Best start possible for favourite backers
He's a staying type and the conditions suited him. Mark gave him a grand ride and thinks he'll probably be a better chaser than a hurdler. He should stay further,. He'll have another couple of runs over hurdles and we'll see what the handicapper does. He's a soft ground horse.
Wishmoor and Blackmore get it done at Naas again
That was another great ride by Rachael, even better than the last day. We'll freshen him up now and see where we go with him,. I'd say he wants better ground. It's very tacky down the back. We can step him up another furlong or two on better ground.
Elliott's Cartwright demolishes Naas rivals
He's a grand fun horse and will win plenty of races.There will be a few days in him on the Flat as well, and he can run in some of the bigger handicaps. He stays very well,. He wants better ground and has come on nicely from his run at Gowran.
Power steps in for O'Regan to win on Mastermind
3 from 3 for Benie since joining Mullins
She travelled nearly a bit too well but she's so quick over a fence. She was a bit keen there on the soft ground but it was just her class coming through. I was making ground everywhere and I couldn't really get her to come back,. She's a pleasure to ride and so easy to have anything to do with. She's so quick over a fence that she could do anything. She could come back jumping hurdles as she nearly jumps her fences like a hurdle.
Archie Meade delays retirement plan
He's had his problems but I've had my own problems. I was out for about three months after a young horse came back on top of me at Spanish Point and I was in a wheelchair for a while. I want to thank Ciara Daffy who did a lot with him when I was out. She was out in all weather, and also my father as well,. That would have been his last run today if things didn't work out. We decided to drop him back in trip because the ground was testing and to be fair Cathal gave him a grand ride. He might go to Leopardstown now over three miles. I have four in training at the moment.
Got the name got the talent this Band can go far
He's a nice horse and he'd been working well. He's a half-brother to Gowiththeflow who won on Thursday, and another nice horse called Lough Derg Farmer,. I've been buying foals for the last four or five years, and he was one of the batch. Richie Downes buys them for me. He's probably the first one of them to run so hopefully it's a good omen. He only cost 9,000 and is a fine big horse who will make a chaser. He'll probably have one more run before the end of the season. The syndicate have had great success with the likes of Sea Light, and a lot of them are local to me. He's called after a dog that won the English Derby (in 1977).
