More Cork joy for Hayes with Taramansour
revealed Hayes. The blinkers helped as well; I hadn't ridden him since before he ever ran last year and I thought he was a grand horse and he has more pace than I gave him credit for. The blinkers sharpened him as he's not un-genuine and is a grand straightforward horse. Options are open for him and I think he could come back two furlongs in trip if you wanted to. It's nice to ride a winner in these colours again, the previous time was last year.
Joseph O'Brien completes cross-card treble
Patience pays off with Hogan's Nebo
He has had a lot of problems; he had a very good run at the Curragh last year over a mile and was in such good form the following day he reared up and slapped over and broke his wither,. So he’s about an inch and a half smaller than he was last year and it took a lot of time and patience to get him back. Everything settled back but it took him a while to get going. His owners had the patience to wait and thankfully they were rewarded. Maybe we might look at the mile handicap at Galway or else go for a Listed race; it is depending on what attitude the handicapper takes. He is an exciting horse, he is only a small horse but carried 9st11lbs today.
