Review dundalk 19th Dec
Moonmeister completed a quick hat-trick with a resounding success in the Christmas Party Nights At Dundalk Stadium Handicap as the all-weather track signed off for the yearFri 19th Dec
He had two runs runs for me. I claimed him off a good friend of mine Ado (McGuinness). I asked him and he didn't mind. He knows him inside out and maybe just the change of yard and being freshened up helped. When we got him he looked a million dollars for a horse that's had a lot of runs, and he's a credit to him really. He had a good run in Perth and a good run in Ayr, where they went no gallop. He's a grand versatile horse and he'll head back to England now I'd say. There might be another day in him on the Flat or something. I claimed him for an owner of mine but made the mistake of not putting his name on him so I ended up with him myself which is grand. He's a grand fun horse.
Karl Thornton
He's a bit of a monkey but I said if he came down here and put his best foot forward tonight he was capable of winning,. He won a maiden down here a few years ago for me. He's going to mix it over hurdles and fences during the summer. We'll probably target the north of England with him during the summer months. He won around Limerick last year and on that he'd probably win again. He was probably a little bit short. Dan (Daly, owner) rode him out at home for a while to give him a change of scenery and we have him back less than four weeks. When I saw him kicking turning in I thought he'd blow up but in all fairness he kept going. They went very fast. Dan has run three horses here during the winter and they've all won. Chaparral Dream, All's Quiet and this lad are the only three he has with me. He's had a good winter.
Adrian McGuinness
He's not a bad horse and he (handicapper) gave him a chance by dropping him back into that grade,. We'll tip away but he will get a break at some stage. He'll be more of a spring horse. He's been a great servant. He's not that old and will go over fences next season. We'll go summer jumping and mix it with him. We probably will try a better race down here in a couple of weeks time.
Adrian McGuinness
He likes good ground and has been running well. He was probably unlucky not to win at Galway,. I don't think he stayed the two-and-a-half the last day when he ran with the choke out. I told Jack to drop in and bide his time. He's different gravy this guy. He's in a different league and is a serious rider. I didn't give him a whole pile of instructions. He went down the paint and bided his time. He's in again on Monday at Roscommon. It's two-and-a-half but I put him in again just in case. We'll have to see what Mr O'Brien says. He'll definitely go to Listowel and eventually, he's a serious horse over a fence, so has a good future hopefully.
Adrian McGuinness
He's a good few pound higher on the all-weather. He had two good solid runs at Leopardstown and ran into one or two,. He has improved. He stays but he's a bit leery and only does enough. He's in Killarney over 2m1f and he's also in over fences. He's a serious horse to jump so we could go either way.
Adrian McGuinness
He was a bit disappointing at Galway but with the light weight we had to come here and have a whack at this pot. He can be a bit of a monkey and I haven't been easy on him in the past ten days. He has a lot of ability though and Jonathan Moore gave him a super ride and the good pace in the race suited him. It looks like he might have won anyway as the other one (Jesmond Lodge) was tying up. He might sneak into the bottom of the weights in the Lartigue Hurdle at Listowel next - I won it with Victram in 2004.
Adrian McGuinness
He was bought at Newmarket in October as a dual purpose type. He's a big horse and he's still a bit immature. He'll go for a maiden hurdle now next Saturday,.
