Michael's Well strikes for Hartys in Navan opener
Velvet Skies defies topweight to win for Mulvany
The last day he showed up well (in third at Dundalk). We said that to Ben that when he got down into the 60 grade that he was going to be dangerous. We'll see what we are going to do, he won in Dundalk. I'm delighted for Frank, he's a good patron. We thought we might try and win on the beach (Laytown) with him, but it didn't work. He's very competitive off his mark at the moment. He has won when he is higher (in weights), but he is probably not as good as he was then.
O'Sullivan's Bad Boy comes good at Navan
We got him from Katie (Walsh, wife) and he's a horse that she loved. He was kind of showing that he had a good attitude and that he was a nice horse. She kind of thought that he would suit Eleanora (Kennedy, owner). Eleanora was looking for a horse to replace Warrior Brave and this horse came along. It was nice to have a bit of inside information from Katie!. I was very impressed with the way he quickened today and Colin said the same. I was worried about the ground, but Colin said that he handled it well. It is lovely to have him because he has a bit of size and scope to him, so could make actually a lovely horse for next year. It is (good to get the win as a juvenile) and put him away now. Hopefully, Eleanora will be back next summer to enjoy him. He could run in those better kind of sprints and things like that. Hard for a three-year-old, but there are a few options in the springtime that he can go for. Lovely horse to go for.
Glory To Be lunges late to score for Grassick
Dark Ace returns to form to land first turf victory
We were after castrating him. He was a bit of a pup there earlier on and we cut him. The boys bought into him when one of the partners sold out - Damian (McCann) still stayed in him. We didn't expect him to run as well, I thought he might have needed it. I said he would be a nice horse for Dundalk, I wasn't expecting him to do this. He is lower (rated) on the grass as well, it was a big difference. He'll go to Dundalk Friday week over six furlongs. Only thing is, I have three others for it as well. He has won there twice. We didn't think he would go on this ground, we didn't think he would like this ground at all. He came home well on it.
