Slatterys strike in Listowel opener
Her run in Galway was a bit of a disappointment but she broke badly, was racing on the outside and was racing away from horses. She hanging left and was ducking away from them. We thought she was a nice filly going to Leopardstown (third on debut) and I think she still is a nice filly. . She is in the final of this auction series in Naas (October) off a low weight so that is her next port of call.

Found's foal flounders as Naples beats similarly-rated rivals
Billy was happy although had a tougher passage through the race than he expected to have but the horse did it comfortably in the end. It was a tight finish and the horse pricked his ears when he got to the front, as he thought he had enough done. Hopefully there is more to come. He ran well on soft ground at Cork last week and is a horse who seems to like those conditions. Hopefully we will have a good autumn with him. That's my only runner here all week and it is great to give Claire Carroll - who lectures in Mary Immaculate College in Limerick, a winner.
Whearty rides out claim at Listowel
Starford, and Browne McMonagle, resume winning ways
He won really well. He had a great run in Galway in a strong race and he had a nice freshen-up since. He handled the soft ground well and it’s a big advantage down there today. We could look at something like the Finale Stakes (at the Curragh on November 2nd) . He’s not EBF qualified so we have to mix and match where we go. He’s a smart horse and I’d say he’s going to end up in stakes company.

Outsider wins Listowel finale under Harnett
I have a lot of supporters and this is my first winner, so is the start of it. I had the choice of coming here or going to Killarney so I'm delighted to be here. He had a few good runs so I was hoping for his right ground and hoped he would break from the stalls and make the running. It turned out he got things his own way. He had a look around but when he straightened him up around the final bend, he knew it was home he was bound. We collected our money so that's what it is all about! He was well-backed each-way and was a good price. I have six horses in at the moment and have two or three syndicates locally in Askeaton, including lads who own the Top Of The Town Pub. I have a few for the Flat, jumps and point-to-points. . I'm from Nenagh, was involved with horses for years and took out my licence last year. I bought Paddy Neville's yard and am working out of that and have been friends with him and his family for years.
