Man proves a Friend to Naas punters
Rogers gelding not for Catching in sprint handicap
We have a few(horses) that are alright. The few owners I have are very good. Very loyal. He was second over a mile-and-a-half, I think he was twice over a mile-and-a-half. Twice over a mile-and-two. A mile, seven(furlongs); the dam was the same. No one ever told me they had loads of speed. I just put the blinkers on him one morning and they seemed to light him up and stayed straight. I'd say he'll stay further but we'll keep him at this distance for the time being.
Big Negotiator takes step forward to land Listed Marwell Stakes
It was her sixth run so she is good and hardy. She was unlucky here the last day against the colts. She was pushed across the track. She went off 15/8 the other day and she was 20/1, I couldn't believe it, today. I thought it was nuts. She is a good, tough filly and I'm very happy for her. The other lady (Concorde Landed) looked a bit fresh. Billy said she was a bit fresh going to the start and I just thought she took a bad step there maybe a furlong down if you watch it back. She'll come on from it. Hard to beat the six runs.
Soul Love shows good attitude to land Yeomanstown Stud Stakes
Here and Leopardstown have been very lucky for me. We've had some nice winners here. She's such a tough filly, very game, very honest. To do that with a penalty. We'll try and pick up some Group 3 black type somewhere hopefully. I'm very happy with that. She's backed up a very good run the last day. It was only two weeks ago at York. She's pretty professional. I'm not sure where we'll go next but we'll try and find some Group 3 somewhere.
Dinamine continues Mulvaney's good form
Eddie G shows bravery to land Naas success
He was caught wide on the outside in Leopardstown last time and it was a little bit quick. He just struggled. He had a good run previous to that in the north. He likes a little bit of juice but the ground is beautiful out there. It's riding really, really safe and even a horse that wants a little bit of juice, they are travelling on it. He's a tough little hardy boy. Where he was rated he wasn't going to get a run next week in Galway, that's why he is here. They are Galway lads that own him, the Connollys. He was 73, so he wasn't going to get in. We might find something for him before the week is out. There are entries closing tomorrow. If he is getting in and he's okay, he'll go there.
Suzie Songs gets back on track
She's a frustrating girl. Obviously, her two-year-old form is phenomenal but we lost her. She's a bigger girl now. She's done a lot of growing. Whether it was the growing and everything in between. We have that bit on her. It's not ideal because it doesn't help them out of the stalls. But that's good. I wouldn't get carried away, we are still a work in progress. We've all the black type in the bag. Will we win black type more? We are getting there. Let's see how she comes out of this. She's not easy. I knew we were on the right road after the last day but we're still not the finished article. I'd love her to come back to last year's form.
