Go Forty Go digs deep in Tramore
O'Brien on the mark again at Tramore
I'm delighted for John (Grant) who kept him when things weren't working out for him last year. This is John's local track and he heads up the syndicate (Fastey For Fun Syndicate). We had his palate fired and it seems to have made an awful difference. He is after improving and he is finishing out his races.
A six-day hat-trick for Eshtiaal!
Avant Tout gives Mullins and Walsh double
He schooled at home and I thought he was very sharp for a novice, that's why I said I'd let him take his chance over two miles. I thought his jumping would give him a chance.
Ballyfinboy a notable winner for Sexton
Coffee Cantata gallops home strongly
Those colours were registered in 1975 and that is their first winner. So perseverance pays! Fiona (Hughes) owns and bred her and she has been my vet for years. She gave me this filly to train and I'm delighted to get a winner for her. She had a very nice run the first day and she was bound to improve from it. I couldn't believe when I saw 8/1 in the ring. She is a lovely straightforward filly and she is an absolutely super jumper. We are looking forward to her going jumping and she is from the family of Seskin Bridge. She has a lovely pedigree. She will keep going for the summer. We might give her a small break now.
