Fitz shows his class at Galway again

It's good to ride a winner for connections that really enjoy it too. He jumped good and solid and was well-balanced on ground he wouldn't like. With the conditions of the race here it was a hard one to walk away from.

Maundy Money wins on another big day

He cost four and a half thousand out of Mark Johnston's a few years ago now (November 2005) and he's been a legend of a horse for us. He obviously likes festivals and as a ten-year-old he is still as fresh as paint.

Bally continues on the up

I have fifty odd in Ireland and in fairness to this one he is still learning. I had a winner when we were last here about three years ago with Loosen My Load so it's good. His jumping is a big asset. He is improving and getting stronger all the time. He'll keep to the novice route. (TW & EM)

Weld up to 7 with double on the day

He did it well and Pat gave him a lovely ride. He had a lot of weight but he's a good horse. I'm thrilled for the owner/breeder Sean Coughlan and his wife Anne who are here to see it. He's a very adaptable horse and I'm very pleased to have had two lovely winners today (won the Listed race earlier with Yellow Rosebud). Plans are fluid going forward with the way conditions are though,.
