Angel swoops for impressive debut win

Monastere makes breakthrough for Thornton

He came forward from the last day and he still doesn’t know how to sprint, as such,. He hasn’t got much mileage and could improve again. We’ll look for something similar and see how we go from there.

Rose collects again for Murtagh

Ben has been adamant to drop her back to six as she shows so much pace, I thought seven furlongs was a good trip for her,. She has pace and she’s getting faster with a bit of racing. Sometimes with these fillies when they get their head in front once it makes all the difference. She had five seconds so we were scratching our heads but she’s on a bit of a roll now. She’s a fine big filly and hopefully she can keep improving.

Caitouna surprises Flynn in fillies handicap

We were meant to go to Dundalk in a few weeks for a three-year-old only but I said to Pat that I didn’t think she was working well enough to wait for it so we said we’d run here,. Pat said put Colin up if he’s available and it was a good decision. He gave her a great ride. When I saw the draw yesterday and I said I wished she wasn’t running here. I don’t think she did anything right and she won so it’s great. She’s really strengthened up. On all her runs until now it looked like she wanted seven but to ride her at home you’d think she wanted further.

Dream comes good under Dalton

He’s not a bad horse. He had good runs early on but lost his way a bit,. We’ll go for another one now. Down Royal was his first run back and we said he’d come on from that.

Doubles for Murtagh and Coen as Vanir lands finale

I really fancied her coming today and thought she would appreciate stepping up to a mile-and-a-half,. She’s not easy on herself, she’s a hardy one. Will Hayes, in all fairness, does a good job with her in the stalls. She wears a blanket. She’s excitable and full of energy. Ben says a mile-and-a-half is no problem but we might drop her back to ten the next time. They went slow and she jumped well and was keen. He didn’t want to be there. She’s a big strong girl and she should develop into a nice filly. Hopefully next year will be another year for her as well.
