Thats Mypresenting forges clear in Tramore
He hadn't run with a long time. He doesn't take a whole lot of work and loves being fresh. I said to Brian if they were going steady to have him handy. He said they hacked along for the first circuit and that he'd want every bit of the two mile five. I'm delighted for his owners Joe and Hannah (Lee) who are in Portugal at the moment. I was hoping he'd finish in the money and I'm delighted he won so well. He is a Presenting so the quicker the better for him. He is so genuine he would go on any kind of ground, but the better ground brings out the best of him. The key to him is freshness. We'll freshen him up now and keep him on the go during the summer.
Markham's Old Supporter a welcome track win
He didn't get into Killarney and he went to Stradbally instead. It's great and I'm delighted with him. He won two point-to-points and we said we'd try him on the track again. He is a real summer horse and he loves that good ground. That's his plan (to go out in front), that's the way he runs. Rachael settled him brilliantly, he switched off and jumped away. There is a race at Clonmel for him next week and he might run there, we will see how he is in the morning. I do a lot of pre-training and breaking and it's nice to have a winner on the track. I'm based in Grangecon in Wicklow. His owner Louis Hill is not far away in Punchestown.
Options open up for Whiskey Sour
Kings Dolly gets crucial track success
She is a consistent mare and has been holding her form the whole time. She enjoys the good ground and comes from a good pedigree. Her grand dam Private Dancer was a very useful mare for John Kiely a number of years ago.
Courtin Bb a winning spare for Timmons
She had finished second three times before, it's so hard to win and I'm very happy with her now. She'll keep going now and go for another handicap hurdle.
Russell seals Tramore double on Zanjabeel
Nana Joan foils bumper hotpot
She has been knocking on the door. Things just didn't fall right for her at Tipperary. Liz gave her a great ride. I told her owner a year ago that she'd win a bumper so the stress is off now! She might go to the sales or for a maiden hurdle, we'll see what her owner want to do.
