Dundalk course specialist claims another win
he's a grand horse and loves that all-weather track. He was prolific for Pat Flynn but has been a bit disappointing for us up until now but he's done the job tonight. He was tough out in front - I thought they might get past him because he didn't finish great the last day here but he stuck at it well. I don't think there is much left for him here now. He'll come back in the autumn, I suppose.
Bolger filly 'paying her way' with third win
Bolger's 16yo apprentice wins on debut ride
Halford victorious with Vincy
he's babyish and got a bit of a bump early on but Shane said it just took him a while to get back travelling again,. Our horses generally come forward for a run and he did that from his first run. He's a lovely mover but he's a horse that is still quite babyish so we'll probably take our time with him now. Paul (Rooney, owner) bought him off us after his first run - Paul has plenty of patience and I'm delighted he's won for him. We won't be in any rush with him and he likes a nice surface. We had him tipping along there and it's nice to get a bracket for him. We'll see where we go from there.
Khabaray gives O'Brien third winner
Rosebud maintains unbeaten record this year
she seemed to have come forward nicely from her first win here. We were happy with her coming in and Wayne said everything went right for her. She settled well today and they went a good pace. I was a bit concerned stepping up to a mile that she mightn't settled well enough but they went hard, she switched off and picked up well. She may come back here before this (winter series) ends as she handles the surface well, but I would think she'll like the grass. She's going the right way and I'd imagine she'll even get further in time but a mile is far enough at the minute.
Halford & Foley double up with Shannon Soul
he's (Shannon Soul) just slow out of the gates all the time and the smaller fields suit him. He gets every yard of it (seven furlong trip) well and they went a good gallop, which helped, and Shane gave him a good ride. It's nice to get another one with him and there wasn't anything for him over a mile and that race looked like a nice race for him. He's real genuine, tries hard and the blinkers just help him concentrate. We seem to have the key to him now and he's going the right way. I think ground is important to him and a level track. It's nice to have that done with him now and we'll sort of pick our way along with him.
On-fire Foley completes hat-trick haul
we took him here last week for a piece of work before racing and he impressed us. He quickened up well there and it was an average enough race; in these type of races everything has to go to plan and it happened to go to plan for him. It was good to get him back in action and he's been a very good servant to me. I don't know if he'll get into another 45-65 — I doubt it but there are a couple of races coming up for him so we'll just have to try our best.
