Breaker keeps up good work for Kennedy

He never runs a bad race, and everything that beats him goes on and wins. He was third here the last day and Dorans River went on and won a good novice hurdle, the horse that beat him a head for second (Penance) beat an odds-on chance in Ballinrobe. On a line through the horse that beat us a head we had the the beating of Edward O'Grady's horse (Great Khan) who had beaten the favourite. He has had that many tries you were getting fed up fancying him. I thought he would have won a maiden hurdle seven starts ago. He's a horse with plenty of ability. He hasn't been that straightforward to ride, so we tried a different bit on him the last couple of runs and they were his best two runs. There's more control on him. He'll keep going.

Blackmore is on the Ball with Bell

She's had her wee issues. We have her in foal now, she's in foal to Court Cave so I think probably that could be the turning point. I was using Rachael at the start before anybody knew her in point-to-points and stuff. It's good to have her again, and it's good to be able to get her. She was always confident today. There's only so much petrol in the tank - I turned away!

Red-hot Andratx gives McNiff a double

The horse that ended up favourite (Whats The Plot) was (almost) 10 lengths behind us with only a 1lb difference in the weights the last day they met. We had course form along with it. He's a grand little horse. The plan was to come here after Ballinrobe, which was a good while for a summer horse, so that worked out. Maybe we'll go for a mile and a half at Galway on the Wednesday on the flat.
