Sherry rides first winner in Dundalk's opener

Claimer winner New Story begins next chapter

Motivated Ballydoyle filly completes hat-trick

she's just a progressive filly. She always worked nicely at home but it just took her a while to get her act together on the track but she's showing the ability she has now. She travels beautiful; before, she was kind of quitting off it but now she's quickening and galloping out off it. The second favourite (Carried) was in front of me so I wanted to put him to bed when I could and then worry about what was coming from behind me after that. She's probably not far off being capable of getting some black-type - she has ability, but I don't know if there is anywhere she can go at this time of year.

Ex-French Unpretentious wins on Irish debut

Keane 'picks' boss Lyons' Pockets

I rode her the first day in Tipperary and I was mad about her. Niall (McCullagh) said she ran a little bit keen with him the last day so he said to drop her in, take our time with her and get her to spit it out, which she did today and she came home well. She's still a big frame of a filly and hopefully they'll have plenty of fun with her next year when she grows into herself. She's still a bit green but I suppose it's the first time she's hit the front and especially under the lights they can go off a little bit.

Cromwell's Yaiza foils gamble on newcomer

I fancied her coming here and then I saw all the money for Ger's (eventual runner-up Elegant Drama) so it was a bit of a worry. She'll go another furlong and we'll see what the handicapper does; we might go for something else up here as she seemed to handle the surface fine - it was a little bit unknown if she would handle it. I thought in the straight she might just be done for gears but she got away with it grand. I was a little but worried that he didn't set sail with her a bit earlier and get her rolling but she's game. She'll be a lovely three-year-old as she's a big scopey filly and she has a great attitude. She's a playful messer but she's a game filly.

Ryker scores for Halford/Coakley

he's a grand big horse, likes it around here and has plenty of size and scope to him. That's a good trip for him and we just put the cheekpieces on him as he was idling a little bit. It just helps him concentrate. We'll keep tipping away with him, he's still relatively lightly raced and is getting the hang of it now - it's a big difference when they go into handicap company. He had a wide draw tonight and Ross did well on him; he got him in and got a little bit of cover and once he relaxed he was always happy.

Clare Island lands Dundalk's finale

it was probably wasn't the greatest 0-65 but she did it nicely. Hopefully the handicapper won't give her too much for that and she'll hopefully get her head in front again.
