My Mate Alfie gets there in time
Colin was excellent, he knows the horse from home. He rode him like a champion jockey should ride him. He produced him on the line and the horse will come on immensely maturity-wise. Austin Whelan, who owns the horse, is an Irishman that lives in London. He's a gentleman and we are delighted for him, hopefully it is the first of many for us. He has a few horses here, there and everywhere, but he has a couple with us. His first couple of runs have been good, but he will only get better mentally and he will get great confidence out of that. He wants a little bit of a cut, the ground is beautiful.

Staying trips suit Gradulations very well
She was a filly we were looking forward to last year. She won her maiden well in Sligo and then she lost her way. She was a big filly and we actually couldn't find anything (wrong), so we just gave her time and she has come back this year and she has really got on the front foot again. We stepped her up the last time and ran her over a couple of furlongs further and realised she stayed. We stepped her up to a mile and a-half and that was an extended mile and a-half and she just skipped away. She likes a nice bit of ground but she seems pretty versatile. It looked like she would get further and Gary (Carroll, jockey) said that. Stepping up in trip has been the key. She is a filly in good form and she is in a sweet spot and she is improving.
Herculaneum strikes for Kelly & Woods
That was a fair ride! My wee girl rides him at home every day and every time we go to the beach she sweetens him up and keeps kidding him on. I said we would maybe put a lady jockey on him. She did brilliantly today. Maybe the blinkers worked as well. He's a grand wee horse to have in the yard, an honest tryer. The syndicate is all local people beside us and it is is a local horse. It is a great result. I have these owners as long as any I have, maybe 15 years.
