Steps shows a Lethal change of gear

I didn't think he had got up. I would have been equally happy with a positive run and finishing second. Getting up on the line was a bonus,. He's a horse that we said we'd run over a shorter trip and we like to do that. Seven is going to be his trip. I thought it was a lovely introduction and that he'll have learned plenty and improve plenty. You can see by him that physically and mentally he's just coming. It will be all ahead of him over seven furlongs hopefully. He does hold a couple of early closing entries and is a horse we've always liked. Jimmy (Murphy) said he hasn't had many winners in those colours and it's nice that he's given us a horse to train as I love getting them off the breezer outfits. I have him since November training him. He either didn't sell him or decided not to sell.

Easy to see why Halford likes Petticoat

We liked her at two and she had a very good run at the Curragh but as you can see from the size of her she's a tall girl and it took her time to come to hand. I'm delighted with her,.

Flight Risk dazzles in Ballycorus

We always knew there was a big performance in this horse and there is probably better to come on days when everything goes right for him,. That's the first time he's run well on that good ground and maybe he's hardening up. I'd say he could go a mile and he's even run well over six.

Poitin does Clarke and Downey another favour

Great result. She's a very smart filly, probably one of the best fillies I've had, and that's her sixth win for me,. She was just treated a bit better on the turf than she was on the all-weather. Normally March time is her prime time to win but I had just been hitting walls with her and things weren't going right. I wasn't even confident of running a big race tonight I was just searching for some kind of spark back in her. Robbie seems to get a little spark out of her and she runs well for him. A lot of credit and praise has to go to Kenny McCrossan who looks after her every day. He does a great job with her and makes my job very easy. Where we go now I don't know because today was just about getting the run out the way and see where we are.

Trump continues to make the news

I don't know what's happening but I won't question it too much!.

Drama to conclude but Memphis on top

I'm so happy for that horse as he's the most genuine horse I know,. He loves to gallop but hates to jump. Even though he's a bad jumper he won a hurdle as he gets over them. I said I'd love to try him on the Flat as he travels so well and stays and he won two bumpers easily. There was no suitable hurdles so we said we'd give it a go and I'm very happy.
