Review navan 16th Feb

Catch Me (4-9 favourite) was a class above his rivals in the Boyne Hurdle and made it four wins from as many starts this season in impressive fashionMon 16th Feb

Siegemaster Best in Eventful Heat

Despite an indifferent round of jumping (particularly two out) Siegemaster justified 11/8 favouritism in the Ten Up Novice Chase to complete a double for Davy Russell. The Corkonian had earlier landed one of the other Grade 2s on the programme, aboard Made In Taipan. Mon 16th Feb

Davy Russell is riding at the top of his game at present and his confidence was particularly in evidence as he brought up a twelve and a half to one treble on Nuvelli in the Christmas Chase. Sat 06th Dec

Co Wexford based trainer Philip Redmond saddled Florida Express to win The Glen Chase at odds of 33/1 under Shane Jackson. Thu 27th Nov

After race at Cork Sun, 4th Apr, 2010 (1st)

The deeper the ground the better and there is no point in running him unless it's like that. He has to have it at least soft to heavy. Unless the weather stays like this he'll go out to grass. That's probably my biggest training success.

Philip Redmond

After race at Thurles Thu, 27th Nov, 2008 (1st)

We were expecting a good run today but didn't think he'd win. He's improved plenty and loves the heavy ground and would stay forever. I have my training licence out a year and that's my second winner on the track.
