Friend another for in-form Hogan
King collects with Champion-pace Clonmel double
for a horse that can jump well, he made a lot of mistakes - whether it was down to the ground, or the speed they were going, I'm not sure. He is awful tough and genuine though. Jumping was never an issue until today - he was very good at Limerick the last day so we will give him the benefit of the doubt. He'll continue in summer chases now and I'm delighted for Denis (Enright, from Ballylongford) who is a good supporter of the yard. Denis has had two horses with me and both has won three races each.

Well-backed Whatsyourstatus gains overdue win
that was a while coming and for a long time, we were scratching out heads wondering what to do with him. I though we would drop him back to 2m4f and make more use of him, he had gone down the ratings and truth be known, it wasn't the strongest race in the world. He took a run on softish ground at Downpatrick the last day and it helped get his confidence back. We had been at the end of our tether with him to get him healthy but takes minding, is trained out of a field now and they were things we had to learn. In fairness to the handicapper he had given him a chance also. we were in a yard from which I couldn't get him or any of the horses to run well and moved yards last August which has helped. I am currently renting a barn from Cormac Farrell in Bunclody and from August on am taking over the whole yard and will have room for 33 horses - I'll try to fill them.
