Rosie Frith puts her experience to good use
Her first two runs were actually better than they looked and had a great run the first day at the Curragh, where she wasn't beaten far having raced very green. We made the running at Fairyhouse where she didn't get home over six (furlongs), so decided to let her go from the front today, as she is a forward-going type. She stole a march on them, used her experience, and a lot of the others were green in behind. I am surprised although was thinking she wasn't a no-hoper and, in fairness, the owner Seanie Mahon from Kells, who heads the syndicate, was very keen to have another go over five furlongs.
In-form Thorne on a roll with Jack The Bachelor
He is bred in the purple speed-wise which caught our eye at the breeze-up sale and he also came highly recommended from Roger O'Callaghan's Tally-Ho Stud from who we buy a couple of breezers every year. He has an awful lot of natural speed, but might have needed the first couple of runs to get into the proper racing system. I now feel he has the talent to jump up to stakes level as he has a lot of natural speed and is a top-of-the-ground horse. Jack gave him a lovely ride, the horse settled lovely and he kicked at the right time.
Red Evolution wins Cork's Premier event
Colter Bay a poignant success for Browne-Souza
McGuinness' Hastily registers fourth annual success
she has won at the age of three, four, five and now six but he hard enough to train and is temperamental. She is hard work at the start and tries to kick other horses but on her day, she isn’t too bad. She won here previously so we thought the track would suit and the good ground suited, so there was a lot in her favour. She got a good ride as he managed to get her to jump out well: she had been slow out of stalls a lot lately but got over that today. Our last winner was back in December and the bigger the gap, the more you enjoy it.
Vervain wins a thriller in Cork nightcap
She is a very honest filly and I think she will make into a fantastic broodmare as she has beautiful conformation with a lovely pedigree. She is sound in wind and limb and I would recommend her to anyone as a top-class broodmare. I think 1m2f is her trip so we got away with it (1m4f) today - she'll definitely go back to 1m2f the next day.
