Easy for Queen in the first at Downpatrick
She's a decent mare just things haven't gone right for her the last year, but touch wood we have her right now, I think. She's out of a Hawk Wing mare and she is a Getaway, she probably just wants that bit of better ground. We will see how we go with her now. Downpatrick has been for lucky for us and we have always been very lucky up north, in Down Royal as well. Even riding here, I was very lucky.
Nakassama on top for Kelly and McGill at Downpatrick
More Downpatrick joy for McLoughlin's mare
Hey Babbs was in season this morning, so we had to come with this one. She obviously won well here the last day, and she seems to enjoy it here. She ran in Sligo the other day and Ricky (Doyle) rode her and said she didn't even blow out a candle. I don't know, she's a tricky filly. Once she is sweet, she keeps going and that is the main thing for them all. It was the same here the last day - when she hit the front, she seemed to relish the hill. She flew up the hill.
Two in a row for Finnians at Downpatrick
He won here the last day, same with the mare (Joya Del Mar), and they seem to like it around here. Once he gets his head in front, he seems to enjoy it. That's a big help when you enjoy the place, he seems to like the hills. I fancied him today, so it was great. Maybe so (build upon that elsewhere), but they all love running in Downpatrick!. It is great for the two ladies that own him and stuck by him. He had a few stinking runs, but he seems to be back in form. We'll see what the handicapper does, but we'll keep him going. I knew coming here he was in good nick, though.

Fr Gilligansvoyge scores a surprise success at Downpatrick
He was pulling like hell today, he's a bit of an oul rogue and you never know what he is going to do. He's like an old pet and we love him. This will definitely be his last year; we are saying that every year! You couldn't retire him the form he is in, though. I see two horses I sold are after winning in Hexham in the last hour or so.
Corway leaves it late to score for Doyle and Cody
