Almadaa gets what he deserves

That was no more than he deserved. It was his tenth time running here since Fergal started to ride him. He's been in the first three nine times and he was fourth in the other run. He is finishing his races off well and I think if the handicapper looks after him a bit he has a chance of winning another. He is only any good on the all-weather . he is useless on grass. Hopefully we'll have a good winter with him.

Hazy Glow enjoys Dundalk surface

Hussey’s persistence on God pays off

Dempsey's lightning start continues

Ballycroy shows her progression Via Dundalk

She took a while to get her head in front. She always showed plenty and she just started to come to herself. We were a bit concerned about the seven as she showed plenty of pace the last day (over six furlongs) but she switched off. She could be progressive and we'll keep going and we'll see where we end up. She likes the surface.

Sweeney has Raydari humming

The long trip paid off. He ran better tonight than the last time. He got 8Ibs for the last night and he'll probably get another 8Ibs. He won snug and he'll probably come back here in two weeks time.

2 at Dundalk for Smullen at odds of 43/1

Shadow Gate shows that class is permanent

I got the horse in April. He was a bit stiff and he had joint and muscle problems. He had loads of small things wrong with him and I nearly gave up on him. In the last few weeks he started to pick up well and I was very happy with him. There is a listed race here in the middle of November and we'll try and run there. I'll have to talk to the owners. The idea is to look for a small place for him at stud somewhere. I trained Pop Rock to win at Galway and after he won there he went to stud in the Czech Republic.
