Humaniste makes winning start for O'Grady

he'll probably have to come back here in a couple of weeks time (for the Bar One Racing Juvenile Hurdle).

Worldwide steps up a place a year on

It looked a nice opportunity for him. He had been disappointing to be fair but that's grand that he got his head in front,. Davy actually said he liked that ground. He won his bumper a couple of years ago in Roscommon on bad ground. For a big horse he actually moved very well on that today. We'll try and find a little winners race for him and see what happens.

Mammy Annie shrugs aside problems to beat the boys

Elliott brings up Fairyhouse double for syndicate of friends

He's actually unlucky that he hasn't won five for us since we got him as he was just narrowly beaten twice,. My head man Simon (McGonagle) is involved in him and friends of his and mine from Kilmessan and all over Ireland. They've had horses with us for years and it's a good fun syndicate. I might try and find a small selling hurdle or something for him in England. He mightn't be a horse for real winter ground. They've had great craic out of him, he's won three races now.

Nolan's Quamino makes good start over fences

Young guns Roche and Gilligan making their mark

She was a bit unlucky in Listowel so I thought she would run well,. She was disappointing on the Flat the last day but I'd say the hurdles sweeten her up. She's a better mare over hurdles than on the Flat. We'll keep her going because I'd say she'll go with an ease in it and we'll look for something similar. It all depends what the handicapper does.

Patient approach paying dividends with Fintown Boy

He did it solid. He had a great run the last day,. He's a big gobby old horse, he's an eight-year-old and our horses were wrong last year and we didn't run him. The owners were thinking of throwing the towel in again for this year but I said 'he's in great form'. He ran well in Downpatrick and that form has worked out well. He came off the bit a long way out then and I was a bit disappointed with him. He had a good run the last day and I said we'd surely left something for today. He's an eight-year-old, they bred him and they have a full-brother. He'll run again next Monday in Thurles. He'll be good fun next summer over fences.
