Hawke does Ballygallon and Murtagh proud
In his bid for a Dundalk treble, Colin Keane travelled into the Listed Carlingford Stakes, aboard the patiently handled Elusive Heights, like a dream in the straight. However anyone that prematurely reckoned on the hat-trick being landed didn't bargain for the determination shown by 5/4 favourite Hawke who landed the spoils under Pat Smullen. Fri 14th Oct

After race at Navan Fri, 8th Jul, 2016 (1st) 
It's nice to end on a high. It was maybe a bit bottley of me to come here but he had such a fall. He's a very head shy horse and we took our time with him so that was the last thing we needed at the Curragh. This looked the ideal place to bring him and see how everything lay. I thought he came out of it well. Going forward we'll look at going ten furlongs. He's crying out for a step up and is a nice horse on the improve. He'll hold an entry for the Topaz Mile but I don't think he's man enough or has enough race craft to handle the hustle and bustle of Galway. The thinking behind coming here was that he might not be ready for Galway. I'll take a more long term view with him.
