Jim pounces on Refs mistake
He might have been lucky with the mistake of the other fellow at the last. He stays all day and we'll keep going with him for the rest of the season.
Carberry doubles-up with Roberta
He is a different class (Carberry) when you can get him. The mare deserved that.
Three from three for Carberrys at Gowran
He was in the Byrne Plate at Cheltenham but he didn't quite make the cut. He was probably better off here anyway. That was Peter John's first winner for me. He is going to Charles O'Brien's on Monday to be an apprentice on the flat. That was a good send-off and he'll mix it. He'll be entered in the Topham at Aintree. Two miles six around there might suit him if he got in and the big fences. He might just go to Punchestown though.
Gates too strong for Ballyhale rivals
He'll probably go for a winners of two next and he'd probably prefer nicer ground. I'm delighted with him and I'll have a word with the owners to see where we'll go next.
Andlau toughs it out to get off the mark
That was well-deserved. He's been running consistently but I still feel we haven't seen the best of him yet. He will prefer better ground. We'll be patient with him before we go jumping with him. He might keep him going over the summer for those qualified rider races. The dam was a very good mare in France. She won lots of races and got black type. I'm delighted for the owners.
A welcome win for Travino & Mullins
We finally got one. I'm delighted for the owners and the ground probably helped. The point-to-points were very competitive this year and he was placed a couple of times. It is lovely to get a day with an older horse like him.
Lynch continues his roll with Gowran present
He is a brilliant jumper but he seems to panic when other horses get around him. The cheek-pieces probably helped him too. I don't train as many horses myself as I used to.
