Point impresses in making winning Irish debut

he did it very well and obviously had form on heavy ground in France. He did it really professionally and Davy is very happy with him. There is plenty to improve on and it is his first run in a while so he'll improve mentally and physically for it. You'd have to be impressed with it. It is lovely for Robcour to have another nice horse; they had Absolute Notions yesterday and him today so they have some good new recruits going into the winter months.

Ney defies top weight in Cork handicap

I trained his dam (Gallope) who was a very good racemare and was a character. It is wonderful to breed from her and get a really nice horse. He is owned by Charlie O'Reilly who can't be here today, which is pity as he is such an enthusiast. Charlie really wants to go jumping fences and we will, but will stay hurdling for now. He won well, is a very genuine decent jumper and is a just a decent horse. It's lovely to have a horse like that.

Fitzgerald returns from injury with Cork winner

It is great to get back and get the ball rolling again. Monishter Are Mwee is my only horse in training at the moment and I have great help from a neighbouring trainer Margaret Flynn, who is invaluable to me. We go to Curramore gallop three or four times a week and she brings horses to tow me along. She will improve some amount and will go to Limerick at Christmas for a mares' Grade 2 chase. My husband farms and this is a hobby at the moment but I'd to have five or six horses to train.

Big Debates lands the lucky last for Tyner and Enright

when we announced last year that we were packing up training, I offered him to a lot of trainers in England but no one wanted him - I don't know why, maybe it was his age but I told them he'd win nice races, even over hurdles. Philip gave him a great ride no doubt, I wasn't convinced he was doing the right thing up the back straight but he left him at it. He had a long season last year and was going a long time before pulling up on goodish ground at Fairyhouse (in April). Philip thinks he should stick to 2m to 2m4f. we are keeping going with 10 or 12 horses and some of them are point to pointers. There were a few not sold and I said I'd keep going with a few ourselves. You wouldn't know how long we'd stay going but it will be with small numbers, only what we can do ourselves.
