Spinning Web brings up his third victory, all in different spheres

I'm delighted for Jerry Ahern, who is involved in the syndicate, (he) is one of our local vets and is a gentleman. He is a consistent old horse and better ground helps, even though they had it watered well. Danny (Mullins) had choice and while he ran well (on sixth-placed Colonel Nelson), just faded and maybe wants further.

McCarthy eyes Punchestown for in-form Fountain House

My first winner (in 2021) was during covid when they had bumpers for hunter chase-licensees and, while I'm mainly a pre-trainer, it is nice to mix it around with having a right fun horse like this. He is a gorgeous-looking horse and, since I've got him, we've ticked away with him and he has been lucky for us. We'll look forward to Punchestown now as he qualifies for the farmers' race (Bishopscourt Cup) - with Kildare being my local hunt I wouldn't mind having a crack at it.

Nowwhatdoyouthink going right way for Hackett

He was really disappointing up until today and the last day he travelled like the winner until the third-last, but found nothing. He never made a noise, but we got his wind tidied up and it seems to have done an awfully good job on him. His three runs up until today were putrid, but his point-to-point form for Sam Curling was brilliant. He had form tying in with good horses and finished behind Romeo Coolio on his debut. Coming back in trip and, with the ground being so well watered, was a big help. Chasing is the way to go with him and he might now get a little break before coming back over fences during the summer, as he handles good ground.

Tasmanian Girl pops up at 40/1

We bought her privately for only a couple of grand to get Anthony's (O'Gorman, friend) daughter Jessica going again, so we weren't thinking we'd win a load of races with her although we can't believe this! . It was a complete surprise and, while we knew she was in good shape, she is only average. She finished second here in November, lively ground is key to her and Cian gave her a serious ride.

Are You Busy delights Sweeney in Thurles

That was needed! She was nearly entitled to do that on her form and she is a grand little mare and is a good little jumper. I'm quiet enough with just six or seven horses to run and she will tip away on good ground during the summer.

Rushmount a poignant winner for Sweeney and Hayes

He ran a cracker at Dublin (Racing Festival, fourth at Leopardstown). Jonathan (Sweeney) minds them and he gets the best out of them, a good week for him. I'd just like to say that that is actually Michael O'Sullivan's horse and he won a race on him. We are all still thinking of him. His brother, Alan, had a great weekend with three winners and it was great to see. I must say I watched two of the races and he was very good. I think Alan could be a top-class jockey as well, like his brother. We are all still thinking of him. This horse is actually on the front page of today's racecard with Michael O'Sullivan riding. I have another (racecard) at home with him again on the front page so, I'll hold on to them as Michael was a good friend and a super talent. He was probably on the horse's back today. Brian is a gentleman, comes in as often as he can, is a worker and a top-class rider so I'm delighted for him. He said they hacked around today and didn't want it to turn into a sprint. The horse had a pile of weight to carry, so still had to do it. I don't know what there is for him now until Punchestown, so Aintree is an option as the boys (Limerick-based Apex Flight Syndicate) would have no bother travelling!
