Belt overcomes mud for stylish victory

I was very worried about the groud and nearly took her out this morning,. She didn't really like it and down the back he was niggling her a bit. She might run again later in the season over a mile. We'll see what the ground is like. It's great to see them in good form still.

McDonogh times it well on Fox

She ran on slow ground last year so I wasn't as concerned as a few of the other lads,. It was a long seven furlongs today. She won over a mile last time. I thought the rider was very good today. He waited on his run as it was so testing. She has jumped a little bit in the ratings and went up 9lb for her last run. I thought that might see her beat. I don't think he can be too severe on her today. She will be a bit better on dryer ground. She's a fun horse. She's improving and is very sound.

McDonogh doubles up on Saajidah

She won well. She stays well and didn't mind the ground,. I'll probably enter her for the Cesarewitch and see what weight she gets. She'll probably get a hike for this.

Number three for McDonogh on Dibella

She's tough and ran well in Killarney last time. She was green then and rolled around a bit when Fran (Berry) went for her. So we stuck the cheekpieces on today to help,. She stays really well and is improving with racing. The step up in trip helped as well. We'll go handicapping with her and it was good to get a bracket with her. I thought Declan would suit as he'd give her a strong ride.

Hopper makes all for shock win

Raheenwood grabs victory under Fogarty

He's a right little horse and that's his third win of the summer. I was a bit apprehensive about the ground,. We'll have a go at a good pot in Listowel now, either over two-and-a-half or three miles. He's only five and is still improving and progressing with time. To win three is good going and hopefully there is still a bit left.
