Fizz sparkles in Tipperary opener
She hasn't been the easiest to train and tends to hang on the flat,. Since she started jumping she started enjoying it but we were probably riding her the wrong way. She settled well today, did everything the right way, her jumping was great and hopefully we'll have a good summer with her. I think tactics was the key to her today and we let her bowl along and let her enjoy herself. She had been the most frustrating filly I have ever trained believe it or not as she'd work over everything at home but we couldn't get the best out of her on the track. Hopefully it's upwards and onwards now and we'll stay over hurdles now - the flat seems to bring out the worst in her!
Brune backs up in style
As I said yesterday, the horse always ran keen and yesterday I said to jump him off (in front) and see what happens and it happened,. He ate a good bit last night, drank his water and we gave him electrolytes and let him off this morning. He has started to settle now but I hunted him a good bit this spring - I have a pack of hounds for the Premier Harriers. I have horses running on the track for 30 years and other fellas would have given up years ago - that's my drug!
Dolly also does it from front
Baby back with another win for Hourigan
She is a good money-spinner and she is after growing two inches over the summer; she is not small now,. I'm delighted having a winner as I thought I had forgotten how to do it! . I don't know where we go next but any time I wanted her she has won when fresh. I didn't enter her for Ballinrobe on Tuesday as you wouldn't pull her out quick.
Stacks strikes with easy win on return
Ask has Answers as Townend doubles up
He is a big horse, he needed plenty of time and is going the right way which is a help,. We thought he might be a real soft ground horse but Paul had a different opinion and said he'd handle it as long as there was a little give in it during the summer. He is owned by a good man (Eoin Barry) who is a big help to me. Eoin is from Tallow and is based in Boston and we had a horse Beantown together which was beaten a neck at Cheltenham (in 2006). He has two or three horses in training with me and is a big help to me.
