Starman grabs winning opportunity as hotpot falls
It's a great result for his owner Michael Ronayne. He is an elderly man and is very sick at the moment. He will be watching this from his bed and he'll be delighted, this will give him a real lift. He had plenty of good horses in the past. His son John Joe buys foals and they are a well-respected family. They have Coolcormack Stud in Dungarvan. He is a grand horse. He's had a couple of little problems and we've ironed them out to a certain degree. We will see what the handicapper does and probably box away in a couple of handicaps. He was well-held in a Tramore handicap and he probably has a high enough mark of 106. James thought Michael (O'Sullivan) maybe had the edge over him but you need luck.
Bowmore a cosy victor as O'Connor rides 50th winner
Plain sailing for Park
Brown strikes again at Wexford
She's done it well, she is a nice mare and is improving the whole time. She is settling well now and that was the key to her. She is a big, strong mare. Michael gave her a good ride and she kept going the best. She won a point-to-point and she'll get further than this. I said to Michael don't be afraid to go on with her if you have to. We will keep her going for the summer and there is a novice race in Galway that could be an option for her.
Feet Dances away to score in style
That was a super ride from Sarah. I said sit on her coming down the hill and don't let the leaders get too far away from you. She got a lovely run up the inner and I thought she was super. She is a progressive little mare and I was delighted with the way she won here the last day when the loose horse didn't do her any favours. She has come on a lot from that. I'm thinking something like getting in off bottom weight in the Lartigue at Listowel. Maybe she is not that standard, but she is a progressive little one and wears her heart on her sleeve and seems to try. She is going the right way.
McKenna gets the Nod from O'Sullivan
Walmix lunges late in Wexford bumper
I thought a two-mile bumper might be a bit quick for him. He jumps well and I'd imagine he will go straight over hurdles now. Maybe he'll go to Galway, even though it might be ambitious for him. He is an excitable horse. He got a lovely introduction at Tramore and showed the improvement today, reversing the form with two of them from there.
