Fast Felix leads home McCarthy 1-2-4 in Killarney curtain raiser

Jack (Kennedy, jockey of Wholelotofbusiness) was unlucky as the faller took his eye off it but the winner had been threatening to do this for a long time. I'm delighted for Sean, Brenda and the Maguire family (owners) who are very good to me and we eventually got our day. I gave the winner a good chance if he brought his best runs but for whatever reason, he was very back in Wexford the last day. From the word go, it wasn't happening for him but nothing came to light afterwards. We're locked up now until Listowel so all of them will now go straight there next.

Ballinoe Blaze gives McCarthy opening race double at Killarney

We thought coming here that we had a really strong hand in the first three races and this horse had been promising to do this for a while. He just lost his way during the summer but he was on song today and it wasn't the strongest race on paper. Gary gave him a peach of a ride, that's his third winner in three days and having dropped to three (pounds), he now needs to keep the ball rolling. Gary is with me six mornings a week and has 26 winners ridden for me. I'm delighted for his owners John, Fergal and 'Swanners' (A Ballinoe Syndicate) as their first horse with me was unlucky as he was ready to do a job but got injured. This horse had been frustrating but I'm back in the good books with a Killarney winner!

Harvey takes full advantage of Rothwell’s Chance

we rode the horse positively the last day but he was just too keen. He travelled well into the straight then but didn’t get home, so I said to Alex to take his time. He gave him a super ride, was very polished and that’s his first winner for me. He is owned by two publicans from Gorey (John O’Connor and Michael Gleeson) who own two different pubs in the town, so normally they’re in competition. I have great support locally and it is lovely to be getting winners for local people.

Millstream Lady another winner for in-form duo at Killarney

She was very fit and well in herself but I thought the ground might be too good for her, as all her form is on softer ground. That was the only worry but for a small mare, she has climbed up the ratings and has won from a mark of 120 now. I particularly like Gary when he rides over fences and while he does ride a bit for me and with Conor (McNamara, son) out injured, we chop and change our riders depending on who suits each horse and also use Calum (Hogan), Sean Flanagan and Dan King.
