Admiral Nelson is Royal Ascot bound

Joseph O'Brien back amongst the winners

In-foal mare makes winning start for Condon

she’s a filly that Con Harrington owns but it’s her first run for us. They thought quite a bit of her in England. She’s a speedy filly and well-bred, and is in foal to Footstepsinthesand. She has until August to run away so that’s a great start. As with all well-bred fillies they would like to get a bit of black type but she’ll need to improve a bit. Chris said she took a blow and she might improve fitness wise. She’s in the Rockingham so we may go for that and then try for a bit of black type.

Champers for Fitzwilliam as Elysees returns with a win

that’s a relief! The horses have been running great and we’ve had a couple of seconds recently. This filly has always been talented and has only been out of the first three once and that was in the big sales race. People were saying that she just wanted soft ground but she has a great turn of foot and I thought there would be more improvement with the better ground.

Tattersalls Gold Cup an option for unbeaten Crossfirehurricane

Siskin delivers 2,000 Guineas win for Lyons

this means everything, it means 30 years hard graft for everybody. To win a Guineas was always my number one and hopefully it’s the first of many. I’m delighted with the support we are getting from owners and the quality has increased year on year. That was hard work and full credit to Colin Keane. He was out there on his own today against a football team and him and the horse got it right. The horse is a legend and bailed him out. You don’t get a Guineas handed to you and they both stood up when it was needed. If there was a kink in that horse then he wasn’t going to go through that gap. Colin is the best there is at the minute. He’s only a kid and he’s going to keep improving. I also want to thank Khalid Abdullah who is watching in Paris I’m sure. They are the ultimate breeders. I was worried about this horse’s trip around February and March but when we went into lockdown then I was confident that the trip wasn’t an issue. If we were a sprinter then we were in trouble because we weren’t quick enough. He’s a very easy horse to train and no question he’s the best I’ve trained. We’ll probably go to Goodwood next for the Sussex but I want to keep Colin on him and hopefully the 14 days (quarantine) will be gone by then. We are definitely skipping Ascot. We’ll have a chat about it but that was the plan providing he was good enough today.

Bowerman bags the Lincoln

he’s 6lb better lighter on the grass and we always felt there was a big pot in him. He’s a very high class horse and I’d say his handicap days are over now. Our original plan was to run in the Lincoln at the start of the year and then go for the Royal Hunt Cup but I’ll settle for this! . He’ll go for Listed and Group races now and is in the Alleged Stakes. The guys have had a lot of fun with this horse and we’ll just keep rocking. It’s going to be hard when you step up another level but he’s well capable of doing it.

In-form Harrington & Foley win Mooresbridge Stakes

he’s (Leo De Fury) really exciting; we thought a lot of him last year and the ground was a bit soft for him at the backend in Longchamp but he’s wintered really well and I can’t believe he’s won so easy there. Shane said he just dropped him in. I thought there was something wrong as they went so hard and he was so far back but the way he got there he looks like a proper horse. I’d say the Tattersalls Gold Cup will be his next aim. We’ll give him a bit of time between his races.
