Fakir D'alene gets favourite backers off to winning start at Downpatrick

The track wasn't probably ideal; it was a little bit sharp. He was flat out at the top of the hill and they went a good gallop. They quickened it early on, on probably ground that is a little bit deader than yesterday,.

Mr Moondance blitzes them in Downpatrick

Sure he has only one way of going and that's as hard as he can for as long as he can. It sounds ridiculous because he is still a runaway, but I'd say he's after settling a fraction with old age. He's hardly improving at that age but I'd say he's less stupid.

Dylan Johnston makes breakthrough with first win in the riding ranks

That's his (Dylan Johnston) first winner. I told him I would get him a win. He knew where the line was and that's a good, wee horse,. His saddle slipped the last time. I thought he would win today as he has been going well at home and had run well here before. I would have thought there would be another day in him. I was one of the first ones to put up Rachael Blackmore and that's that wee fella’s first winner. I've only have three horses. As long as you keep it fun, you're not getting into trouble!
