Danz Gift easily wins Dundalk opener

maybe he's got confidence after winning (at Dundalk previously in November). We always knew he had plenty of pace but things had to go his way and he was unlucky in running a few times. He's learning to breathe and, when you can cover him up, he's able to finish out. He takes his races well and comes home bouncing. I'm hoping to keep him going on the all-weather over the winter.

The Chazz lands first win in Dundalk Nursery

she did it well, and is back to her optimum trip. Shane gave her a lovely ride. We'll have to see where we go with her next.

Oliver doubles up with 'Stakes horse'

it's great to get that done. He had a tremendous run first time out at the Curragh where he needed it (the run). He was going to run again two weeks after that but started to cough. I wanted to run him in a Group race but it was foolish on my part to run him (at Leopardstown). We think he's a very good horse. He was doing enough in front, is the type of horse that does himself well, and gave a blow again tonight. Billy gave him a lovely ride. I do think he's a Stakes horse, and we'll have to step him up to that sort of level next year.

it wasn't the plan to come back so soon but he was in too good a form. He was very game in the finish. We'll see what the handicapper does but he'll probably get a little break now. He goes well on that surface, and likes good ground on the grass.

Favourite too Strong with finale win

he was very well after Leopardstown, and is enjoying his racing. Billy (Lee) gets a good tune out of him, and he handles that surface well. On his run in Naas he gets a mile and a half. He'd a good break in the summer and is a bit fresher than most.
