Queen makes big impression on debut

Fingerpaint looks like another nice filly for Weld

She’s a lovely filly and hopefully that will start the weekend well for Juddmonte,. She’s a big powerful filly and I thought she’d run a very nice race, she’d been working well. We’ll see how she comes out of the race and speak with Barry (Mahon) and Prince Khalid’s family and then decide where we go. I’d say she’s most likely to move up to stakes level. She’s a lovely mannered filly and she’s progressive. I think a mile will be lovely for her with the way she finished out there. It was a lovely race to start her off in and we’ll step up to a mile now. There will be nice improvement in her going a mile.

Thrice awarded Gallinule in stewards room

Moltophino off the mark in style

It’s a good way to break your maiden,. He’s been very unlucky, he’s always bumped into one or found traffic or something. He was in off a low mark. I know he was out of the handicap but he was actually only a pound out of it before the mid-summer evaluation when he got dropped. That’s great. I was very worried about stall two but he winged the gates and Chris said he was happy in front. He hit the line hard so hopefully he’ll get a bit further in time. I’ve nothing in mind, today was the day.

Bigger things ahead for Bonus after maiden win

Sweeney saddles first winner with Ransom

He’s a nice horse. He ran in Roscommon two weeks ago and anywhere he went he got cut off. He didn’t get out,. We knew today he had to be on the premises. I’ve been claiming horses for the last four or five years. I had a couple in with Dick Donohoe and he is a good man, he gives me advice on what to do and what way to improve them. It’s like a team.
