Wish off to stud on winning note
It’s well deserved. She has been second twice. The drop back in trip was no problem to her, she jumped well and travelled well. The trip did suit her. I think that is her last run. She is going to the breeding shed, we just sold the filly in the last few days. I think she might go to Arizona Blaze. It’s very important to get that win on the board.

Spy edges verdict for Lee
We have to give that one to Billy! He was brilliant and codded him along - he's definitely a bit of a monkey. He is generally consistent under both codes, the jumping seems to have sweetened him up definitely. His best Flat form is over 10 even though we have tried a mile-and-a-half, I don't know how many times. He's had a long year and the lads might be more keen on a jumping campaign next summer, he might get a break.
Mhuirin another for the bookies
I told anyone to back her today each way. She’s a nice filly. She needs a bit of time, Ben said she is still very green. We have her about two months and we liked her, she was in pre-training.
Keane gets Bear up late to grab double
I was down about 50 or 100 yards from the line and he was well beaten at that stage. Colin said he was flat out the whole way, so really seven (furlongs) would probably suit him better - if he would relax over the seven. When you put Colin up, that's what can happen. Having said all that, we thought when we started working him first that he was the 'real deal'. We went to the Curragh one day, with Colin riding him and he had ridden him work, and we thought we had a big chance. He finished second-last. It took us a long time to figure him out, and geld him. He did run well here the last day and a little step forward again.
