Mumhan makes winning debut in Curragh curtain raiser

He’s a good horse and he just needed a bit of time,. He’ll probably go for the Killavullan and then I’ll have to find a race to make him champion two-year-old!. He was very green and should improve.

Gazelle d'Or lands Joe McGrath Handicap for Grassick

It probably should have been a double but I’d say the filly in the first just parked a little bit in front, and probably wants better ground as well. This filly is a different filly over five. She was drawn one and she ends up over on the stand’s side, she lost a lot of ground to come over but she needs cover. She just runs too keen over the six. She was a little bit unlucky in the Scurry and the last day, she probably should have been third or fourth the last day. She’s a hardy filly, I’d like to try and get a bit of black-type with her. There are no five furlong races but I might look at the Listed race next weekend (Brigid’s Pastures Stakes). I might look at taking her to France next year. She seems to want an ease in the ground.

Engines On back to winning ways at the Curragh

He had a great run in the Cambridgeshire,. He won on his debut for us in Naas, over seven. We said we’d have a go at the Cambridgeshire, the ground probably wasn’t soft enough for him. He wants a dig in the ground. We ran him in Roscommon before the Cambridgeshire and he didn’t go at all on the ground, he was well beat that day. He came out of it grand though and everything was good. It was a good run in the Cambridgeshire and this was the plan since then. He’ll probably be put away now and we won’t make any plans just yet.

Rowdy Yeats strikes for Colin Keane at the Curragh

It was a monsoon in Roscommon and the ground was very deep and heavy and he just didn’t handle it. When he turned in he just left him alone. There is soft ground but that was bottomless. He was really flying at home. He’s a very good horse and I’ve rarely seen a horse work better than him, no matter what he’d work with. The first day he ran he ran against Arizona Blaze and on his second run as a two-year-old Joe Murphy beat me with Cercene. So two Group 1 winners beat him on his two runs. He came out and won a six furlong maiden and then he was beaten by a very good horse of Paddy Twomey’s in Cork (Currawood). Then I ran him over six and it was far too short for him. I’d say a mile would suit him even better, he said he was waiting for them there in front. He’s in the sales because I own him in partnership with Ballylinch. I don’t know if he’ll run again before that, he might. He’s a very nice horse and there is a lot of racing in him. You love to have him, he’s a real nice horse and I’d say he can still go on quite a bit.

Subsonic makes all to win Curragh nightcap for Murtagh

It was very important for her to win. I think she was a little bit unlucky the last time, she got in a bit of traffic and Ben said he never really got her out. She’s a good cruiser, a good galloper, and we always thought a lot of her. I maybe rushed her a little bit early in the year and then we took a big shot at the Oaks. It’s nice to get her maiden win, and speaking to Maurice, he thinks we’re going to keep her in training for next year. She’s a huge filly so I think she can only improve with another year under her belt. It’s testing ground and they came at her early so he said she was getting a bit tired as well. I think there is a big engine in there. As Ben says, if she can develop up into her size we feel she is a stakes filly.
