Pisiffik Ginger wins Leopardstown's opener
she did that great. I was a little bit worried about the ground but when he (Foley) got her out onto the better ground on this side of the straight, he said she picked up well. She stayed well.
Quay conquers to give Harrington and Foley doubles
Cromac Quay never ran last year, as we gave her the time and she bumped into two quite good fillies, I think, on her first two runs. The last day, when she got beaten by Jim Bolger’s filly (Sparan Nua), she pulled off a shoe so there was an excuse as to why she kept going up and down in the last furlong. Today she showed she had the acceleration and it's nice to have one like her. She did that well. She's in the Brownstown Stakes (Listed) here, so she'll probably go there next and I also put her in the Group 2 at the Curragh on Oaks day.
Hogan's hero Meriden completes hat-trick under Sheridan
'I love Leopardstown!' - visiting trainer bags the Ballycorus
I love Leopardstown! . I couldn't understand why he ran so badly at Naas the last day but he came back with a dirty scope afterwards. To be honest, that's one of the reasons why I wanted to come over to see for myself how he was, and I thought he looked great saddling him up. He loves this soft ground and in these conditions, he is a proper Group 3 type of horse. Seven furlongs is a perfect trip but he stays a mile. We'll just keep campaigning him away wherever the heavy ground comes.
Murtagh on the mark for Australian owners
Abbey Actress deserves that, it was a perfect race and she loves soft ground. We recently tried to get black-type with her and I think, one day, her heart might get her a stakes-placing. When she hits the front, she pricks her ears but she is all heart, tries really hard and deserved that today.
Mulvany and Joyce warm up for Royal Ascot
Electric Beauty a lovely filly and in those kind of conditions, she is hard to beat. I looked at the course-conditions last week and said if it turns up (soft) like that next week, we'll be here. She'll sneak in now at the bottom of the handicap in the Galway Mile, so that's probably where she'll pop up next. She's after having a hard season so far so we'll give her a little break to freshen her up first.
Scott secures a first Leopardstown success
the horse deserved it as he’s so tough. It's only this year he has come to himself as he has had niggles and little issues, but hopefully we have sorted those out. Bill said he got there too soon but that he battled on well. He'll be out of the (0-60) grade now but if we get a run in Galway, happy days. He can go up to 1m4f as well, so he's versatile trip-wise.
