Quick 'cross-country' double for Mullins with Pont at Wexford
Pat O'Connor gets himself off the 'cold' list
He ran last year in Killarney and was fourth in a good maiden hurdle. The last day he ran in Thurles he missed the last two and he might have been second to Henry's (de Bromhead) horse only for that. That horse (Walk Away) is running in a Grade 1 at Aintree today. James Hannon rides him out and he said; 'if this horse doesn't win today I give up.' In fairness to him he is a good judge. He'll go for a novice now or a handicap, we'll see. He is probably a chaser in the making.
She has a nice name and she has a future - that's Popong
Darver Star impresses on handicap debut at Wexford
That was grand. The last day here over two miles was just too sharp for him. This looked the ideal step-up for him. I thought he wasn't too badly handicapped but that wasn't a bad race today. He won well in the end and he'll jump a fence in time. He had some leg trouble before I got him so he might need an ease in the ground. I don't know if he'll stay going for the summer, we'll wait and see.
Scotch Quay has the winning habit now
It's amazing what a win does for a horse's confidence. It took him so long to win and now he has backed it up. I know it was a bad race but they still take winning. I'm delighted to get it,. He is declared to run at Fairyhouse on Sunday and we will see how he is in the morning. If he is okay we will go there. The ground today was a little bit dead for him and I'd say the ground in Fairyhouse will be a bit nicer.
High School Days completes de Bromhead double
Queally delighted to win "brilliant prize" with Cloudy Morning
That was great. It was a brilliant prize to win with an eleven-year-old,. It's funny that he is still a novice. He has been a great horse for me. He won three point-to-points earlier in the season. He is a great horse to have and he has always done us proud. We will see where we go with him now. After running on so well the last time here over two miles I had this race mapped out for him. We'll see what the handicapper does, but today was the plan and any race he wins after is a bonus.
Mount Ida makes it a treble on the day for Elliott
