Mans made to battle for winning Irish start
Elliott 'returnee' wins easily at Limerick
we actually had him as a youngster and he was a horse we always thought a lot of. He obviously went to Willie’s (Mullins) and came back to us and today wasn’t a surprise as his work at home was very good. He’ll have to step up now but couldn’t have been more impressive today. He is a horse we think a lot of and might be starting to fill into himself now and is a big shell of a horse. He’s a horse we like.
Joe Joe takes easier option and scores
I knew he'd handle the ground and he was entered here (Tim Duggan Memorial Chase) yesterday and I was on the verge of declaring him but then I felt it was a good race and this was a veterans' race,. He's a grand horse and we got him for nothing three years and on three legs; thanks to swimming, it keeps him sound. We'll look for something similar next.
Soft ground suiting Island
She was a good mare on the Flat and her hurdles form has been getting better recently. The softer ground seems to be helping her and she seems better on it,. The winning owner, David Egan, is from Kildare, and he's a friend of Henrys.
Tata completes 5-timer in Limerick's feature
she is a good mare and I don’t think two miles is her ideal trip so we decided ride her nice and positive. Her Gold Cup is going to be the 2m4f Mares’ Hurdle at Cheltenham - she is improving the whole time but I doubt we’ll see the real article until she goes jumping fences. She is straightforward and stays going well and will have one more run or will go straight to Cheltenham. She is one to look forward to.
Coffey's Jack is on the market
He failed to win until now but is a good horse and jumps brilliant and seemed to handle the ground better than any of them. I ran two horses earlier this week and they were a disgrace!. It's fantastic and it's my first winner here and I'm based nearby in Nenagh. He'll be sold if somebody will buy him off me and I've also had two or three point to point winners in the autumn and this is my second Irish winner although I had a double in England years ago. John (Fitzpatrick) comes in two days a week schooling and he gave it a great ride.
98/1 Limerick brace for Mahon
He was the one I fancied coming here today,.
