Red Autumn overturns debut form to land maiden success

Whelan times it just right to win on Oiche Rua

They did go quick. She ran too bad to be true the last day in Cork and couldn't find out what it was. I wasn't going to declare her, but I said to Alex (Zevenbergen, owner) we would declare her and see where we go. She was drawn wide and I just said to Ronan 'they could go hard here and try to pick up the pieces'. That's exactly what he did and she came home really, really well, so I was very happy. Hopefully, he (handicapper) will give her a chance and I think she will be better on nicer ground.

Exceeding tastes success for first time

He was steadily improving and physically he has improved since last year. He does promise more at home than what he delivers, he promises a lot more but it is great he got his head in front. He's had two good runs in his first two runs this year, so hopefully he can improve and win another little race like that.

Steps In The Sand scores her first Flat win on turf

He gave her a lovely straightforward ride and sort of got the run of the race. I'm delighted with her. Shane Foley rode her the last day and came out beforehand and gave him a really good briefing. It was a real warm day the last day in Down Royal, and she sort of boiled over, and she didn't really run her race. No, not at all (not ungenuine) - just at that sort of level, sometimes if everything doesn't go right for a horse it is hard for them. We'll try and pick something similar again from a mile and six to two miles, and the same grade if we can. Hopefully, she will go in in another one and she has the option over hurdles. She should be able to pick up one of those as well.
