Geraghty and Malinas Jack grab their opportunities
Cuneo brings up Foxrock brace for de Bromhead
Gun Digger avails of last fence drama
He’s a big honest galloping horse and Jack gave him a great ride. I’d say we were a bit lucky as Ruby was after giving his horse a peach, and if he stood up it might have been a different story. He’s more of a three-mile horse than a two and a half miler.
Apple's Jade runs them ragged in Foxrock
I could see on the big screen I was fairly well clear of what was in behind me. She's unreal, she is a pleasure to be riding. She was in good form this time last year and then lost her way so hopefully she can keep continuing this way anyway. Jack said she was brilliant today and foot perfect everywhere. He gave her a kick at the second last and she picked up changed gears and was gone again. He said she was actually gone a bit idle in front but it’s a good complaint to have and we’re lucky to have her. It was unfortunate to see Faugheen falling and we don’t know what would have happened but it probably would have taken a fair one to go past her. She’ll be entered in everything. She might come back here over two miles (in the BHP Insurance Irish Champion Hurdle). In Cheltenham she will probably go for the race I think she can win and that might be the Mares Hurdle. She likes running and I think I gave her too much time between her last run and Cheltenham last year. I’ll have to talk to Michael and Eddie (O'Leary) but I wouldn’t mind bringing her back here over two miles. She goes a bit right going to a hurdle but jumps it straight. She’s done that for the last two seasons but it doesn’t stop her.
The Church Gate does connections proud again
It was just a precaution as he got heat exhaustion a couple of times last year. We unsaddled him and got water on him but he’s fine. He’s done it well, and he works like a good horse at home. I’m probably better off giving him time between his races. I don’t know where we will go next. The plan was to go to Fairyhouse and then wait until Christmas, and we’ll make a plan again now.
