Slattery bags first winner for De Bromhead in Ruby Stakes
Henry is very straightforward to ride for as you can generally go forward and Thalara was comfortable all the time. I rode her the last day, in Navan, and thanks to Mr De Bromhead and the owners (Marianne Klay) for putting me back up today. She was a much-improved mare today. I think they just gave her a break in between and she was the pick of the (parade) ring. She’s big, she’s strong and is on the way up. I was comfortable all the way and she picked up well and gave me quite a job to pull her up, which is always a good sign. Nothing got to me and she was doing all the work on her own. I was expecting company but she kept picking up well.
Vega's Muse opens account under patient Foley ride
Things didn't happen for her at Galway where she didn't handle the track, but she had been knocking on the door and we're delighted with her. She kept finishing placed so had been frustrating but we thought a lot of her last year, when her maiden form was very good. Things went wrong afterwards, she got sore shins and her head went a little bit but we have her back now and she is really doing things right. Shane said it was lovely to have another horse to aim at (clear leader No Such Thing) and she really enjoyed chasing, although didn't do much when she got to the front. I hope this is a step in the right direction and hopefully she can keep progressing.

Gangster Granny completes Killarney double for Harrington
The step up in trip and the nice ground really suited her and she had blinkers on too. Keithen gave her a great ride, things went right and he landed her nicely on the line. I think everyone knows whom the filly is named after (Mrs Harrington), and stepping her up to two miles would suit too. We'll look at the Ulster Cesarewitch now.
