Kendancer goes in for Byrnes brothers

I’m delighted with that and on ratings he was entitled to win it. His jumping had been a bit iffy in the past but he really put it together today.

Flying Scotsman arrives on time under Walsh

'Compliant' mare completes double for the Byrnes'

That’s brilliant — it’s both myself and Philip’s first double. She really jumped for fun out there and good ground has really brought about improvement in her as we saw the last day.

Kilashee makes all to win for Ryan & Fitzgerald

She stays well and has a lovely pedigree. She is a half-sister to (eight-time winner) Kilcarry Bridge and the dam is an own sister to Irish National winner Hear The Echo. She did that well. She could be very good. She had a wind operation and Tom O’Brien, the head man in Halleys, deserves great credit for getting her here. She’s an Oscar and it’s very important for her to win a race.

Father Jed completes 43/1 double for red-hot Ryan

That horse won here a few years back and his previous owner Pat Morrissey gave him to my daughter Gillian for small money as she loves him.

Ballyoisin defies market weakness to make winning comeback

If he was a human being you would call him Paul McGrath, he’s had so many chips taken out of his knees! Ger Kelly and the crowd down in Fethard Equine have done a great job to hold him together for us.

Deserved first win for Cusack's chaser

He’s been knocking on the door and run some smashing races. He was a bit unlucky here in the Mayo National and had a bit of a look when he hit the front.

Nikini upholds family tradition with impressive bumper win

A friend of mine, Cathal Coughlan, who I went to primary school with, asked me to find a horse for him so Jock O’Connor very kindly leased us this mare.
