Operatic Export impresses on debut
We knew she was a nice filly but thought she might be a bit greener than she was,. She has real prospects, thankfully, and we'll have to have a look at the Debutante now.
Ducky scores again over six at Leopardstown
We went in and then came out a bit but I thought he kept him fairly straight,. We've run him four times in the last few weeks which seems an awful lot. I used to look after this horse and run him every four weeks. He's turned out very nicely and we're very happy the way he fought back today. Obviously six furlongs around here is a trip he likes. I know he's not young but maybe he'll be back next year. The young lad gave him a lovely ride. I asked him not to go for him quick but to start it up slowly and to be fair he did. He did a nice job.
Sheila's Hope back on the winning trail
She bounced back and I'd say the ground was a big factor the last day. I was even worried about this ground being too slow for her,.
Madhmoon makes impressive debut for Prendergast
We've always thought he was a nice horse. You are always afraid of Aidan's but we thought he'd have to be something special to beat our fella today,. He has good finishing speed and hopefully he can go on from here. That's as fast as he's ever gone in his life and hopefully he can repeat it a few times. We'll have to discuss plans now with his owner Sheikh Hamdan.
Mrs Harrington's Pincheck takes the feature at Leopardstown
They went hard and it kind of suited him. He settled behind Donnacha, kicked off the bend and he was never going to stop,. He loves it here. He won his maiden here and has been just touched off here a few times. I think it kind of suits him coming round the bend. That's brilliant to get. His owners Jon and Sarah Kelly are coming over for Champions Weekend so I better find something for him. I have him entered there (Boomerang Stakes). He's a miler and the reason I haven't run him all summer is because of the firm ground. He's a very big horse and probably would be alright on it now but I'd rather keep him right. He's in Killarney next week but I'll give Marshall Jennings a chance there.
230/1 Leopardstown brace for Mrs Harrington and O'Donoghue
Like uncle like nephew with Leopardstown debut winners
It was pure jealousy on my part. I couldn't let Kevin have the spotlight!.
