Lyons' Boyfriend now two from two
We didn't want to run him back too soon from Bellewstown but this race presented itself and we had to take it but we're delighted he's after getting two on the bounce. We'll be able to back off him now and give him a good break and he'll be up to Listed class now - that's what he'll be doing once he fills into himself. He had the class the last day, in not a great race, to win on soft ground but this is the ground that our horses like.
Oasis a welcome winner for Wachman
Wayne gave him a good ride and he'll go for a similar type handicap next. It's nice to get him back that's for sure.
Well-backed Pipes continues progression
I previously won the Cork Sprint with An Saighdiur and that's my second Listed winner. I was hoping the ground would be a bit softer but she is tough and keeps at it. Not everyone is a fan of (sire) Rip Van Winkle but I love them and couldn't get enough of them. She is tough and genuine and just wants to please. I'll keep Planchart for the Corrib Stakes at Galway and give this one a little break now. We were hoping to be third for black-type but to win was a real bonus. I have 25 flat horses riding out at the moment - that's the biggest string. I'm still selling and will be looking for new stock again soon.
Reserve Trade gets off the mark on 20th start
He was too keen at Bellewstown the last day but settled great today. He had bits of form and loves to be held up - he'll mix it away for the summer. Colm (O'Donoghue) started with me riding out in his school holidays when he was still on the flapping scene but that's his first winner for me. I could never find him to ride for me because he was always tied up with Aidan (O'Brien) but he said that if he was ever to leave Aidan's, that he'd gladly come back to me!
Rose justifies odds-on favouritism
Russian records first win over flights
Verdana leaves favourite backers feeling Blue
She is a nice mare and I've always liked her and think a lot of her. She'll go places but what happens next I don't know but I'll try sell her if I can.
