'Mad' gamble beaten at Limerick as Cullen collects
I don't know where we'll go next, we'll have to find a winners' of one or handicap next. He won two point-to-points last year and is from the same family as Bob Treacy who won two Thyestes Chases for us. I had no intention of running him over hurdles only to give him experience and he ran so well in Gowran I said we'd stick at it as it would be a pity no to. He loves jumping but will stay over hurdles for now.

Moskovite defies top weight for trainer/jockey Hogan
she is a class mare but it was still not going to be easy for her over two miles carrying top weight as she is a 2m4f or 2m6f mare.We went an awful gallop for a handicap but they came back to me and she outstayed them.
Carey Flying as he adds cream to his Christmas cake
that's the cream on the cake after the other day! . The place (his own native Thurles) went mad after he won on Saturday and it was like Cheltenham — I never saw anything like it. I heard this hullabaloo in the stand and I never heard anything like it at Thurles. I had other good winners, that we backed and everything, but that winner was brilliant. he is a grand oul' horse. He'll get more weight for winning but I wouldn't be surprised to see him win again. He is genuine out and is a great jumper; when you're good to jump like that, you have a right chance. He doesn't win every day but he'll be in the money and he goes on any ground. He'll go for a little hurdle race next as he is well handicapped over hurdles.
Sanches shocker as 40/1 chance wins Limerick's bumper
that is a surprise although she had be working well and is a full sister to Shantou Bay who was fourth in a bumper at Naas earlier this month. I knew she'd stay going but I didn't think she'd do that. We didn't believe she was up to that yet but we may have to rethink now and could go for a winners' bumper. It is a lovely surprise!
