the 2m2f trip was a bit short for Seepeeoh, she needs 2m4f to 2m6f, and that was why we made the running with her. I won a point to point and a bumper on her.
Invader comes to bookies' aid
Paul (Townend) gave Irish Invader a super ride, took the initiative from the start and jumped from fence to fence.
El Jo has been a little unlucky to have won just two races and is definately a better horse when fresh. He won't run next until St Patrick's Day at the earliest.
Nolan's Clan Tara lands Thurles feature
we had to decide beforehand whether to ride Clan Tara positively or drop him in and it eventually worked out well.
I was a bit disappointed with his run at Navan the last day but he seems to want to get right-handed. I thought he'd improve a bit today although I wasn't sure he was capable of giving 8lbs to the favourite.
Mullins/Townend double up at Thurles
Jessies Dream did it well and will run in a novice hurdle soon before going to Fairyhouse. He jumps well and I wouldn't be afraid to step him up in trip.
One To Many is a grand, genuine horse and we'll go to Fairyhouse for a graded hurdle next. If he wins we might go chasing next season but if not, he'll make a nice novice hurdler next season.
