Ratib lands the odds in Dundalk opener
Feeling springs shock for Crawley
She's a nice filly. She's big and she's almost 17 hands. She was green the last day, she sat in the stalls, and she came on a good bit from that. She's very well bred, she's a half-sister to Teresa Mendoza (runner-up in Group 3 Round Tower) and Royal Ascot winner Tactical is under the second dam. I'm hoping I can get a bit of black-type to make a broodmare out of her. That's the first horse the (All The Right Faces) Syndicate have had with me so I suppose we got lucky.
Murphy and Ewing combine for their first win together
Pulse Of Shanghai on the up and up and gains 3rd win on the bounce
He seems to love the surface up here,. We'll put our hands up as we've maybe been getting it wrong during the year, running him on soft ground and trying to ride races on him. He's happiest up there rolling along, he's travelling his own pace and he seems to love it. He's improving. I didn't think he'd win as easy, I thought it would be a dog fight and we'd be lucky if we won it. He won well. He beat a horse of ours, Strong Johnson, last year when Jim (Ryan) trained him and he went up to 91 so maybe we are underestimating this fella. He was quick out of the gates there and Declan was fantastic on him. He gets a good tune out of him.
MacRedmond home to Ireland with a bang
She's good, tough and hardy and she got down to a winnable mark,. The claim probably made the difference today, taking the 7lb off. Cian only started with me two weeks ago. He's come home from England and it's a great way to start. I'm delighted for him, he works hard and is a good kid to ride. I think he'll do very well here in the next year of two. It's great for Shamrock as well, that's another win on the board for them.
Keepthebestsideout delights Browne with breakthrough win
That is the best thrill. I can't describe the feeling, it's just brilliant,. I love a winner. I just have four horses and I do it for sport. That's brilliant because it's so hard to win. She was knocking on the door and she was due that. She'll come back here in ten days time for a similar race.
Noirvento delivers for favourite backers
She deserved that, she's a model of consistency,. Her owners (Altar Ego Syndicate) are great, they have persevered with her and she's had a good season for them. Ronan gave her a lovely ride, coming from last to first. They went very hard early on and she finishes very well. I'd say six-and-a-half is probably her ideal trip. I'm delighted with her.
Whelan double to wrap up at Dundalk
He has really learned how to race properly,. He didn't jump as quick as he usually does but it actually worked out to be a good thing as he can be a touch keen in his races. Today he jumped, did things properly, went through the race and finished it off well, hitting the line strong. I think a strongly run six is what he wants.
