Third impresses in Navan opener
She had a little bit of a setback after Naas and that's why she hasn't ran since then. It was minor but with the bit of a break she grew and strengthened up. She's exceeded our expectations with the way she has won today. I've no plans for her at the moment but she could go for the seven-furlong Guineas Trial next season. She's a fast filly so I'm not sure how much farther she will get but seven around a bend at Leopardstown should be alright.

Jack takes Listed Treasure
Delighted to get that, and his last run told us he was back to his old self. He wants it a bit softer but it was lovely and safe there. He loved being in the bunch and getting a bit of cover. He never picked the stick up and he ran with great enthusiasm. That will give him a bit of confidence and set him up for next year. We were quiet for the last week or so and just backed off them a bit. The horses are well but it was nice that he confirmed that.
The Tide finally turns for Time at Navan
He’s a homebred and we always thought he had ability but he’s a big baby of a horse. He’s been taking his time to do it and I’m delighted for Trevor (Dalzell) who is a long-time supporter of mine. It was very hard to make a case for him looking at his form but on his home work it wasn’t. Finally he’s produced in the afternoon what he’s done in the morning. There is a race here in about ten days or he could go to Dundalk. We’ll run him somewhere as he hasn’t been busy.

Red does it again in Navan finale
It's been a very frustrating season with all of our horses as they need a bit of soft ground. It was great to get a bit of yielding ground today. I fancied him after the run up the Curragh where he was only beaten a length and three quarters and he was hampered twice. Simon (Torrens) pulled him up quickly the last day as he felt he'd struck into himself but he was fine afterwards. I'm delighted to get another win out of him and there is another sprint back here before the end of the season.
