Einstein looks smart on debut

Tawaazon bursts through late to gain ninth career win

He’s tumbled down the handicap. He’s a fair work horse,. We ran him on Monday over seven at the Curragh and it was just that little bit too far for him without a bend. He toughed it out well there, he looked in trouble a furlong out but he wanted it today. That’s his first win for me, he’s down the handicap a long way since we got him so he’s entitled to get that. He’s got his head in front now so hopefully he can get it in front again.

Temperance sheds maiden tag under Hayes

She’s always been a very good filly,. I ran her in the Birdcatcher and thought she’d win that. I put a tongue-tie on her to see if it would improve her and she didn’t jump and got into all the trouble. She looked like the winner of the race to me but didn’t get the run. I said we’d go back to maidens and we kept bumping into one. She ran a blinder two months ago in Dundalk. Johnny Murtagh’s filly (Songhai) won it and she was third in a Listed race the other day. I’ve always thought she’d a black-type filly but couldn’t win my maiden. I kept coming up against 90 horses so I said we’d just go for a handicap. The last day I ran her back a bit too quick and I saw it wasn’t the thing to do. I said I’d freshen her right up and thankfully the ground has stayed firm, because that’s what she wants. Everyone keeps preaching that she wants seven, I don’t disagree as I think she could stay seven but I think six is her trip. There is a race next week for her but it would be the same mistake again, running her back too quick. It was either the 0-80 against older horses or this. I thought there would be a huge field for this but there were only 12 or 13 entries and seven declared, but it was a hot field. On paper and homework she should win that but she just hadn’t won.

Galveston too strong for rivals in Naas Rated Race

Calrissiana too strong for Sharayka in Naas finale

She ran on soft ground here the last day and couldn’t handle it at all,. She had a couple of good runs last year and wasn’t mad about the all-weather. She’s leery and she does nothing without blinkers and she was only doing enough there all the time. Eddie bought her at the breeze-ups, off Yeomanstown, as a broodmare and she’s won a race now. I’d imagine what we’ll do now is try and pick up some black-type now, she could sneak a bit. She loves fast ground and she actually keeps trying for you.
