No topping the Mullins family

Duke and the Bolgers have a smart one

First of all he's special — that's the first thing. He's an absolutely proper horse,. Ground would have been a real problem for him but he's just very good. I kept him under wraps. I actually only told Jim about him the week before Leopardstown. I had mentioned it to Jackie that I loved him but it didn't go any further. We saw nothing in Leopardstown to upset us — I said before that that he'd run a huge race and that he'd win here. That's happened now. He has no big entries and I'll have to talk to Jackie and Jim. I'd be inclined to go steady away until next year but he is a Stakes horse. That's the third winner I've trained out of the mare but he's by a very long way the best I've trained out of her. One of his big assets is that he has a fantastic mind. Nothing worries him — he's just a very smart horse and I'm very lucky to have him.

Blazers glory for in-form connections

What a week for Whiskey at Galway

When I saw the draw I said that's our chance gone but the field coming back from 16 to 12 runners was a help,.

O'Dwyer delighted with brave Sea

It's my first festival winner and an important one for those men (the owners),.

Lyla gets the win at 2nd Galway attempt

She just loves racing. Gary said it played into his hands as they went really hard up front and she was on her head the whole way but she just keeps going,. She didn't mind the kickback today and we'll just keep trying to do more of the same. The draw beat her the other day. She's had horrendous draws all year — it was the same at Ballinrobe.

Smullen off mark as Mullins dominates

He's a horse that has his own mind but after all that rain he loved the ground,.
