O'Donoghue's juvenile gets up for last-gasp success
Charles Fort wins readily under Cleary
Gerrit's Gem returns to form at favourite track
I fancied my other horse Pinar Del Rio more but he ran no race, and I didn't get a chance to talk to Ronnie (Whelan, jockey). This fellow had won his maiden here quite impressively but then lost his way. He had shown signs of coming back recently so we said we'd roll the dice and see. We gave Jack no instructions and told him to let him go once he was happy. He also won over a mile here last year and is a nice horse who is still a work in progress. There might be a decent day in him and I wouldn't think he'd want the ground any softer than that.
Lee making up for lost time
She is a nice filly and I thought she ran well on her debut in Galway. To be fair to Billy (Lee), he told me the ground was too quick for her here the last day but I wanted to run her to give her the education. It is great to have Billy back and this filly had been in good form since that last run, which had good form. Maybe something like the Weld Park Stakes might suit next.
Not Simple goes one better for Barrett & McAteer
She was a little green the last day and was again today but just kept galloping away on the soft ground. I thought the line would never come. I think once she steps up in trip it will bring more improvement and she is definitely one to look forward to. It took a while for the penny to drop but she seems to be growing up with racing. I always thought she was a nice filly but missed in her maidens and we ended up where we are. She is going the right way though and could eventually go jumping.
