Derrylinda wins Cork's opener
Grand Soir starting to justify price tag
L'or Des Roses wins well for Harvey family
Champagne Auction a 40/1 corker
I got him at the end of May, he was doing all the right things at home but it was hard to fancy him on his form. I was hopeful of a good run and he'll go for something similar now. The owner Joe Taylor is a friend of Eoin Barry, who I have horses for, and both are in construction in Boston. Joe has a few horses with me now and I'm delighted for him.
Idas Boy wins on chase debut
it was a nice starting point, he schooled very well at home and was very good the other morning so we were confident. I didn't want to give Darragh (O'Keeffe, on Caesar Rock) too much of a lead because he has summer form and it was a tough one to gauge but he did what we expected. We always knew when he gets a fence he would be much better and can go up in trip as well. There are plenty options, he is going the right direction and I'd say he'll be higher rated over fences than hurdles — whatever route that takes him. He doesn't want it too testing. I'm very busy at present, am getting plenty opportunities from Noel (Meade), Matthew Smith and I'm picking up plenty spares for Willie Mullins. I'm busy and enjoying it.
Final Orders outjumps rivals
I wanted to make use of him as he stays three miles well. I left him bowl away, used his jumping and he jumped well apart from a few little mistakes. They are probably the biggest fences he has jumped but he has loads of scope.
Fan De Blues lands Cork feature
I was very disappointed with his jumping and at halfway I thought he was gone but when Danny grabbed ahold of him and gave him a squeeze, giving him a lot of assistance, he was way better. Maybe the other horses were summer types who didn't go on that ground. At the moment I'll keep him going and will keep him to that trip, which seems to suit him better. I'll keep him to small runner races as I'm not sure he likes big fields. Danny is a fantastic guy to have around the place and is all the time willing to school and willing to do anything. He is having a great season and is riding so well at the moment.
