McManus winners left right and centre this Thursday afternoon

I'm delighted he built on his Punchestown win although I don't know how strong a race it was,. He was grand and jumped away well and she gave him a lovely ride; Aine had ridden once on Teacher's Pet for me and that was her first winner for me. We'll see what Frank (Berry, JP McManus' racing manager) says, he's a horse who you wouldn't pull out too quickly and wants space between his runs.

Industrious Codd puts trip to Tipp to very good use

I don't ever remember having a runner here!. We bought her out of Denis Cullen's and only have her about six weeks. We bought her for cousins of my wife so it was nice to get that for them as they spent plenty of money on her. Hopefully she is lucky now. I've been following from her run at Navan, and to me she looked like a filly who wanted better ground - that's why I was coming here but it turned out to be the opposite although it was an ideal race for her and we had to take our chance. Jamie says she'll be a lot better on better ground and we might run in the Listed mares' bumper in Fairyhouse on Easter weekend. We'll leave hurdling to next season.
