First two finishers in Claimer picked up

she loves that ground and Gary (Carroll) said he knew she’d battle once the runner-up came to her. I love a horse that tries that hard.

Ballydoyle's second string wins on debut

Heavy ground proves key to Companion

heavy ground is the key to him; he’s won at Dundalk but doesn't really let himself down on quicker ground.

Smullen closes gap to four

she has learned from her previous runs in handicaps and it was a good game genuine performance. She is improving with each run and we will try to win a Premier Handicap with her.

'Improved' Upgraded wins 5 days after debut

she was very green the last day but came home well. She's obviously improved a good bit and loves that ground. She can step up again to ten furlongs now.

Birds Of Prey snares second Gowran win

he's a grand horse and is very versatile ground wise. He'll probably go to the sales at some stage but he'll run again before that. He stays well and battles well.

McDonogh completes Gowran treble

I rang Ruby and he said to hold on to him but I got there a bit soon. He's a nice type of horse and handled the ground well.
