Bay bounces back from ban to score
She is delicate but has a bit of ability. Seamie said she relaxed very well today and was able to finish off the race well,. I don't have any other plans but hopefully she can progress through the year and she might make into a Stakes filly later on. I don't like guessing what ground they like, until you run them and coming here I thought it was 50/50 but he (Heffernan) said she handled the ground well today.
De Bromhead strikes again on Flat with Perles
Dream keeps up good start for Stack & Hayes
It didn't suit him being in front but he was entitled to do that,. We had to find a way to draw the sting out out of the others and he won snug enough in the end. He has been a great servant - he won't run in the Gladness Stakes at the weekend as the ground is drying out. He could go for the Amethyst Stakes at Leopardstown next if the ground is soft.
Things go right for Whisper
I was delighted with the way she came out of her race the last day - she was drawn wide in 18 then and Pat came in and said things didn't work out,. I was hoping today wouldn't come too soon but she handled the ground well and galloped all the way to the line. Barry Cash (jockey) has been doing a great job getting her to settle over hurdles and I have to thank him, Conor O'Dwyer and Jenny Lynch who all helped me today, as I broke down on the way here.
Dasheen scores on first Irish start
Head successfully Turns attention to Flat
She is slow out of the stalls and I don't want fast ground for her as she then can't get into it, but when I saw the ground was soft to heavy, I declared her as I knew she'd handle it,. Everything worked well today and that was Dylan's first ride for me. He came to ride for me recently and came back in from riding work with a good explanation of the horse he rode, so that'd do me. It was a great ride today and he's very professional. She'll go to Punchestown next but will have break then and come back for the end of the flat in the autumn. She'll go chasing then and jumps very well.
Kalopsia on top after battle of the O'Briens
I'm delighted for Joseph and both horses ran really well. We're delighted with our filly as it was her first run in a long time and she just got there and got tired. You'd be delighted with the run and it's great to get another winner for Anna. Clear Skies doesn't have to go that far (1m4f) and dropping back in trip would suit her. She has plenty of class and it was nice to get her started. She's on the road now and we have her started.
