Velozee lunges late to win three-way photo at Cork

She is a nice filly who was ready to start today. I think if she won, that she is nice and she has done that. I didn't think about the ground and it is the same for all of them, who were having their first runs. She has won her maiden on debut and the First Flier (Curragh, early May) is an obvious race in a month's time. Gary Matthews, a solicitor from Newry, is a new owner to the yard and is from the coursing world and his dad Brendan is champion trainer in Clonmel every year.

Oh Cecelia gains compensation on quick turnaround

She is going in the right direction and after running yesterday, it was lovely that she pulled out well and did that today. Fortune favours the brave and I told David (Kelly) that she was an inspired purchase by him (for £9,000 in January), so it is all down to him. She lost her good early pitch yesterday and didn't get a run when she needed it, and flashed home a bit. She had a walk yesterday at 4pm, ate up overnight and showed her well-being to me so she was good to go. Billy said she liked racing in isolation and today is another step forward. I 'd imagine she'll get a hike for winning today and I think we'll have a go at the Polonia Stakes in early-May now.

Queen Mary-fourth claims Cork maiden success

she hurt her knee in Naas last July so that’s why she was out until now. She was a real two-year-old but has won now, so we’ll see how she gets on. I don’t thing she really wants that soft ground but probably needs some ease as he has been compromised (with her prior injury). She ran a good race in the Queen Mary last year but won’t get any further than five furlongs. We’ll see how she is now and look for blacktype.

Keane wins Cork Listed race on Navassa Island

She really deserved to win a stakes race and had finished second in a Group 3 on her first ever run as a two-year-old. She went to Ascot then and got jarred up and since then, has been placed six times in stakes company. It is great for her owners who have persevered and given us another go again this year and we had her ready today, knowing she would have her ideal conditions. Colin (Keane) said we can go anywhere with her on heavy ground. She will have a spring and autumn campaign and will get a break when the ground starts to tighten up, so we'll target some nice races.

Listed double for Keane as Moody wins Noblesse Stakes

She is a nice filly, it is great for connections and this is the first horse I've had for him. She had two runs in France, looked to have a positive profile and the operation she came from sell them when they are three-year-olds and it has been a lucky source for us.

No Empty Wallets for Keane followers after Cork treble

I'm delighted for Sean (Jones) and his kids as, while they are playing football today in Monaghan, he'll get a kick out of this. His two boys James and Eddie are now students and they're taking a big interest in the horses. They are form-gurus, so they're taking a real interest and are the next generation coming through. The horse had been working well and we aren't shocked that he won, but we had a concern about the ground.
