Smoke clings on for maiden win
It depended on where the line was - at the beginning of the gap she's not (up) and then she is. We said to stay out there until you come to the elbow because of better ground, well it is not used anyway. Thank God, we have been a long time waiting for her to win. I don't know if she would run again this year.
Smoke Them Out gets his ground in Bellewstown
He loved that ground. You'd say he shouldn't run well up here but, even on good ground, he had been running well. He would be a bit outpaced and run on from the road home. On that ground, I said, 'jump out to go hard and if anything wants to take it off you, fine'. All his wins have been with plenty of dig in the ground. He's in on Sunday in the Curragh and if the ground is soft, we will probably have to take our chance. He has won twice there.
Enemy strikes again for Magee
She's unbelievable! She's just a very good mare, very sound and so easy to train. She got a great ride off Adam. He actually rang me a couple of weeks ago and he said he was interested in coming in to ride out. Fair play to him, he actually met me on the beach on Sunday morning when it was teeming with rain. Only he said he was going to be there, I probably would have turned the box around as the rain was that bad. He was in my yard on Monday morning, and he was saying about Arch. I said she wasn't going to get in as she was eight on the ballot. He was in the right place at the right time. I'm not actually sure where he lives, but I wouldn't say he is too close to Cavan. He is well able to ride. One of the lads in the yard spotted him and said to keep an eye on him, that he might be interested. Hopefully, that is the start of something because he is going to come into me a couple of days a week hopefully. He seems to be a good rider. The plan for a long time now has been to go for the premier handicap in Leopardstown. She won it a couple of years ago. She was out of the handicap that day. That is probably going to put her up enough just to sneak in at the bottom of it.
