Boru wins battle of big priced pair

It was a bit of a surprise. I train him for a local syndicate in Armagh,.

Mo Chara rewards his friends

We have been holding out for the ground all year, and stepped him back in trip. I always thought he was a two and a half miles horse but its such a stiff track here and I was glad to see the rain coming,. While he's well and in good form we'll keep rolling along, and I'm delighted for the owner Stuart Andrews, who is a good friend of Rita Shah. We have had a tough year but the horses are starting to come right, and it's great for all the owners who have stuck by us.

Shed impressive on return

He was a nice hurdler last year and just flattened out a bit near the end of the season,. He's improved for a summer break. I'm not sure if he'll go chasing just yet or we might wait. The owners (Ives Ashley Vasey Partnership) are from Brighton and have a couple of horses with us.

Jazz Singer calls the tune for Townend

Paul gave him a great ride. I half fancied him as he'd some good runs in Perth and also ran well the last day in Down Royal,. I was a bit worried about the ground but Paul said he was always travelling on it. He'll be a nice horse for fences next year. We'll keep him on the go until the real winter ground, and he could go to Down Royal for the Festival.

Killdunne another shock winner

Empresario back in business

Bryan took his time and gave him a great ride. I knew he was in good order and if the ground was better I would have fancied him big time,. He's a lovely horse to have. The last day at Galway probably just came a bit soon as it was only a few days after he had a hard race here.

Story looks nice prospect in bumper

Even though he was favourite I thought he might need the run as we have not done that much with him. He had a little problem with a hind joint last year,. Nina thinks he's a good horse, and he's bred to be as he has a good pedigree. He was green and will probably not run again for a while. He'll go over hurdles and jumps well.
