3rd time lucky for A New Dawn
She had a good run the last day and the drop back to six seemed to suit,. She's very tough, very genuine, and gives it her best shot. She's a nice little filly. I'd say that was a fair maiden, the second filly had form in Listed races, so I'd be hoping she'd get black-type.
Trueba another for in-form McCullagh
That will ease the pain of getting beat last week!. We've been giving out about all these draws as he was drawn 17 last week and 22 today. I thought he was going to struggle today from the draw. Niall said he was happy enough that last week he ran well in a similar sort of race and today we'd try and get him over a bit. Maybe we're reading too much into the draws here after the first couple of races today. Maybe it'll even itself out because there never was much of a bias here before on this track. Niall got him over and he said a stiff six or easy seven is his trip. Hopefully he can start improving now and creeping up the handicap a bit.
Sales bound D'orsay makes the breakthrough
I'm pleased for the horse as much as anything,. It's very hard to place a three-year-old over five furlongs in this country. They are all six furlong races or else you are taking on the older horses. He's goes to the July Sale. He's probably off quite a good mark on the basis of that so hopefully someone will pick him up. He's a sound little horse and is very straight-forward. He's fairly easy to recommend.
Frosty comes from last to first under Slattery
That was the plan. He rode her in Listowel and she just ran a bit keen with him. We agreed this time that he would take his time, get her switched off, get her to relax and ride her to come home. He's getting lots of practice winning these races and he's a very good young rider. His strike rate for me is pretty high.
Trethias on Classic trail following feature race win at Naas
Shane said she just needed that strong gallop. She just loved it and she’ll stay further. She relaxed and did everything right today. Today is the first time she’s put everything together. She got no run in Navan at all and everything went wrong, and then the last day probably things just didn’t go right either. Today everything went right. She had a good break since her last run and we’ll head now to the Oaks (on July 20th). She's beautifully bred as she's out of a half-sister to Dar Re Mi. She'll make a beautiful broodmare. She's now finally done what I thought she could always do.
Fahey & Hoban strike with Edification
He was very good. He has to be ridden that way, patiently, and Conor was very good on him,. Where we go next we don't know. Everything has to fall his way and it did today. When that happens he can be a good horse. We'll see what the handicapper does now.
Beautiful double for Donnacha O'Brien
She had good form. I think she wants further than that and wants a little bit slower ground but she was just good enough to win today,. She's a grand filly. Conditions weren't with her today but she put her head down and galloped to the line.
