Amanha's win echoes much further than Tramore
Paddy said she dived at the first a bit but after that then she got into a nice rhythm and they went a nice gallop and her jumping improved the further she went. She's a good mare and she's a big mare, so jumping is probably her game,.
Austin silks get another successful airing
That was great. She was unlucky here before, she just got to the front and pulled herself up a bit. She had a nice run the last day in Sligo and she seemed to come on from that,.
Plan comes to fruition with Kyle Valley
She won two point-to-points for Sean Osborne, one of my best friends. Micheal (Doyle, owner, with his wife Caroline) was involved with her at that stage and they sent her my way. She struggled over hurdles and she's ordinary, it's no secret. I told her owners that if we ran in four handicap hurdles, that she could run over fences off her hurdles rating. She had experience from point-to-pointing. She went up 3lb for being second in Kilbeggan and Tiernan claimed 5lb off her today, so she was 2lb lighter over fences, off her hurdles mark. It looked expensive at the time going through handicap hurdles but now she's competitive at both. She looked really well in the parade ring today and the lads at home have done a really good job with her. She looked a million dollars. It was the plan to go out in front. She had a very light weight, in a very ordinary chase around the bends here and with loads of jumping experience. I'm delighted she has won. Micheal is a great supporter and is involved in another horse with Lar Byrne. It's lovely to get a winner for him. The horses are running really well and I have very good team at home making it happen.
Gainford doubles up at Tramore
Odds-on May Call You Back delivers with ease
She won on her first start for us and then disappointed here in August. We gave her a break after that and she's back now. She'll mix it over hurdles and fences. It's great for her owner Pauline (Carroll). She is a good fun mare.
Mullins one two and brace completed for Closutton
It was great and a super finish. Sean O'Keeffe was brilliant on Sunset Boulevard, he got a great jump at the last. I thought Ellis Mor was coming to beat him, but he toughed it out. I think he is a horse that will improve the further he goes and probably over fences as well,. The runner-up is a horse that will improve going forward and again for fences. Both owners will have plenty of fun in the months ahead.
Sweeney and Ryan the men to follow in Tramore bumper again
It was an impressive run the last day and she came forward from it a good bit. Her work at home was good there the last week or fortnight. Adam said she struggled to handle the track. He just kept out a bit with her but she found it tight. Hopefully she'll be alright in the morning,.
