Winning debut for Newtown Anner's Unreasonable

Lord Vader unleashes the force

he has been a tricky horse, has plenty of good form this year without getting his head in front and it was nice to find a simple enough five-runner race. Colin was good on him, kept it uncomplicated and the cheekpieces were a help too. Buying him, we didn't think we'd be winning a maiden but it was this time of year on fast ground and his experience stood to him. Hopefully he can go on now.

King Cuan absolutely regal in Cork

Going to the Curragh I thought he'd run a big race and things didn't happen right that day. I gave him time to mature and to fill his frame and he confirmed today what he did in May. I think he enjoyed it and he is a quick horse. We are lucky to have some nice two-year-olds and I'd rate him with them. There is a €100,000 race (Goffs Sportsman's Challenge) next weekend at Naas for him and his owners are mostly Naas-based.

Ragga Bomb ignites in Cork

Colin was delighted, but he is a weak horse so this was a bonus. We'll go back to the drawing boards at home now, but I'd say that could be it (for the year) as he will strengthen up an awful lot for next year. This ground helped but we were worried weakness would get the better of him. He won well there and seven (furlongs) is his trip, but it is all about next year with him. We have always liked him and he was bought as a foal from (trainer) Clive Cox who is a good friend of Ger's and that's a good omen.

The Caribbean has his day in the sun

Han Solo has the force in Cork

We put blinkers on him at home last Friday and we couldn't hold him!. I couldn't see the first three furlongs (of the race) because of the sun, so I was listening to the commentator and hoping he was looking at the right horse. He (Powell) said to drop him back to six (furlongs) and we will look to Listowel now.
