Romany Brown rallies close home to win for Doyle family
Going to the second-last I thought I was in trouble but when the other horse (Wholelotofbusiness) didn't get away from me, he just kept sticking his head out. He is probably better going right-handed as he lugged out with me the whole way but was good and tough. He had been keen in his bumpers but settled well today and I think he will stay further. Our horses have been in great form all year and Martin (Dwyer, owner) is my father-in-law so this is great.
Breakthrough win for trainer Budds in May
today was the plan as she is a proper summer mare. Her owners Barbara and Edmond Coleman bred Lord Windermere (Gold Cup winner) and It Came To Pass (Foxhunters), so are big breeders and the more black-type she gets, the better. She struggled on the ground but toughed it out well. She is a real good-ground mare and we decided to race ‘down the paint’ early but Darragh said she was struggling and decided to come wide turning in. He said the minute she hit the good ground and from the second-last, he knew she’d catch the leader (Royal Hollow). She could go chasing and can also go back to the Flat.

McManus wins Killarney chase but also loses horse
it was a bummer to lose the mare and she was running well when she fell. The winner was nice and jumped lovely. It was nice to see her do that as she had a few disappointing runs earlier this year. She will tip away for the summer.

His dam won this bumper (in 2015) and Marine Nationale, who is his uncle, also won a bumper here. He is a very nice horse and it is his first time on grass. The band playing near the parade ring got him revved beforehand but he is a very talented horse and will be sold now I'd say. We've liked everything he has done and his dam was a good mare, but got hurt. It is a great family.
