Skydance grabs maiden success on return
She’s a highly rated filly so I’m delighted to get the win,. I was a little bit worried about the ground, whether it would be okay for her, because to me she needs good ground. She’s a very easy moving filly. They did a great job with the ground here and there was a nice bit of drying. She raced on her own there and I was very happy with her. She hit the line very well so you wouldn’t be worried about the mile now. I was a little bit worried about it but not after that. We’ll think high with her and then see where we aim then.
All systems go for Launch Time
I’m very happy with him. He was placed last year and I thought the cheekpieces might work,. He didn’t like Dundalk so we just kept him for the turf. Hopefully he’ll win another one, I’m delighted to get that. . We had three winners in Dundalk and that’s our first on the grass. We only have half a dozen to run and hopefully we can get more. . He won’t go up much for that. I think there is a 0-60 in Cork for him and we’ll see how he is.
Harrington off the mark on turf with Muse
She took a while last year to get going and get her mind the right way,. She came on last autumn, she won and then had a good run. She didn’t grow much over the winter but she strengthened up a lot. She likes that sort of ground, no extremes. I don’t think she’d go on firm or very heavy. She could turn up again on Wednesday, we’ll see how she is. I think she’ll definitely progress as a four-year-old.
Stack's colt enters Classic equation after Group 3 win
He did it well. He was a bit unlucky in Canada the last day that he wasn’t a bit closer. He’s in everything so we’ll have a chat and see where we go. He stays well,. He’s been working well. He ran a good race at Ascot last year and he won that race in Tipperary well, he beat a horse (Brussels) that was second in the Middle Park, so he has a fair level of form.
