Dairy Force gets his due reward for consistency

Tullyveery back in winners' enclosure with claiming success

It might be only a claimer but for the owners it’s like winning a big race,. His days are nearly numbered, he’s ten and he’s not as good as he was. To get him to win another race is great. He’s been in the yard for years and anything he does from now on will be a bonus. I’m thrilled for the lads, it’s brilliant. He’s in at Tramore next Thursday and if he’s not claimed he’ll probably go there again. He was in for small money but he was meeting horses fairly wrong today on ratings. At the same time I was hoping he’d be thereabouts as he always runs his race.

Rewarding week for Mags and Danny Mullins

Another Mullins hits the target at Clonmel

We persisted and now it has paid off,. I stuck a tongue-tie on her and said it would maybe help her concentrate a bit more, maybe that worked — I’m not sure. She had been coming into good form compared to what she had been in. We’ll keep the tongue-tie on anyway until it stops working. She’s rated 85 over fences as well. She’s in, over fences, at Galway on Tuesday and we might run there. We’ll keep tipping away until she trains off and then I’ll say goodbye to her.

Kirova collects in style

It was a very moderate race but we got through it,. He ran well to finish third the last day and was kind of entitled to win today. We’ll get another run into him before the ground changes, he mightn’t like deep ground. There will be something coming up for him, maybe back here.

Step up in trip works out well for Hogan's Hero

He’s always been a nice horse, but it took him a while to mature,. Even when he hit the front there, he lost his concentration a bit jumping. He can jump very well, but he fluffed the last two. He’s a horse with a lot of ability, it was just about getting his mind right and getting him going. It’s taken a long time. Darren and John at home have done a great job with him, because he started off being a very free horse. There are a wonderful bunch of lads ((Cool Out Again Syndicate) in him and I’m delighted for them. He’ll jump fences and he’s a nice horse. He wants good ground but he’ll go on loose, soft, ground but not on heavy ground. He has too much speed for heavy ground.
