'He looks like an Ascot two-year-old' - New Yorker scores for Ballydoyle at Dundalk
10 is the magic number for veteran Jered Maddox
The handicapper gave him a chance. He ran well the last day, and we missed an engagement here last week. Just delighted he got back - we were tempted to retire him, but then he ran really well the last day. In fairness, Luke gave him a brilliant ride. Luke is improving every month that goes by now, he has been riding great. We have had a bit of seconditis lately, but they are running well anyway.
Marnane and McAteer at double with Allsortz
Nothing more than he deserved. To be fair, he is very tough and very genuine. It was a good, tough, front-running performance. Again, Luke was very good on him. He is good and strong, but he actually held him together for a long way and only went on on him in the last sort of half furlong. He could end up in the July Sale, there's a chance he could go there so we'll see. He's a lovely horse and very straightforward with a good attitude and he will be good fun.

Marnane and McAteer plunder Dundalk treble via Golddream
Typical of ours, they usually do (step forward on second run). We were delighted with him, he was only a couple of lengths behind Jamestown (fourth-placed stablemate) who ran really well the other day (runner-up in Gowran Park). It seemed like a strong race today. He's a lovely horse and could be a real good horse. Fingers crossed he is as good as the other Grey Gatsby, Tokenomics.
Tormey again seen to good effect on Celtic Druid
The breed improve with age. I had Lady Scathach who didn't do anything until she was a four and five-year-old and she won five for us. They just seem to need time. It wasn't the plan to be that far back - we just got swallowed up from the outside, but she gave him a very cool ride after that. He did it very well, quickened up fierce well. He had been working out of his skin, and I would have been disappointed if he wasn't thereabouts. He improved since his last run. If there is something that suits here (in April or May), we'll use it, but he has form on grass as well. He's improving away. The winter has been great for Sadhbh, she has got great experience up here. She is apprenticed to me and with me the whole time. I put her up on as much as I could and it is standing to her - she is getting the whole feel of it.
