Bowen shines again on Jar
On the bend turning in I thought we’d sit and suffer and take our chances, but the jockey knew better and it all worked out. I’d hope that he’ll make a chaser in time. He’s a typical Walk In The Park who can be on edge until he gets cantering and then he’s very straight forward. Sean has ridden for us a few times in England before.
Tonnerre strikes late to give raiders another winner
Busselton brave to land La Touche
Crack hurdlers poised for eagerly-awaited Punchestown ‘decider’
Constitution Hill arrived last night and with him it wouldn’t matter where he was. It just doesn’t bother him one dot. If he got flustered, I’d be worried!. He’s in good form and it will be a fascinating race and it is a decider between three of them really, and there’s three others in the race as well.
Slevin and O'Brien double up with 33/1 Sunshine
Majborough much too strong for Barberstown rivals
He jumped today like we know he can jump. For some reason things didn’t go right for him in Cheltenham but he’s redeemed himself today. He’s a huge, big horse but he’s very light framed and is an athlete every time you look at him. Looking at him in the parade ring today, there wasn’t one ounce of spare flesh on him, and I couldn’t have galloped him one more time. He’s only five and hopefully he’ll mature this summer. I’m looking forward to what he could mature into over the next 18 months or two years. What he did there you are looking at the Champion Chase, but he has enough pedigree to stay a trip.
Teahupoo takes Champion Stayers again
This horse has got me out of trouble a few times and he’s done it again. He’s a star of a horse. I was panicking turning in to be honest. If we had a couple of winners, I’d have had my chest out. He’s so laidback at home and you nearly start questioning yourself ‘is he a bit heavy going around the ring’. Sam gave him a no-nonsense ride and kept it very straight forward. I’m very lucky to have the riders I have, the staff I have and the owners. I was dreaming last night if Teahupoo could win today and Meath could win the Leinster Final it would finish off what has been a rough season to be a great season.
