Wishmoor gains repeat win in the veterans race

I’m absolutely thrilled and that’s been his target all summer. He won this race last year. He’s been good at home but I’ve been a bit concerned as it’s taken him a while to come into form on the track. Ricky gave him a never say die ride and I’m not sure if any other jockey would have won on him today. He got a really good tune out of him. He did the same here last year with the fences down the back but did eventually warm up to his jumping. The veterans race in Navan will be the plan again and we also have the Ulster National in mind.

Big Debates completes a double for Foley

It looked competitive on paper but he did it well. They went a good gallop and he left them at it. He joined them nicely and always looked in control. He got under the last a small bit but he picked up again. He’s been consistent and he’ll probably go back over fences again. We’ll see what’s suitable for him.

Split The Bucket opens his account under rules

We always liked him a lot but he just had a lot of little problems, nothing major. I nearly had him ready to run a few times last spring and the horses just weren’t right. He also had a couple of hold ups this year. He won his point-to-point and I ran him back too soon in a bumper. He has a nice way about him.

Brulure Noire relishes the mud for 40/1 shock win

He needs soft ground and Jody said he needs to be going to his knees in it. He travelled everywhere for him. He works at home like a very good horse. Tom Hamilton rode him in a bumper one day (at Thurles) and turning in I thought he’d win but they quickened and he couldn’t on good ground.

Tyner records 72/1 treble as Womalko wins the finale

He did it nicely but it was a weak kind of race and he was entitled to do it. The horses are in good form and it was nice to get the three on one day. I think I had a treble in Clonmel before and I’ve had three winners seven times in point-to-points.
