Kindergarten knows her job to win first time out
She's a lovely filly and we've always liked her. She has just taken time. It is extraordinary, I thought the Lucky Vega's would be lovely early horses and they haven't been. She has plenty of natural speed and she's just a nice horse, a very nice filly. Lovely actioned and she probably needs the ground a little bit better than that. Oh yes (dream is very much alive) and he (Foley) has always liked her, but we have just taken our time with her. We could easily be putting her away, but I want to talk to Mr Zhang and we'll see.
Keane gets one back as Chester Nimitz belatedly lands maiden
I have to thank Ben Coen to be honest because he rode him in the north and he clipped heels, and he didn't knock him around after that. He came in and he said to me he was very quick out of the gates and has loads of boot, so he said maybe it would be better to bring him back to six furlongs and let him roll. He looked great today and he is due to go to the sales at the end of the month and I'd say he probably will go to the sales. He'll be a nice horse for some of the foreign countries - he goes on top of the ground and he's a lovely big horse.
The Love Machine powers home at Navan
We were a little bit disappointed the last day, he came there swinging and he just didn't go through with his run. We rode him completely and utterly differently today, we rode him from off the pace. I don't know where we will go now, but it is lovely that he won for him. Terry loses his 10lb claim now, he goes down to 7lb. He is a very good young fella and is after working hard.
Step Back In Time gives Colin Keane Navan double
She really enjoys it here - I don't know what it is, I think maybe going down into the dip she can take a breath. I was hopeful, I wasn't confident to be honest. She was on the go a while and it is getting late in the year for a filly. We had to clip her the other day, her coat was gone. She was flying going to Cork and I think she just came into season going down there. I wasn't too worried about that run, I think there was an excuse. The grey filly (Platino Bianco), it was her last-chance saloon. She has always worked well. She travelled very sweetly, so she will get another chance. There is (another race for her in Navan) - there is a '60' sprint and an '80' sprint, so hopefully we get another day with the two of them. Step Back in Time, we might try her once (in Dundalk). She is actually rated lower on the all-weather.
Sugar Goodson a shock 33/1 Navan winner for Elliott
I'm not surprised, to be honest. He did a few bits of work early on in the year and we were really, really happy with him. He just started growing a bit and we just backed off him. We think he is good and he is for sale obviously. Chris said he thinks he is very smart. He will stay well, he's a nice horse and he has been showing us all the right signs. He's big enough to jump.
Gloriously Glam lands Navan feature for McGuinness
The boys bought her online and she had a couple of mediocre runs for me - it was quick ground. She loves a bit of room and a bit of space. Last week in Bellewstown, I wasn't going to run her with the ground. Then I looked, and she is a Profitable, and they have to go on it. She was a little bit unlucky, she just bumped into one of Joseph's. Today, I was a bit (worried) whether she would get the mile or not. I said to Adam if he could make it, make it. If not, just take a lead. Got a lovely lead and he said he was always going to get her in the end. She's very game and she stayed at it well for him. She wasn't an overly dear filly, she has been a great bit of fun. She is after winning twice for us and been second. It was a good race and nice to get that for her.
Keane records Navan treble as Forlio wins for Flynn
I think he is a well-handicapped horse on his previous form. The boys have been patient. We brought him to Ffos Las thinking it was a penalty kick and the jockey (David Probert) that rode him there that day just said to get his wind looked at. We brought him down to Ben Brain and he found a little problem, an entrapment of some sort that he was carrying for a while. It is great that the lads were patient and stuck with him. He was off a low mark today and I don't think it was the greatest of contests. He's in again on Monday (Roscommon). Unless anything is wrong, he will run again. He always worked seriously well at home and never quite got there because obviously there was something stopping him. It is great to see him do that. Maybe the problem never arises at home because he works so well that he is maybe not under pressure until he goes to the track. We got great information off the jockey anyway!
Mulvany doubles up as Boyne Valley lands Navan finale
The horses are running well. She's a well-bred filly. She hit the goalpost one day early, but she was a little bit disappointing. I'd say probably that is her ideal trip and riding her that way. They went a good pace early on and ever so slight cut in the ground. She doesn't want heavy ground and it was too heavy the last twice. I haven't her entered up anywhere, but hopefully we will find something. We would be hoping there would be something else for her if the handicapper doesn't go mad.
