Kilgame makes all for birthday boy O'Keeffe
Connell's Catchabird flies in again
Charles' Hill is not too Shabby at all
He stayed on great, he is a brilliant jumper. He (jockey Philip Byrnes) kept rowing away, I'd say the ones in front stopped. He got a lovely lead. We didn't know what to expect, so it was a pleasant surprise. You could see him over three miles, he will make a nice chaser. We'll get him home and we'll see where next, he wants a bit of cut.
Sparkling performance by Broad's mare
Great performance. She just wasn't 100 per cent after the last day and we freshened her up. She had been working and schooling well, so this race just seemed to fit. . She's not winning out of turn. We think a good bit of her and we will probably tip away with her for another bit now and, if the ground dries up too much, we'll probably travel her and go to somewhere like Perth. . There's a possibility she could step up for the novice handicap final at Fairyhouse, we'll see. We will enjoy today. . She had her problems earlier on for training, but we've had a good run with her. She's a decent mare and we think a good bit of her. . You won't get better than Danny (Gilligan)- he rode a winner for me when he was claiming 7lb on Turf Range in Dundalk when he was an apprentice (March, 2023). I'm good friends with his dad. You just leave it to him and that's it.
Sweeney's chaser may well appreciate further
Unbelievable ride! Absolutely top-class. Some ride, you'd say going down the back 'where is this fella gonna finish?' He left them all at it.
Murphy's Moudan a gritty winner for Finegan
I thought the last run (fifth at Gowran) was a lovely run in a Listed handicap. . Eoin Walsh and Eoghan Finegan ride for me,and Eoin looked after him that day, but we felt we had to claim off him today. . The young man did a lovely job and I'm very pleased with the ride he gave him. . The horse hit the line well and he handles that ground well. Jumped adequately and he is still going to improve in that department. He is a late developer. He's doing very little wrong which is lovely.
