Apricot Twist bolts up on debut

She’s a lovely filly and I’ve liked her from day one. We have literally given her six weeks cantering and haven’t worked her.

Gordon Bennett, he's gone and won it!

Listed success for Pirate Jenny

Gary said she was very tough. The last day was too soon after the Cork race. She is a filly that I need to give some time between her races.

Haynes lands Marwell Stakes with first Irish runner

First runner in Ireland and it’s a winner. Our only concern coming here today was whether this race was a bit too soon from Beverley. But the form was franked when the horse that she beat twice just went and won before this race. She has a great brain and is so straight forward to train. She showed a lot of speed here and it appears that she is getting quicker and quicker. We can probably set our sights a bit higher now. Rossa just said about sending her to America for the Breeders Cup but we’ll go back to the drawing board and speak to the owner before making a plan. She’ll keep to five for the moment. I’ve been training since the end of February last year and we had a Listed winner last year. We have a lovely bunch of 38 horses in Newmarket right at the bottom of Warren Hill.

Barnhill Rose makes the breakthrough under Rutledge

Mutasarref brings up 24/1 treble for Lyons

I was gobsmacked that he qualified for the race (for horses that have not won a weight-for-age race value more than 15,000). We have three horses in that race rated over 100 and they qualify for it so we need to keep an eye on prizemoney. We are selling all our good horses. We all have to sell to survive but we are losing quality horses like this by doing it as we don’t have the prizemoney. The good horses need to be looked after. If the prizemoney is not high enough then in ten years’ time we will have a product not worth looking at. This lady (Eleanora Kennedy) loves having fun and coming racing. He’s a great horse for her to own in her first full year in Ireland. She’s late to the game. Her husband died in the last three years and she’s loving racing.
