Edergole's Angel another for Telford-Kelly and McCreery
I was very disappointed with this one the last day in Gowran, I thought she travelled beautifully into the race with Billy (Lee). I thought she didn't go through with it so we asked the owner, Pat Keegan (Chapelrock Ventures Ltd), would it be possible to put Megan on him because at home she really goes for her. He said yes and to work away. I'm delighted she won for him, it is his first horse with me. Lovely man and he loves his racing. He was here actually the last day she ran when she was third, but he couldn't get over (today) as he's in Spain. I'm delighted for him. It is important because there is a half-sister going to the sales in November.

He won here last year. He was (trainer filling her with confidence) - he said he might need the run, but he said to see how he goes. He's an old enough horse and he knows his job. He did (dig deep) and he stuck it right out to the line, so he's a good honest horse.

Idomything comes good on second start for Tom Cleary
The race in Roscommon we were delighted with her. We only got her after she ran over hurdles in Ballinrobe, I got her that evening on the way home. We didn't have a whole lot to do with her, Rory is in Cormac's (Farrell, former trainer) and he had a lot done with her. She ran very well for me in Roscommon and I was delighted, so really fancied her coming here today because she was going very well at home. She settled at home and the same here. She was gamey, she's in good form. I have her in for next week in Thurles and we'll see how she is. We won't rush her back either because she gives it all. The grandson there, James, it is good for him as he took the day off school. He does everything with her at home, so I'm delighted for him. Won in my wife's colours, unfortunately she couldn't be here today as she had to work - somebody has to bring in a few bob!
Spanish John makes quick reappearance to score at Bellewstown
He was at his ease all through the race and enjoyed it, plenty of room you see, and the ground was a big help to him. He got it (ground) in Clonmel, but two miles probably too far on that ground, but a mile and a-half on soft (suits). Third in Roscommon, but he had been running well. Nearly all the times he has been trying and staying on. It was just to get it together, get the win.
