So easy for Spin Of A Coin
Obviously it was a very ordinary race but little fish are sweet. I can't remember winning a race that easily. Sam was absolutely wrecked coming in!.
Gray foils well-backed fav on Rock
We got a nice handy lead and he quickened well when I asked him to in the home straight. He stuck it out well and I was always confident he'd hold on. (AM & EM)
Ana told Joe that Ernest would win
He's a grand horse. My sister Ana (European Eventing medallist) rides him out every day and she told me this morning that he'd win. He's a lovely big horse - he's genuine and does everything right.
Sweet win for the O'Briens with Ahimsa
They went very slow and I just got there. It turned into a bit of a sprint but I always thought I was getting there,.
Dundalk & Banna Boirche love story continues
It was a good weight carrying performance and he just loves it around here. Shane gets a good tune out of him.
Samollie well able for his elders
The owner (Martin Sheridan, also bred Samollie) is in Liverpool for the National so this fella has now paid for that trip. We've a full-brother at home and he looks fairly sharp as well. Gary (Phillips) has done well on him (now has a couple of wins and as many 2nds on the Strategic Prince gelding).
All kinds of everything for Thornton
That was kind of overdue. We've been calling him all sorts of names but it's probably been our own fault as he's been getting to the front too soon.
