Argento Boy wins the first at Punchestown
Nice to see Danny picking up the pieces again on Argento Boy who was running a cracker here the last day when he slipped up. I was very happy that he was able to do that over that trip. He jumped a lot better. He was green enough at times, especially coming to the last. We put cheekpieces on him over hurdles and might do the same over fences.
Poignant success for Gibney's Sammy Smart
That’s huge as we buried Paddy Melarkey, who owned him along with Kevin (Haigney), only a few days ago. It was always going to be emotional whether he won it or not. You can’t beat a bit of divine intervention. He loves Punchestown and ran really well back in Thurles last month. He tends to need a good gap between his races. I thought this might be on the short side, but it worked out well and James was very strong on him.
Effect makes Immediate impact over hurdles
He showed good signs at home and there is plenty of improvement in him. He’s a nice horse and was rated nearly 90 on the Flat.ÃÆ’â€Ã…¡ .He jumped well and travelled well through the race.ÃÆ’â€Ã…¡ We’ll find a winners' race for him and see how we go.ÃÆ’â€Ã…¡

Sonny Carey denies Mullins & Elliott in 2025 finale
It was my own fault the first few times she ran as she wasn’t right, and she’s improving all the time. We always thought she was a nice filly and she’s starting to prove it now.
