Successor appreciates step up in trip

Aimhirgin wins at Killarney for the President

Rosin Box wins well under Keane for Murphy

We were very close to pulling her out as we thought it might be a bit gluey for her. He (Keane) said she handled the ground really well though. She got hampered at Listowel when she might have been third. It was a fine moderate contest and we'll look for something similar next.

Smullen scores despite slipped saddle

I was out of control the whole way to be completely honest, until we got to the two furlong marker and from there I just tried to sit still and try to keep the saddle in place. Thankfully he had the ability to hold on. As they turned into the straight I was very much in fear of coming off him but thankfully when he straightened up I realised they weren’t going to get to me I said we’d better make the best of a bad situation! It was just one of those things. the saddle slipped properly up the horse’s neck but fair play to Pat! I’ve known him since we were pony racing together and he’s a good family friend and I think this is his best year ever. Xsquared will go to Galway for the 2m2f novice chase on Wednesday next.
