Spinning Web reels in the leaders

he was a little bit silly on the Flat and I think the hurdles have woken him up. His last run on the Flat at Gowran wasn't too bad and he took a minute to catch on to it today but once he did, adapted very quickly. Hopefully through the rough-and-tumble of a hurdle race, that will have him brave enough to win on the Flat.

A long way to Tipperary as Sexton steers first winner

I had some very good horses, had lots of winners but gave up training for 10 years and we moved to Australia. We came home two weeks before the lockdown and one of the reasons was Harry wanted to have a go at being a jockey. He had always been listening to these stories and watching DVDs and videos of our horses running. We can only train what we have and I have to thank Marc (Salmon) who has stuck with me when others deserted. He has three horses with me, we're looking for a couple more and if it wasn't for good owners I'd be finished. Harry also rides out for Peter Fahey and my son Darragh and Harry's friend Conor Lammon all help in the yard.

Doyen delivers with easy Tipperary win

I didn't think we'd have to wait this long to win over hurdles and it is long overdue. Things didn't work out for him last season, he was second in a good few maiden hurdles, ran in some competitive races and ended up having a hard season. Things didn't work out in a valuable handicap at Fairyhouse and he came back wrong but the time off freshened him up. He is keen and forward-going but enjoyed tipping away in front today. He'll go to Galway for a hurdle next and then we'll see what happens but he might head on over fences afterwards.

Watch The Weather storms clear under Blackmore

he had been doing everything really well at home last year but since he ran last, we got his palate fired. At home recently he wouldn't blow you away with how he was going and I said to Rachael that he'd either win or run brutal. The last day Rachael rode him she said he stopped under her and while he scoped perfectly, obviously the operation was what he wanted. He is back the way he should be - he is a very good horse when he is right, he is a really good horse. He will get a fair penalty for that and the plan is now to go to Galway. What he will eventually make is a right chaser as he is brilliant to jump.

No sweat in the race for Walk In Time

She was keen today but didn't go at all the last day,. Fair play to Denis (O'Regan), he gave her a great ride the last day when she got shell-shocked. She was grand and settled before today's race but during the race was really on it. She was highly strung in her early days but is grand and is a nice mare who is well handicapped. . She was up in distance and is from a great family.  I'm delighted for John O'Dwyer who owns her and bred Rock On Ruby. John lives a field away from John Nallen (point-to-point handler) so Champion Hurdle, Gold Cup and Grand National winners all came from that area of Tipperary.

Crooked Tannie trounces bumper rivals

we've always thought a lot of him but things didn't work out great the first two runs. Patrick kept it simple today and he did it very easily. He is a big raw four-year-old and I'd say he'll grow into a nice horse next year. He is learning his job the whole time, I never really rushed him and Patrick was very happy with him and thinks he will develop into a nice horse. We're not sure what to do with him now but he might have a break and go over hurdles.
