Hee Haw gains first Irish win

we thought he'd win two runs ago and he let us down. I didn't put a saddle on him for ten days and when I saw that the entries were small for the race here on Monday I entered him and we rode him out on Monday afternoon. He hasn't had a gallop and we just left him mad fresh. I put plenty of wool around his head tonight! I put the cheekpieces on him tonight as in England he won with them on first time so I'd try a change. Six is probably his trip, he was off it early but stayed at it well then. He's tough and hardy and I think he'll even be better with a bit of juice in the ground. I might give him another week off, not ride him and try the same trick again. It great to win for the lads and we'll just tip away with him.

Daughter of Guineas winner bags maiden success

Masalai scores for Lynam & Orr

he's a little bit timid, he's not the toughest old horse in the place. I thought here one night last year that he'd won but when they called out the result he was beat a short-head. It's nice to see him get his head in front again. He was tiring when he got a bump here last time and it didn't effect the result. He deserved to win another race. Unfortunately I'd imagine he'll get 3lb or more so he'll go out of this grade and that's a big step of stairs to move up. We'll come back here in a few weeks and find something for him.

Crossingoz lands second Winter Series success

She loves the surface here. You're very fortunate if you have a horse that's able to do that as not every horse handles it. We ran her over the mile-two and 150 yards here before but she's really a mile-and-one filly and that just stretched her. The mile here is lovely for her.

Togoville becomes winningmost horse at Dundalk

it wasn't a shock — the shock this morning was the price of him!. He had slipped right back down in the handicap, he probably needed every bit of it and with young Andy's (Slattery) 7lb claim off as well, it was brilliant. He gave him a great ride. He got hampered coming out of the stalls and I thought he might have thrown the towel in but he didn't. He's a tough cookie. I was very lucky to get him and a big thanks to Patrick McCann (owner) and his family for supporting me. We were chasing this for a while (the tenth win). He was second in this race last year, he won it the year before so this is his time of year and it's good to get him back in good form. It took a while, the were a couple of issues with him but we got them ironed out.

Park Row bags eighth career success

he's exciting and I'll be hoarse now for days after that!. What can you say, he's just brilliant. Hopefully he keeps improving, I felt coming into the race he was in good form with the vibes I was getting from him. I suppose well go back to the grass, we might give him another five or six weeks. We'll step him up to two miles at some stage, I think he'll stay now that he's older and stronger. We were all away on holidays about three weeks ago and I have to thank Michael Halford and his staff for looking after him while we were away.

Peace Prevails following terrific tussle

he is a big, beautiful horse with plenty ability. He ran a lovely race on debut and came on from the run nicely and should go on again from this. He improved with the step up in trip but isn't a slow horse either. He is for sale and you'd think he will have no problem stepping into Listed class now.
