Alma Libre gains deserved success

She was due a win as she had hit the crossbar a few times last year,. We were hopeful today, the ground was lovely for her and everything looked perfect. Danny gave her a good ride, he was able to judge the pace perfectly and kicked on whenever he needed to. We had this race in mind as we're aiming to run her in the apprentice derby at the Curragh (second last year) over a mile-and-a-half. We think she'll get that trip okay on nice ground. That's the target this year and this is a nice win under her belt. She's a genuine filly, she tries hard every time. She's a very sweet filly at home as well, very easy to deal with. We're delighted she finally got her head in front.

Lupini doubles up with Cool

He's a big, strong, powerful horse. Today he kept galloping to the line and Wayne said he wasn't stopping and he thinks there is more to come from him,. Obviously he had a bit of a bad day at Naas in the Group 3, things just didn't work out for him but we still believe he is a nice horse for the future. The horse that won in Gowran the time before went on to win again for Sheila (Lavery) in Naas so the form was well franked. We'll see what the handicapper does with him but we still believe he is a nice horse for the future. Hopefully we can step him up in grade.

Coen stars on Jackie Brown

The jockey knew her well from last year and gave her a brilliant ride. It's great for the lads (Starglazing Ltd), they are local to me and it's lovely to win at their local track for them. She had a good run the last day and it couldn't have worked out better. We'll tiddle away and see what happens.
