Going - Good. Fine
Destiny dashes home on debut
Tynan and Kitty 'a good team'
She got no run in Gowran the last day. In those 0-60 handicaps, when things go your way, you have a chance. . That’s three she’s won now. I bought her for two grand so we’ve had a bit of fun out of her. She probably should have won more, she was hitting the front too soon in Dundalk. I had to tell her to hold her up a little bit and take her time, she was idling in front and probably got beat a couple of times she shouldn’t have. She’s in the 70s now so she’s going to find it a bit tougher. We’re running her every week and we’ll keep running her until she tells us to stop. Orla gets on well with her, they are a good team.
Soldier strikes in the Sun at Roscommon
He probably needed the run the first time. He’s a consistent horse and always tends to show up. He had a nice run first time. Credit to them today, it’s beautiful ground, and Billy kept it very straightforward. He did it nicely and it worked out ideal. He had a nice draw and was in a nice position the whole way around.
Slattery doubles up at Roscommon
He was knocking on the door. . He was second in a nursery, but then disappointed a bit and we were doubting his resolution at times. Another owner had him, and I told the lads to buy him as he’d win a race for them. He’s done that. He’ll tip away. That was a 0-70 and he’ll still get into another one. He would have got into a 0-60 but there wasn’t one for him. John Quinn, a member of the (Alltheblues) syndicate, lives in Monaghan now but he’s born and reared two miles up the road from here.
