Toto Too now two from three

He's a lovely horse to be honest with you. He schooled well at home and I was probably keen to get him out on a bit nicer ground. I thought he always wanted a bit nicer ground and Keith was saying he has loads of boot. Keith was saying he thought he would go on easier ground too, so he is a nice horse to look forward to going on to the winter. He has a bit of age on his side and we'll stay going until he tells us to stop. I think he could develop into a nice novice hurdler for Basil (Holian, owner). He works like that at home, he works like a horse that has loads of pace and that is what he has shown in his races. He's always nearly the last one off it (bridle). Even the horse of Andy Slattery's that was second to us in Killarney (Royal Hollow), I'd say that is not a slow horse. I'd say he will mix it with the best of them away during the winter, hopefully.

Elliott one two and the rest are floundering

It was a good opportunity for him. He will mix and match,. I think he could step up in trip, he stays well and I think he probably wants two and half miles I'd say. He had a good run in the Galway Hurdle, it was probably a bit short for him, and he had a great run in a charity race at the Curragh. Maybe a two mile Flat race or two and a-half miles over hurdles, but I have no real plan.

Doyle acts early and O'Sullivan does rest

The horses are well thank God,. I thought she should have nearly won in Ballinrobe and could have gone very close in Kilbeggan, and lost her hind legs at the back of the last in Tramore. Beautiful ride, mid-division and scraped the paint. The only moment was when she was a bit long at the second. These races are so determined by the experienced riders. She made the difference anyway. She's a little bit tricky, so I rang Maxine a week ago and I said 'if you have nothing that is jumping off the page at you, I think I'll go close'. That's how ahead of the game you have to be. Great to get her head in front. She is 15.2 and I put a syndicate into her that wanted to lease something. You wouldn't be brave enough to waste an entry fee on her going to the sales that height, she's so small. This is her game, but a little Flat race might not be beyond her somewhere along the line. We might wait until next year, we'll see.

Griffin clan happy to get Mr MacPhisto back on a winning track

Danny gets it done for dad

Two on the board for Peter Fahey at Navan

Mark was saying they went very quick early on and, then when they steadied it up, he just got on the bridle a bit and travelled,. He picked up well and quickened away down to the last. He's a nice horse, he's a very consistent horse and never runs a bad race. He had two runs in Galway one day after the other and he ran a cracker both days. He'll be a nice horse there for nice handicaps. He gets two and a half mile and I suppose some of those nice two mile handicaps where they go fast up front, he could be dropped in a bit and come through them. He could be one to sneak in off a low weight in a real good two-mile handicap. I think that is his proper forte. I think ground doesn't bother him. He still has a nice mark on the Flat so there could be something for him before the end of the season on the Flat.

He Fitz In goes in at decent odds again

Loreley not long about coming good for Connell

It was my fault the last day in Wexford - we rode her the wrong way, we dropped her out and there was no pace and it turned into a sprint,. She wants a big, galloping track like this. She has plenty of experience now, she has her point-to-point won but I was surprised how well she travelled all the way down and, then when the other horse came to her, I thought he might take her by surprise and just go by her, but she heard him coming and picked up. This is a bonus because she is a staying mare, she is a jumping mare. We are delighted to get that job done today. She won a point-to-point in Lisronagh last year, so on the basis of that she is well capable of winning a mares' maiden hurdle and we will see where we go after that. We'll go for a mares' maiden hurdle in three or four weeks time. I wouldn't think she would want deep ground, but until Christmas the ground doesn't tend to get too bad.
