No worries for Neolithic in Gowran opener
Soft ground is good enough for Meade and Bobby McGee
His form was good. He was a cheeky colt and gelding him was a big help,. He’d done plenty. Even though he’d never ran on soft he has big feet and he’d worked quite well on it so I was happy coming. I didn’t really think any further than trying to win with him and we’ll see what the handicapper does now.
Evergreen McCullagh off the mark for the season
Fair play to Shane Foley, as he recommended her to Breen (White, owner),. We gave her a bit of work in Dundalk before the end of the year and it wasn’t for her, so we put her away and waited for the grass. She loves that kind of ground. Last week in Navan, she just didn’t stay so we dropped her back in trip and it was ideal. She’s in at Bellewstown on Saturday and we might go again. We’ll see how she is. She likes the ground and if it dries up too much, it won’t suit her.
Sinmara impresses in maiden success
Murtagh & Coen take the claimer
He ran very well the last day in Dundalk and he was entitled to be very competitive in a race like that. Ben said he saves a little bit for himself, there is always a bit left there, but he responded well in tough going. We’re delighted to get a winner on the board, we’ve been hitting the crossbar with a few. It’s good to get him going. He’ll be a fun little horse, he’s very sound and genuine. Maybe someone will pick him up now. 68 is probably a fair rating for him.
