First winner for Kyle McHugh

that was brilliant for the kid (McHugh) - he is with me all winter and while he needs experience, is after gaining plenty lately. I had this race in mind for him when I saw the entries and saw it was an apprentice race. Kyle has had a few spins but they were on longshots and this is the first time he has had a proper chance. I could have put Dan King on the horse but thought everyone needs a chance in life and gave him the ride. He was a lovely horse for the job, we own him ourselves and is basically for that. I said to make the running but he didn't get away although he didn't panic and did everything lovely.

Second success for 'fast horse' Furnace Creek

we were disappointed with him in Dundalk but we changed his training around for the last day at Listowel and we were hoping to build on that. We think he did that. He is a big, fast horse and has settled nicely at home and was also nice and settled today at the races. He is a horse with ability and has plenty speed. We have eight horses in between flat and jumps.

Calum Hogan rides first winner on Bear Claws

it is all down to Calum and what a ride he gave him. It was his first time riding at his local track and he gave him a super ride. He was patient, got the opening and stole a few lengths entering the straight and it was the winning of the race. He is a fine young fella and his mum and dad can be very proud of him. He has spent the last month in David O'Meara's in England but even in that time he looks to have grown again. We've been lucky with many local lads from Rathkeale who rode for us and turned out to be fine riders. They've done very well for themselves and this fella is able to ride as well.
