Foley goes one better with Dusk
Annie one for the locals at Fairyhouse
We were delighted with Down Royal. She’s improved a lot from her two-year-old days. Andrew Lynch rides her all her work. We thought we were going with a bit of a chance (last time) as it was three-year-old only, it’s hard to get those handicaps. Colin said after Down Royal that we could drop her back if we wanted. The man that owns her, Joe Dervan, is local, from Ashbourne. It’s his first runner in these colours. She just bumped into one on the day last time. Colin said she’s still babyish and learning her trade. She was still little bit green at the finish. He wanted something to aim at rather than being in front and having the older horses coming at her. He gave her a super ride, as usual. She loves good ground, six or seven. She’s had her win now so that’s great and we’ll enjoy today.

She caught me a little bit by surprise, winning as easily as that,. I was hoping she had a chance, she got stuck in the mud in Cork. She had a good run first time and we went to Cork thinking we had a chance, and probably shouldn’t have run her on the heavy ground. I’m a bit stunned to see her run away from them like that. Colin said she’d go further and she loved the ground. We haven’t really thought any further than today, so we’ll see what’s coming up. She’s a nice filly and hopefully she’s lucky for them.
