Glitter And Glory gets Harrington off the mark
Glitter And Glory has been a model of consistency and, probably, her only bad run last year was in the Goffs Million which was on heavy ground. She has been so good up here and is just doing things right now. Seven furlongs is really her trip. She wants good ground and hasn't had a recent break, so I think if we get a bit of nice weather now we will give her 10 days in the field and bring her back for Irish Guineas weekend for a fillies' handicap. We said all last year that all the Lucky Vega's do is keep improving from two to three (years) and I think he is a sire that is going to have a very big season this year. It is great for the girls (Glamour & Glory Syndicate) to have a winner and this is our second runner of the new season, so it is nice to have a guide.
Admirable Amemri creates another memory
I suppose she is getting a little bit older so we just put the headgear on. She travelled really, really well the last day but probably didn't get the mile and Robbie (Colgan), who rode her, she was doing a handstand down at the '2' pole but just kind of got tired. We rode her a bit colder today and Luke gave her a great ride. She loves picking up off the pace and, even when she got into trouble, she still found plenty. She's quite a good filly and there's not many at her age have won 10. It is a lot of winnings, but she has given us a lot of pleasure.
Hayes completes Dundalk double
Consecutive wins for Ohailbhic
Ohailbhic had a hard old time last year when he got gelded and had a couple of problems. He got the mile great, cruised into it although I think the race fell apart. It fell asunder a bit but he relishes that surface and I'm delighted he won again for the owner (Ivan Holloway). There's a race on April 3, a €50,000 handicap up the Curragh over a mile, for him next.
