Wild Shot records fifth Dundalk win

he’s very slow to come out of the stalls but tonight he went in last and got a lovely break. He’s very straight forward to ride but he just goes into the stalls and sits and that’s lost him a number of races.

Timely win for one-horse trainer with Everyhouronthehour

he’s a smashing horse and we’re delighted with him. He’s a lad we bought cheap as a yearling and I thought I’d breeze him but that didn’t work out. He’s actually grown over Christmas and surprised me a bit because it’s five weeks since his last run and I thought he might want it tonight. He’s getting the hang of the game now and is going the right way. I thought if he was beaten tonight and stayed on that we might go over a mile and two but there might not be any need yet. He will stay further as all the dam side were a mile and two and a mile and a half. He could be a lovely horse for the summer.

Coen subs on winner Parkers Hill

it was unfortunate for Shane Kelly that he couldn’t ride him. He pinged the gate and got a nice lead off Rory (Cleary, on Shawaf). I was actually there way too soon and the last half-furlong he was pulling himself up. Hopefully that can change his mind a bit that he’s after getting his head in front. The last couple of times he’d made the running and Johnny (Murtagh) said take your time on him and he enjoyed it.

Third-time lucky for Abby Hatcher

she was very unlucky here the last day. I was worried being drawn 15 but Rory was very positive on her and gave her a great ride.
