Capall proves brave in tight finish

Barry Geraghty probably woke him up last time at Kilbeggan. He stays and stays forever. Paul was probably as tired as him at the finish!. After his last run we put him over fences and he jumps well so that will be his long-term target. He's entered on Sunday and originally I wanted to keep him for that but all the syndicate were coming today so I ran him. He could still run again on Sunday.

Ballyholland claims Galway Plate for McBratney

It was always the plan to come for the Galway Plate but it's something else to actually win the race,. I was worried about the ground although he won his point-to-point in soft ground.

Steig strikes again for Moore

He'll get a break now. He's a very good horse and so easy to train. He's very quiet and calm,. He won four races in England before I bought him.

Gem makes it six for Weld

She had to work hard and there is nothing easy at Galway,. She's a tough and very nice filly. The only concern beforehand was the ground but she battled well and won well.
