said she was plenty green but a lovely filly to have for next year.
