Plough Boy takes career score to nine

It was a change of luck as we've been hitting the crossbar a good bit,. Donagh said the time before to drop him back to five. He has plenty of boot, we always thought he had plenty of boot. Sometimes when you change it around with the older horses it makes a bit of a difference and gives them a fresh lease of life. He did well to come from where he came from and Donagh gave him a great ride. He hasn't had a break, and generally he's a better horse on the grass, so we'll be aiming for that as well but we might sneak something else here first.

Max frustration for Lions supporters as Velocity promoted

Farragher rides his first winner

He has run well a couple of times up here,. We gave Adam a chance on him and he gave him a great ride. I think that's only his tenth ride and he has a winner now, three seconds and a third. He's only learning, he never sat on a horse until this time last year, and came out of RACE. He's doing well and I'm delighted for him.

McGuinness the magician as Master finds progress at age of 8

I think the first day of the season could be out of the question now. I spoke well of the handicapper the last day but I'm not sure if I will be after today,. He won quite easily. I think he's a horse that's going to be very competitive in a good handicap. We can afford to wait now as he's won a few quid and we'll target one of the big handicaps during the summer. We'll see what the handicapper gives him and then decide if we go on the first day of the season or not. People would say this is not as competitive but he's improving. I know he's eight but he's improving and hopefully he's going back up to the mark that he had. I knew he wasn't 100 percent the last day, he was about 80 percent fit, so he's just coming on now. It's been great for him. People told me he was this, that and the other but I wouldn't mind a couple more like him. I was told he had knots in his tendons and he was wrong in the wind and everything else but he's definitely not.

Oliver has a progressive youngster in Financial Conduct

He's a lovely big horse. He won his maiden here before Christmas and had a nice break so I thought he might need it but he did it very straight-forward,.

Money for Winston Wolfe proves spot on

He'll go jumping but we're waiting for better ground. When we saw this race we decided to let him take his chance. He has schooled well and we'll just wait for a bit of nice ground and then go hurdling. I have to thank the owners (Shauna Carroll and Daniel Givens) for their patience with him.

Birrane goes from strength to strength at Dundalk

This place has been awful lucky for us this year, it's unreal,. I was delighted with him tonight the way he won there. He was really relaxed, even before he loaded in the stalls, and he's taking his racing really well. He's settling as the racing is going on. Ross gave him a super ride. He got him settled in behind another horse, switched him off and just came in the last 50 yards and went on lovely. We'll keep him going and keep him campaigning here and then probably look at the grass later on. That distance seems to suit him very well. That's three with him now so it's great.
