Miss Corby lands significant gamble in Ballinrobe opener
She missed the break and missed the first. It wasn’t the plan but he didn’t panic and plan B worked,. The better ground helped big time. She ran well first time but then ran into all the soft ground and it just didn’t happen for her, she can be a bit buzzy as well.

Tomas O Maille proves popular with the locals at Ballinrobe
We’re a long time trying to do it,. We tried a few times last year, and it’s like the Mayo team — don’t give up!. He called after the best footballer in the 70s, Tom O’Malley. It’s great to be able to do that here at Ballinrobe and Tom is here today. He’s a fun horse and he’s been knocking on the door and being placed. It’s getting everything right.
Jules Winfield makes impressive debut to land Ballinrobe finale
We had him to a few places so he knew his job but coming here I thought the track would beat him,. When I thought Derek could ride him early last week I was inclined to run him. He’s done well, he’s been away a few times and showed plenty. Our hands were tied coming places but when I knew your man was available it made it a lot easier. He’s a Siyouni. I bought him as a breeze-up yearling, he was too big and no-one wanted him as he was too slow as a breezer but this is always what was in my head so it worked out well.
