Great start on big day at the Curragh as Thunder Moon bolts in

Revolutme leaves Sligo disappointment behind quickly

She didn't handle the track in Sligo and we were very disappointed,. Ben (Coen) said she got a bit of a bump on the bend there as well. I told Danny that he was drawn one and to just go straight as I think she got intimidated the last day. We always thought she'd be capable of winning one of these nurseries. She will like softer ground so hopefully she can improve from here and pick up another one of those. She's tough, hardy, she's not too big but has a great heart. It was hugely disappointing at Sligo but she's made amends today.

Lucky Vega a 1st Group 1 winner for owner Zhang Yuesheng

He was good. That's Mr Zhang's first Group 1 winner worldwide. I'm absolutely delighted, for the horse and it's great for Mr Zhang,. He's a nice horse going forward and Shane said he's getting quicker. He probably needed it the last day because he had won his maiden without getting into a battle. The last day when he got into a bit of a battle it just hardened him up. He was much more streetwise and on his work at home he had really started to come to himself. We thought he was working well but you never know until you go racing and everyone said this was a strong renewal. We'll have to sit down and think now but Shane said we'd probably be thinking about the Middle Park. I think he'll get seven as well. Last year was all about the fillies so it's great this year to come up with a good colt.

Oisin rides Group 3 winner on good day for the Orr brothers

Jungle gets head in front for McCreery

It's great to get her a win. She's a tough hardy little filly,. I thought Nathan was very good on her today as they went very hard and he didn't panic on her. He was good and strong in the finish and she stayed out the last 100 yards very well. I'm delighted to win for Patrick and Anne-Marie Burns, they bred her themself. Rathasker sponsored the last race and she's by one of their stallions so it's all good. When you get put up 5lb for being second you have to go back for a maiden.

Super sub Harnett pleases Hogan with another win

That's twice this season that Paddy has had spare rides for me and they've won,. Boughtinthedark at Navan when Joey forgot to register and today Joey got a blowout (on his car). Paddy comes into us one day a week and he's a good kid. He's a real nice fella as well as a good rider and he'll do well. He has a jumps licence too, he has plenty of bottle and I'd say nothing fazes him. I'm delighted for Bahlwan, I'd say it was too short for my other horse Hell Left Loose (8th) who was dropping back a furlong. Bahlwan is an out-and-out five horse. A friend of mine, Darragh Hayes, runs the syndicate and there are four or five or them involved. He's been a good fun horse for them over the years. He likes the Curragh and hopefully he might step up enough to creep into the Joe McGrath. He always runs his race over five, in fairness to him. I actually thought the handicapper had a fair grip but Paddy's 7lb definitely made a huge difference there.

So Wonderful finally sheds maiden tag under excellent Lordan ride

A Flaming good day for the Smiths completed by Moon at the Curragh

The little bit further obviously brought out more improvement in him,. We were running him over a bit short looking at that now. He's done it well. We just wanted to see would he stay a mile today. He shows a lot of speed at home, even the likes of Master Matt, who is a five or six furlongs horse, wouldn't work with him. We said we'd try a mile and he's obviously better over further. It opens up a few options now. Last year I thought he was a proper horse. He ran a cracker here the first day and was unlucky a few times after. In Galway the last day he missed the break a bit and they came in on top of him. I'm happy with that. Kevin had his first winner today as well so it's been a good day.
