Kelly & King win with Louie

He was unlucky not to have won at this festival last year when he missed the last hurdle,. Today was the plan and going on the inside is a big help to a horse like him, so Dan gave him a great ride. It is unfortunate for Cian (Quirke) to miss out as he is out injured. He had been slow coming to himself this year but when he starts to bolt with you at home, that's a sign he is back. He goes to the start early. He defied his penalty and the handicapper might leave him on the same mark, so we'll see. He is owned by (Galway Hurdle-winning owner) Ray Grehan's son Bryan and Gerry Hughes, who is a foreman in their building company.

Ina Mina mining dough

Ina Mina had previously won here on the Flat by 15 lengths, so the course suits her. I thought she was well handicapped at Cork but I wasn’t sure about her form. She did it very well again today, so you’d be very happy with her. We’ll mix between hurdling and Flat for the summer now and it is great for the syndicate. There are 30 in it, we’ve had great luck together and we’ve won with most of our horses. It is a brilliant idea, the syndicate are patient and for handy money, they get a great kick out of it.

Lena wins on first start over hurdles

We have her leased from Jamie Codd and she is probably the smallest in the yard, but we took a chance with her as she is by Flemensfirth and they're not making any more of them. She is tough and hardy, and I think the lighter weight is a big help to her, compared to her bumper runs. She travelled strongly, jumped well and you could even go up further in trip. . She has plenty of ability, we could end up in Listowel and hopefully she will win again. Aubrey McMahon does a great job running Temple Bloodstock and they're having a lot of success. He buys some of their horses, leases others and I couldn't recommend Aubrey highly enough, as he works hard and is very likeable.

La Notre Verte leads home Mullins 1-2-3

A Snow White Park scores readily for Mags & Danny

It was a great ride and we've had great fun with the mare, as she runs well most days,. I don't give Danny any instructions, he does his own thing and he knows the mare. She wants top of the ground and gets lost when it goes soft. She loved it today and we'll see where we go now. There are mares' chases for her and she has the option of going back hurdling as well.

First chase win for Kingdom Calling

He jumped to the stable yard at the second-last, but he actually likes this track,. I'm delighted for the lads (Killarney Racing Syndicate) who stuck with him as it has been a frustrating time since he won his maiden hurdle.

Seven wins for Willie at Tramore's August festival

She is a nice filly and it might be best to go jumping now, but I'll discuss with Patrick and see what he would like to do,. It has been a great week, the horses have just come right and I'm looking forward to the rest of the autumn.
