Femme Beauty a first career winner for Max Popan

Wonderfulwonderful for McConnell and Kearney

Harana a maiden no more after decisive success

McMonagle just magic as Wizard doubles up for Cody

I told Dylan to pop out and be handy, and to settle him where he was comfortable, and he gave him a brilliant ride. I was happy watching it, because I knew it was going to be hard for the fancied ones to come from the back. The last day when he won (at Limerick) it turned into a three-furlong sprint and he was tapped for toe a bit, so I wanted him to be handy and that's usually the way to ride them around here. His owners are from Galway and that's the plan for him now. It will be more competitive there, but this was a nice race to win anyway. We just have 10 stables in the yard, and that's as many as I want. Luckily we've managed to find one or two decent horses most years and if they're good enough, I feel I'm good enough to train them.

Rodeo Blues lands gamble to give McMonagle quick double

Daboya back to winning ways with easy Ballinrobe success

She just takes a bit of time to come to hand every year, but her last run at Gowran told us that she was finding her form. She had an ideal draw in three and got a good position. She can be a bit leery and behind the bridle, but today she travelled well for Sam. She'll go back over hurdles before long and she'll probably go to Galway.

Deressa lunges late under Lee to take Ballinrobe nightcap

Mr Weld had her last year and she's a new filly to the yard. She probably needed her first run of the season and the step up in trip suited her. We were second in this last year with Elana Osorio who went on to win the Give Thanks (Group 3) at Cork, and I'd like to think this filly has the class to follow a similar trajectory. I'll have a few two-year-old runners at the Curragh this weekend and will be represented in the Pretty Polly Stakes as well.
