By The Lake another winner for in-form Colin Keane
It was obvious that she didn’t stay the six in the sales race, with the headwind and everything like that. Well done to Ger, it was his decision to take a punt and run her back quick over five. On the grass it would have been easier decision not to but being in Dundalk he took a punt and it’s worked out. We’ll look at the programme book but there is a fillies Listed race back here (Legacy Stakes on October 3rd) over five. She’s shown she’s very quick and handles here so that would be the obvious race. She’s a two-year-old so we’ll make hay while the sun shines.

He did it well, Gary gave him a lovely ride,. Everything went to plan, he likes a sound surface. In Gowran the ground was a bit slow for him. He has his own way of doing things, this horse. You can design all the plans you like and then he makes his own mind up. Gary now knows him and he gave him a lovely ride. He likes top of the ground so he’ll reappear wherever that is and we’ll stick to whatever grade we’re in.

Cala Bonita back to winning ways under Colgan
I thought she’d take a bit of beating, she was in great form at home,. She was sluggish the last day over that trip. We tried cheekpieces on her and they sharpened her up. Robbie said she might improve again, stepping up to a mile-and-a-half. He thought she wasn’t doing a stroke in front. She’ll be going to the horses-in-training sale at Newmarket in October. She’s a grand filly, she goes well at home. You could probably put a line through one or two of her runs in the summer when things just didn’t go right for her. Other than those two runs she doesn’t have bad form this year, she’s had two seconds and two wins.
