Moss finally gets off the mark over flights
It wasn't a great race. On his form earlier in the season he looked a penalty kick, but he lost his way. I'd say he didn't stay in Perth. He's owned by friends of mine (Call It What you Like Syndicate) that have been with me from the start. Paul decided to make it when the favourite slipped at the first.
Galway Hurdle next up for Orgilgo Bay
He was good. 4/5 shots are no fun! He was impressive. It's hard to know what was behind, but Smiler is probably 110-rated. He jumped well and hopefully now he'll go for the Galway Hurdle. He was a bit unlucky at Cheltenham where he pulled too hard and Ballinrobe probably came too soon. He's a delicate horse who doesn't take a lot of racing unlike Lindenhurst who is a tank. You'll probably not see Orgilgo Bay until Galway. He's a brilliant jumper and he'll be able to lay up with them in Galway. He'll have to go up, but probably will after winning by that distance. Hopefully he'll not go up too much!
Double for Carberry/Elliott as Swanty delivers
That's my first horse for Paul (Holden). He won well. Paul (Carberry) said the ground is getting a bit soft. The better the ground the better he is. Paul is brilliant, he takes his time on horses. He's named after a good friend of ours in Wexford. He might go for a handicap hurdle at Galway.
Na Paisti does it for the Fahey kids
There's three mares hurdles this week, two today and one on Friday and we found a weak race. She had good form last year. I couldn't find an owner for her so I gave her to the kids. She'll go to Galway, my teenagers will enjoy a day there! She'll be a lovely mare over fences, she jumps a fence.
Wandering Aengus gets his hurdle success
Treble for Elliott and Carberry
It's a good day! That's the most important winner as it was for Sean Gallagher who was one of my earliest patrons. I thought she would win and she'll win again. She's in at Kilbeggan on Friday.
4 for Elliott as he dominates at Downpatrick
That's nice. I think it's my first four-time in Ireland, I'm not sure if I had one in Perth before. He's very green. He likes good ground and we'll keep him going over the summer. That's his owner's first winner and she has owned horses since 1980.
