Lordan ploughs lone furrow to success
Inxile lands a blow for Britain
An Saighdiur keeps Tipp men happy
I wanted to run in a premier handicap at Dundalk on Sunday week, but the lads wouldn't let me go there as Tipperary are playing Kilkenny in an All-Ireland hurling semi-final then!. His next run could be in the Ayr Gold Cup or Silver Cup, whichever we get in to. We'll enter him anyway. He's probably a better horse when he's a bit fresher.
First Cornerstone in 33/1 upset
He's always been a horse that showed a bit at home. On his pedigree he was always due to start off at seven furlongs so we have not rushed him. He had a nice run first time at Down Royal when he was very green and Michael Cleere looked after him [deadheated for third on July 27]. The natural progression would have been to go for a maiden, but I thought this looked a good opportunity. Chris gave him a lovely patient ride and he always looked to be travelling best in the race. We'll look at his options now . whether we need to supplement him, but he'll be stepping up to Group level now. I'd say there's a good deal more left in him and he should progress.
Colour Of Love lands the odds
She hated the ground. I just couldn't believe there was only three declared when I saw the runners yesterday. She ran a great race in Naas the last day. She just got going a bit late but she ran the same there today. That's just the way she races. We can't complain as she has been a very good servant and she has won six for us now.
Daisy Mountain and Carberry good team
She has been very consistent and it's great for her owner Paul Daly who has stuck with her. He is from Dungourney, Co Cork. She'll go to Gowran next Wednesday for an apprentices' handicap. Megan gave her a great ride.
Another Mullins makes her mark
That win is absolutely priceless. George and myself have been friends for years. I was best man at his wedding and he was best man at mine. Fiona gave him a great ride and he went right away. I couldn't believe it when he went right away in the straight.
