These Frankels can jump too
He won anyway so it's grand. He probably wants softer ground,. We'll have a bit of fun with him and hopefully he'll win something else again. We'll try and find another little race for him somewhere, that probably wasn't the strongest race.
Great start for Elliott at Fairyhouse
She's a good honest mare. She wants a trip, and probably wants three miles, but she tries,. She jumps fences great as well so she'll be jumping fences sooner rather than later. That was great and it's nice she's won. Her jumping over the last two really stood to her.
No denying Dempsey's King late on
3 for Elliott at 53/1
Back to form Westerner Point noses it out
41/1 Fairyhouse brace for Enright
She probably wasn't the best mare in the race but just got the best ride,. His two rides in the last two races are worth watching. He sat and left them at it. The boys went at it four out, he sat behind them and was full of horse turning into the straight. I just have to praise the ride. She was second in Limerick over two miles and that trip suited her better today. There is a three-mile chase in Thurles for mares that haven't won graded or listed and that's where she'll go.
Head Turner uses her pace to win Fairyhouse finale
I'm delighted with her now. She is jumping fences great and measuring them great,. Roger was brilliant on her. He was able to put the race to bed and he didn't have to fire her at the last then. He just let her settle and jump it. It's great when you can get the odd winner. So many things can happen and you need a bit of luck. She popped around. She won over a mile-and-a-half only last summer and that pace is there but you'd be worried would she be able to produce that kind of pace on this kind of ground. She'll go on soft, and she's won on soft, but if it's deep and tacky she just wouldn't be able to handle it. Obviously it's loose today. She was always going to be a better chaser and that's six races she's won now. We'll go for a similar handicap and go back to the mares novices and try and get a bit of black-type. We might try and be back here for the big meeting for something. Hopefully she stays sound and healthy.
