Harrington and O'Donoghue in Paradise
Culloty scores with Knockmaole Boy
that’s his third run for me and he is a lovely consistent horse and has plenty options. He used to be very keen but is settling better now and is grand straightforward.
Motherland romps home in Ballinrobe
He's a lovely horse - he's out of a good sprinter but he relaxes so well and has a good attitude and it means he has a turn of foot over that distance. He could make a nice stayer and is taking his racing well.
Queen Alphabet and Smullen a good team
Pat (Smullen) was very good - he knows her better than I do at this stage and gave her a brilliant ride; he saw that there was no pace and then steadied it up completely in front. We probably made too much use of her at Wexford the last day but she is a very consistent mare and will tip away when ever the ground is good. There are plenty of options for her - she could go for a 0-90 flat handicap at Bellewstown next or the Ladies' Derby at the Curragh on Oaks weekend or else back over hurdles. It's great for Stephen and Carmel Ennis (owners), from Castletown Geoghegan as Stephen hasn't been well for a while so it will give him a good boost.
Highland Fling skates home
Phelan eyes Galway for Petuna
She is a fair bit of stuff and is honest as the day is long.
