Court Canyon off the mark on first start over hurdles
Queenofthelodge books Cheltenham November-ticket
I’d say she had too much of it at Killarney when she never rose a gallop but is back to herself now. She has been working well so we were expecting a good run and we’re delighted. Farrier Dan Breen, who bred her, heads the syndicate and the lads are all local. Dan bred some good horses including Maries Rock and this mare has a good pedigree too, so I’d say he’ll breed off her in time. There is a race for her at the November meeting in Cheltenham so should go for that, although she wouldn’t want the ground any softer that today.
Cawley's Hope Flies in again under Fitzgerald
We had to run as she 3lb well-in and if she hasn't come out of her Roscommon race, we wouldn't have come but everything was A1 and she delivered again. The way we looked at it, we had nothing to lose by coming and we can now look and see what rating we get. She has won twice and that is great. At Roscommon she got a freebie out in front, nothing took her on and even today she idled when she was in front. She is doing great, she is a five-year-old and you'd like to think she could go again. We only have a handful of horses and Shane (Fitzgerald) is a good friend to myself and Paul (brother) and is up and down to us the whole time.
Tiny mare gives Curling a Clonmel double
Willie (Cleary, owner) bred her, so this is job done. She is a tiny little thing, she’s only 15 hands, and I’d say that could have been her day. She had an ok run in Ballinrobe but ran no race the last day in Wexford, so we were clutching at straws today and just rode her to run well. I’d say she enjoyed that ground.

Spellacy's Cross lands the Clonmel nightcap for Barcoe
He deserved that as he had never done anything wrong, is a lovely mannered horse and we are lucky to have him. I took a chance in buying him (for 3,000gns last September) as he had a grand run one day, is a well-bred horse and it is nice to get one like him for that sort of money. He also has a nice mark over hurdles. He is jointly-owned by an American man John O'Neill whose daughter Claire is here today.
