Bella Scintilla makes winning debut for O'Brien
Buttons And Bows records narrow Killarney success
Second win for Toss Again
Hourigan's Rascal continues Winning run
he had to be tough and was tough. The last jump helped him a lot as he flew it and the other horse fluffed it. He might have a break now as I don't think he wants soft ground and was feeling the pinch a little today. You'd imagine he is well handicapped over fences rated 87.
Quirke rides first winner for Rothwell
that's my first winner for Philip who he has been good to me and given me plenty rides this season. His horses are flying it and are in top shape. He had a good run in Wexford two runs ago and Philip thought if he was in good form would have a good chance today. He jumped away brilliantly everywhere, we knew there'd be plenty pace and while I was hoping I'd have something to bring me to the last, but unfortunately Jack Holiday fell and he was left in front a bit soon. He is a good honest horse though and got the job done.
Sanibel Island completes Hourigan double at Killarney
Tom (Doran, previous owner) was finished with the horse and gave him to me. He was rated 127 at one stage and I thought if I couldn't turn him around I'd retire! He is only rated 70 and should have won at Sligo but wouldn't put his head out. He's not a bad horse and is a winter horse. Touch Of Oscar ran well, having not run his race in Listowel and he'll get his day.
Easy for Final Orders in Beginners Chase
Joe gets her Way in Killarney finale
using different tactics helped and her experience helped. She has been consistent over fences and we'll look for another handicap chase. The softer the ground the better she will be.
