End Makes the Perfect Start
Vincent Ward has got a great tune out of the ex-Moyglare Stud/Dermot Weld pair, Striking Force and End Of The Affair. The latter made a successful jumping bow in the Slane Mares Maiden Hurdle under Andrew Lynch. Sat 28th Mar

She deserves a chance to go for the big two mile handicap at Galway. She is also in the mares hurdle at Galway but I would be afraid to run her with her pedigree in case something would happen. The intention is to go to the mares sales later in the year. She has been a brilliant servant and never runs a bad race. I have it in the back of my mind to take her over the water for one of the big staying handicaps. I school my horses at Dundalk and every time she runs in a schooling bumper here she always wins it which is a big advantage to her. I train with Frank Broad and we enjoy it. I only have four horses and they are all ex-Dermot Weld trained. It would be great if all our horses were like End Of The Affair.

Pat said she was in front too long at Leopardstown the last day, so the plan was to get a lead. I was a bit apprehensive about running on this tight track with such a big mare but you have to go where the races are. She could go for the Grade 3 mares hurdle at Punchestown, although that may be a bit too hot for her and she could go for a winners-of-one instead.

We were lucky to get here, our box broke down just coming into Bunclody and we had to load our mare into Conor O'Dwyer's box. But it was all worthwhile in the end and Ben gave her a super ride. I have 4 horses in training all ex Weld horses and we'll aim her for a novice hurdle next.

That's fantastic. I've only got six horses in training and when Andrew schooled her he told me she was a classy mare. My plan has been to train her for the big mares race in Punchestown and that's where she'll go. (EM)
