Emperor Rules in Fairyhouse Opener
Tarrsille has the Winning Habit Now
He probably goes better the other way around. He needed the blinkers and Emmett did well to make the running from that draw.
Magic Double for Murtagh
She ran well last year and deserved to win this. She was fit and well and her experience helped her. It was great to get Johnny to ride her. She'll probably go for a fillies handicap on Derby weekend.
Stand Delivers Again at Fairyhouse
The winning owners, the Paleface Sioux Syndicate are from Athlone. This horse likes an easy finish on fast ground. He'll come back here next Wednesday (to bid for a fourth course win).
Money for Adjaliya Proves Spot-On
She stays well as she is bred to. She'll take on older horses next time in a handicap. She is rated 83 and she has a long way to go to make a stakes horse.
McDonogh Finds a Diamond in Lesoto
The owners, the Foleys are neighbours of mine in Leighlinbridge and they also bred her. Good ground is the key to this mare. One of her best runs was at the Guineas meeting last year when it was very quick. She'll go for a mile and a half handicap again next time at one of the nicer tracks.
Oxx & Kinane Complete Fairyhouse Double
He was fancied the first day but he ran no sort of race. He got the trip here well and he probably likes that ground. He'll go for a three-year-old handicap next.
