He won the Apprentice Derby for us with Paddy on him as well. Paddy is local to us in Letterkenny and we like to keep it local. Luke McAteer has rode for us as well,. This is a great course. All things being well he runs again at the Curragh on Tuesday and then we’ll put him away until next year. He’ll get his holidays as he doesn’t handle the all-weather. That’s our fourth winner this year and we’ve had six seconds and three or four thirds as well from six horses. It’s a nice enough strike rate and we’ve a couple of nice horses. They’ve been going well. We’re hoping to go to the sales now in Newmarket and stock up to keep the show going.

J.J.G. Ryan, rider of Razdan, trained by Chris Timmons, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount refused to race and refused to canter back in
The Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer examined Castleheath, trained by Ciaran Murphy, at the request of the Raceday Stewards and reported the animal to be post race normal
The Raceday Stewards interviewed Chris Timmons, trainer of Razdan, concerning the conduct of this horse who stood in the stalls and refused to race. Chris Timmons stated that they tried using a blindfold today and it didn't work. Having considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards advised Chris Timmons that a repeat performance from his charge may render the animal liable to a suspension in the future.
