Legitimus makes all in Gowran opener

She must have got stage fright the last day as I expected her to run well. I've always liked her although I seem to be in a minority around our place. The dam was an expensive foal at Keeneland, and is from the same family as Dartmouth. She could be a nice filly next year.

Adool wins Hurry Harriet for Weld & Smullen

This is a race I like and Gowran is an excellent track. She is a lovely, progressive filly. Pat said she was a little bit green when he let her down, but this is only her third start, and she'll learn from that. She won her maiden very impressively and then she ran very to finish third in the Meld behind two very good older horses, so she was group placed after that. It is lovely to win a stakes race with her, and I'm especially placed for Sheikh Hamdam because it's one of his famous families, and it's nice to keep them in the limelight and get blacktype with them. We will see now next if we can win a group race with her. She is a late maturing filly, she has been very immature mentally and physically. The good ones always show you ability and she showed it even as a two-year-old but she was just immature so we took our time and patience is delivering.

Lady comes from last to first under McDonogh

Romantic just prevails for Rogers & Leonard

He's been very consistent this year winning at Bellewstown, and the shorter trip probably just caught him out at Tipperary last time. He's owned by my family and friends (the Grange Racing Syndicate), and he is terribly well bred.

Famous proves too good for Creme

She was very unlucky at Galway where she was challenging on the inside and another horse came back onto her. These things happen in Galway but she's a hardy filly who goes on any ground. She stays a mile and a quarter or a mile and a half.
