Redhotfillypeppers wins on chase debut
it was a nice opportunity for her but that's her game jumping fences, and it will bring out the best in her. Everyone one of the fences up the back she was gaining lengths and she'll go further as well. Class got her trough there but it was a good place to start her. We'll see the best of her over fences.
'Very unpredictable' Lilshane wins on a going day
He is very genuine but he is very unpredictable; sometimes when he gets to the start he whips around and rears up and passing the stable yard he can whip around left. I didn't even put a bob on him today as my aim was just to get him going (at the start). Kevin gets on well with him and long may it continue. I have his full sister, who runs later, and she has to go down early as she has a kink too. If she goes down with the other horses she bolts so it's in the family. anyone can send me a horse as long as it's a good one - I'm too old to be dealing with bad ones!
Espoir D'allen dynamic in Limerick
He was in the big one at Leopardstown so I decided to come here thinking it was the easier option but it was actually a very good race. For 50 or 100 yards it looked like he was in was in a small bit of bother but when he got going then he was good. He jumped the last well and went to the line well. He certainly seems to be growing up. I really don't know about (running in the Champion Hurdle) as he is only a four year old and I don't know where we'll go next. I'll chat to the lads (owner) but I wouldn't be in a hurry with him as next year will be his year.
Annamix beaten on Irish debut
'Job done' as Owl Creek Bridge lands Limerick gamble
they are happy owners and it's great to be able to repay these people. He is owned by two local bookmakers Dinny Gould, a friend of mine, and Brian Collins, from Askeaton and who has been an owner of mine for a long long time. Patrick Mullen is from county Meath and is a longtime friend from our time at the RDS in Dublin; he is big into the show-jumping and I got him involved in this horse and he is thrilled to bits. We were hoping he'd win and he did. He won a point-to-point and just wanted a step up in trip and soft ground suited. He wants a trip and will even stay further. Conor gave him an absolute peach of a ride and did exactly as we discussed.
It's Chosen Hour for Aherne and Enright
He did plenty for the last man who had him and won a handicap hurdle one day in Tipperary when he was very good. He is doing fine now and maybe the chance of scenery might have helped him. He's a big athletic horse, will jump a fence in time and you'd look forward to him going chasing. I'd like that, now. It was smashing!
