Hoban laws down the Law

Conor gave him a great ride. He disappointed here last week when he got very worked up having looked an improving horse last year for which he was hit hard by the handicapper. He was off for a while then before coming back fresh before Christmas and you'd allow him that. We tried different tactics today and we put a hood on him to settle him. I said to Conor to let the horse fill himself up with confidence. It was a rated race and it was a toss of a coin as to whether we'd run. He was wrong on handicap ratings but you've got to take the opportunities when they're there.

Count wishes Lynam runner wasn't there

It was good to get it as we bred her. She is what she is and in races like that you've got to keep going. It'll keep the owner (wife Aileen) happy and it'll make the trip back worth it,.

Two up for Lynam - with another Power

Maontri completes quick hat-trick

Her sister is called Like A Dream and this is like a dream. It's unbelievable to get three wins in fourteen days. Dixie Sheehan who looks after her has done a great job in keeping her fresh for that length of time. We've been waiting five years and now we've won three in fourteen days. We wouldn't have run her but she was so fresh and the handicapper is after giving her twenty five pounds. You won't win anything at home so we said we'd keep going when she was in good form. I don't think there's anything more here for her and she might have a break.

More joy in 2014 for Donnelly and Phillips

Fairy not for catching at Dundalk

Carvelas finally gets there

He's a long time at it. If ever a horse needed a win it was him. I'd suppose he'll go hurdling in the spring or summer. He might get another run here in a fortnight's time if the handicapper isn't too hard on him.
