Josh's Joy gets off the mark under Ryan
White smoke for Chicago Pope in Naas
We were a little bit disappointed with him the last time in the Goffs Million. There were 30 runners and he was in (the stalls) a long time and missed the kick. You could put a line through the first half of the race, but he finished well. I thought dropping him back to six here, because he ran well here before, and put the cheekpieces on him. Ben said he pinged the gates and travelled really well. He got a bit lonely in front but he always felt like he was holding them going to the line. He’ll be a nice sprinter next year.

Onemoredance caps off memorable campaign with 33/1 Listed win
I can’t say enough about this filly. She’s improved so much during the year. She was tricky at the start of the year, and you have to humour her, but she’s really got into the racing zone and built up lovely through the ranks. I thought she ran well on Champions Weekend but they went a bit quick in front and horses came from the back to win it. She had a lovely draw today and he rode her beautifully and got a lovely run through. She quickened up well. She’s tough, hardy and loves her racing. It’s her fifth win of the year. She’s in the December mare sale and it’s a great way for her to go. The lads get a great kick out of it. Ciaran (Kilkenny, All-Ireland winning footballer with Dublin) loves it and it’s a bit of a release for him. He’s got a few of his friends involved and they love coming to the races. They are after getting a great ride with this one. She has been very lucky for them.
Another boilover in second Listed contest at Naas
She just hasn’t had the ground all summer. When we stepped her up in trip she ran well in Gowran the last day staying on. . Colin gave her a very cool ride.

She stayed the trip well. I also entered her in the apprentice race here and it was deciding then on what the options were for jockeys. We got Wayne for this race off bottom weight, so we said we’d take our chance.
