King earns praise from Martin after Day Trader's win
Myself and the owner got stopped at the gate (on the infield) before the race, but fortunately got in in time to get our picture taken with the horse. The horse was a bit keen and free in the north (Down Royal), was off-and-on the bridle at Killarney whereas today he was back to himself and carried him everywhere. Dan was excellent on him, I think he is underrated and is as good as any rider riding in the country.
Stallion-master Maher wins with Patty O’Farrell
we had been handicapping and the Policy Makers get better as they get older. Patty O’Farrell is a grand mare, will be better over fences and you know me, I love the cross-country races.

The reason Alan (O'Sullivan, nephew) picked the runner-up to ride was because this horse's jumping hadn't been good enough at Mallow or Killarney, where he made three or four mistakes. Mick (Kenneally) had given him a great ride to win at Dromahane previously and, in fairness, he is a 134-rated hurdler so was the class horse in the race if he jumped. I've been lucky to get him as horses like him don't come around very often.
