Long Gone records popular local success for Queally
We took a bit of a risk running her back over two miles, but the race was worth €15,000 and as we are only down the road, we said we'd take our chance. I told Alex before hand to give her a nice aggressive ride, she has plenty of experience. She was the only winner in the field, I won a bumper on her at Limerick last year. Ideally she wants two miles four to two five. We had a bit of luck with the horses coming down two out, but the riders and horses are up and that's the main thing. It's great to pick up the €5,000 bonus as well. I'm delighted for her owners John Bates and his son Gilmer, they are great supporters of the yard. Chris Shanahan (course foreman) deserves plenty of credit for the condition of the ground. It's back to yielding and that's what the riders want, safe ground.

That was lovely. She was in season when third at Wexford and we probably shouldn’t have brought her to the north then. That was a weak race, and I was told by mentors to keep yourself in the best company and your horses in the worst!. She is owned by Michael Fanning who is a neighbour of mine and I’m delighted for him.

We were worried about the break, as he hadn't ran in a few months. We ran Itsalonglongroad in Limerick a few weeks ago after a break and he ran very well, so we thought this fella might be up for it today. Shane said he blew up at the top of the hill on the second circuit, but he filled him up again. Shane rides a lot for us and does well for us. He made a mistake at the second last but came back well from it and we're delighted.
