Gardens looking good in Killarney

He's a nice horse and will make a lovely stayer. He handled the ground well and has done it nicely. He broke a bit slow but I took him to the outside and let him go his own pace. I'd say he'll be a mile and a half horse next year, and maybe even further but he has a bit of class.

Killarney kind to odds-on punters again

Murphy horses back in the groove

We've had a very quiet season as the horses were coughing. They have come right and I'd like to thank all my owners and great staff for their patience. The conditions suited her and she won here before. Shane gave her a good ride, and we'll see what the handicapper does to her.

Listed win could earn Canary a day off

I'd like to tell you that was a clever plan but we were frustrated on Saturday and we were whinging and moaning that the rain came on Sunday. He was a fast finishing third on Saturday but unless it's heavy seven (furlongs) is a bit sharp. I knew he was going to run well today, although on the ratings he had it all to do. He finds a leg when the ground is soft and that's his real trip. Ronan gave him a cracking ride too. It's very important for the stud. He's home-bred, and they have the mother and siblings. I've a very happy owner (Rick Barnes). He's in the Cambridgeshire but he's gone up in my estimations. I'm very fond of him at the moment and I think I'll give him a day off. Having said that if I look in the morning and see an outlandish rise in the ratings I could change my mind. He's so exposed at this stage that I doubt he'll get that much. He's the oldest horse in the race by some way, and he knows more about racing at this stage than I do!

A 3rd win this summer for Cosmic
