More Fairyhouse joy for McManus & McCoy
He's a great big horse and a bit of a trip will help him. He handles soft ground . he loves it. I'd imagine he would stay forever and I thought that'd be too short for him but we decided to run when the rain came. I'll send him chasing now but that'll be in the autumn as he's had a hard season. He's still only learning his trade.
356/1 double for Colin Bowe
In one of his points he made a bad mistake two out and then rattled home to be beaten a short-head. He had that bit of experience and he'll go to Punchestown now. He's for sale.
Vast improvement from Consumption
I'm delighted with that and she's come back from three miles to two there. She looked to travel well throughout and she hurdled very well.
Another for J P & Tom but overshadowed by sadness
We fancied him in the Thyestes but he lost his way a bit. Maybe we didn't train him as hard in order to freshen him up and he was definitely fresher today. He was due one of these as he won a good beginners chase here in January of last year. He's a bit of a head-banger . he was to be ridden up there . there is no talking to him if he wants to go on.
Mister Farmer ploughs through the ground
He's had a couple of fractures in his time. I expected him to do that earlier in the season but my horses weren't firing. He ran really well last time although beaten ten lengths.
