Rush Queen upsets favourite in Naas opener
It's a bit of compensation (after Galway), it's forgotten about now after today,. He gave her a great ride, I know it was a small field. I thought it was going to be tactical and I told him to sit behind Ryan and try and come with one blast with her. Aidan horse had blinkers one so we were saying that he mightn't be the most straightforward. That's exactly what he did and she quickened up really well and went away nicely. We might hunt a bit of black-type with her again and maybe even try and find something in England. She's for sale as well but if she's not sold we will hunt black-type. She's a very genuine filly and she's won a nice pot of money today so it's great. She's not slow, I've worked her with the listed filly at home (Tiger Belle) and there is not a whole pile between them. She travelled very well today. The two fillies came from Con Marnane, from the breeze-ups, and he has put us right with him. We've done really well with them. She's after growing as well, and strengthened up. They looked small starting off but they're not now.

In-foal Craft adds to CV
She did that well. She got a little bit lit up jumping out and Gavin said she was a little lit up on the way down as well so he said he'd just go forward on her and use up her energy,. I thought she was in a bit of trouble but she dug deep the last furlong. It's great to get a win out of her this year, it makes it worthwhile keeping her in training. She just missed out on black-type the last day, she's in foal to Inns Of Court and we have one more race with her. There is a listed race in Cork in two weeks time and she'll probably go for that. She's a decent filly anyway and I suppose she'll be a 90 plus filly after today.
Katola makes winning debut for Weld at Naas
She's a lovely filly. She did it well, she was a little bit green as it was her first run and she'll come on for it,. I would have been surprised (if she was beaten). She had to be brave and once she got a bit of daylight it was all over. She'll progress and you hope to be able to get black-type with her during the year.
