Impressive Senor

Punters didn't want to know about much else bar Senor Mirasol (6/4 in the morning and returned 4/5) for the Listed Danehill Dancer Tipperary Stakes and they hadn't many worries as Neil Callan sent the English raider to win his race over a furlong out, going on to defeat Nubar Lady by two and a half lengths.

After race at Dundalk Fri, 20th Nov, 2009 (1st)

I thought the other one would win but when I pulled her out to load her she was lame. I rang Michael Grassick but it was too late for him,. She's been unlucky here a few times and is entitled to win a race. She was placed three times here last year. She's in again next week, both on Wednesday and Thursday, but I don't know if she'll get in. We might send her to England. I have a few races picked out for her there. Liam (Queally) might keep her over there or that might be enough for her now that she's won.
