Conor eases to victory on hurdling debut
He can jump! He schooled well from day one. He was fit and his form was good on the flat. He handles heavy ground and I suppose it will be Christmas next for him. He is a nice 3yo.
Rio rules in 'For Auction' Novice
That was good and I'm delighted with it. Andrew said that he was a bit hard to get around the bends in front. He is real galloping horse and the faster they go the better he is. He is a big raw 4yo and he is a real horse for the future and fences. We will give him a break now and probably bring him back for Leopardstown at Christmas.
Voler beaten by outsider Whatuthink
He has always had ability. We decided to go back over hurdles with him. It was a great performance by him but maybe fitness over the others was the key. He was tipping away all summer while the others were just starting out. He loves that ground and he kept going. He will go to Leopardstown now at Christmas and he might run before then. The plan was to make plenty of use of him and if they were good enough to go by him so be it.
Ballyfinboy lands a gamble
He got away well! He does stay. He's a much better horse on better ground. Chasing is his main aim. He'll have a few more runs over hurdles.
Flemenstar flawless in Fortria
When he is fit he'll be a good one! He will go for the John Durkan now at Punchestown. He has got stronger since last year but he was only 80% fit today. He got beat here the last two years but I slept well last night, I wasn't worried about him. Andrew knows him well. There is no use in telling him what to do. After he goes over two and a half in the Durkan we will think about running him over three miles. He should get three miles on breeding.
Dylan Ross swoops late
Newcomer James takes the Navan bumper
He is a nice horse and is a full-brother to Rory O'Moore. We were going to go point-to-pointing with him but he was showing up well at home. I was anxious across the top but he is a good horse.He got a nice ride and he is a horse for the future. He is only four so he might go for a winners bumper in the spring.
