Going - Good, Good To Firm In Places CHANGED to good at 7pm. Raining
Kamil takes eventful opener in first time cheekpieces
Love conquers all at Limerick
Brouder rides winner on first ride for McNamara
the shower or rain that came was a huge help to him and we were waiting for a place where the ground wasn't too quick. He worked so well the other morning that I said to Tim Duggan (owner) that we should take a chance and run him if we get the rain. It was the best bit of work he ever did for us and I was anxious to take the chance. He'll go for something similar in a few weeks time next. It was Kevin's first ride for me and he was in to us a couple of days last week.
Tiger roars to a second success
He just got away with the ground and we're lucky his race wasn't in another hour. He settled well and doesn't have to make the running but he seems to enjoy bowling along here. We have him in Galway on the Wednesday and hopefully he gets in there now. I'm delighted with him. Eoin seems to click with him and is a great jockey in fairness to him; he comes in to school and ride work for me.
Bowe hails best finish 'in a long long time'
I thought have the stands were going to have a heart attack and it was the most exciting finish I've seen in a long long time!. And for a minute I thought I lost my jockey before the post — I was going to kill him, but luckily he hung on! I think the saddle slipped sideways and he lost his balance. if ever a mare deserved to win, it was her as she tried her heart out and the little drop of rain helped her too. She may go to Galway on the Sunday for a conditions' chase next and we'll see how she comes out of this. Cathal loses his 7lbs claim today and can only take 5lbs off from now on, which is a tragedy!
Black scores on return to hurdling
Galvin makes it two from two in style
He is an honest horse and he has improved well from the last day. He's not a bad horse and we'll probably go jumping hurdles sooner rather than later as he'll be a chaser for next year. I don't know if he'll be a real winter, heavy ground horse but he's the type of horse we're going to have plenty fun with.
