Budds' best bounces back
He'd lost his way a little bit and the small-runner field suited him today with no hustle and bustle,. He got his own way and was in great form. Darragh said he never felt him as well since Cheltenham. After that, he just wasn't himself but he's actually been working really well lately. It's a good confidence booster and he'll come on for it too. I'll speak to the owners and see where we go next.
Carr's veteran continues fine spell of form
He was fourth in a Ladies Open in early April and he hasn't been out of the money since,. I bought him as a three-year-old and he's still going strong. I keep telling you lads in the press that we threaten to retire him every year! . He's very quiet to ride and everything. The kids all rode him. One thing that we've done differently this year is that we bring him to Laytown every 10 days or so, and he loves the strand. I hope he stays around forever!
Simple Things makes experience count in maiden hurdle
I'm delighted with that. She had been knocking on the door, so it's great to get the win with her. She had a nice run in Galway and she learned a lot from that, I'd say. She'll probably go back into handicap company now. She likes nice ground, so we'll look for something before the rain comes, although she's been on the go a while at this stage.
O'Brien doubles up as Small Bucks lands the money
The ground in Galway was too soft for her and she didn't act on it. She needs that good ground. She needs to hear her feet rattling off the ground. The horses are running well for us at the moment.
Kenny's Jewel shines brightest for Slevin
She was working well at home and is improving, I'm delighted with her,. A bit backward and an improver. She has a lovely page. . The mother got great coverings. They are all Walk In The Park, but she ended up being Capri. . Martin Shanahan from Fishy Fishy Restaurant has her with me. He's a gentleman. He's below in Millstreet at the show.
