McConnell and Harvey fire in another through Wonderfulwonderful
Red-hot Harvey grabs a double via Spy
He was in off a nice weight and the watered ground is a plus to him at this stage. Alex gave him a beautiful ride and was probably lucky he wasn't brought down (by Miss Fourie), but our horse looked to have them all covered at the time. He wasn't highly-enough rated to win a maiden hurdle and, generally, this grade of horse doesn't get into these handicaps and it was a good pot to win. There has been a lot of racing lately, so they're breaking up a bit and thank God he got in. It is great for the owners (With My Little Eye Syndicate) who have stuck with him and have just rewards.
Keep Up makes all for comfortable Killarney success
What's Up Darling relishes every yard in Killarney
I thought the horse was in trouble at one stage, but Jack gave him a great ride and I'm delighted. I'd say he wants a trip and he'll be aimed at all those long-distance races. It is great to see Sam Maguire here along with Gavin (White, Kerry captain), and what a man he is, so it is great to be here and to win this race.
A Nod To Getaway and O'Keeffe a winning tandem
If he jumped better in Wexford the last day, he could possibly have won (fourth) and we thought he improved from that run. Hopefully, he can get another one now. Darragh is Darragh and is good. He goes everywhere and comes and helps me out when he can too. Any time he is around, he'll give a hand and is very good that way. I saw the Sam Maguire here earlier today and my old manager Conor Counihan as well, so it was great. Cork (footballers) are on a slow road back but are on the right road, so maybe we'll meet again in another few years.
Dynamite delivers as part of McNamara’s treble
Embittered gives McNamara a 1,379/1 across-the-card treble
Parnell Street another bumper winner for Slattery
He is a nice horse. Things went a bit wrong for him in Galway (fourth) as he got too far back and, while we were confident coming here, we didn't know about the rest (newcomers). He is unbelievable over a fence although he might go for a winners' bumper first. We generally aren't bumper-minded although he is the sixth winner we've had recently from eight or ten such horses. Pat (Morrissey, joint-owner) bred, reared and pre-trained this horse, so did the whole lot.
