Review curragh 7th May

Windsor Palace upstaged his more illustrious stablemate St Nicholas Abbey in the High Chaparral EBF Mooresbridge Stakes at the CurraghMon 07th May

Foley flying at the Curragh

No doubt Kilkenny's demolition of Cork at Thurles yesterday brought a smile to the face of Shane Foley and the Graiguenamanagh native had further cause for joy at the Curragh today when he completed a 69/1 double on Ondeafears in the Newbridge Credit Union Handicap. Mon 07th May

Gossamer Seed rises to career high

John Murphy told an Irish Field stable tour back in September 2010 that Gossamer Seed was "the most exciting two-year-old filly that we've had for a long time. It would be no surprise to me if she went all the way." Well the now four-year-old daughter of Choisir reached the high-point of her thirteen race life when stylishly landing the Group 3 European Breeders Fund Athasi Stakes at the Curragh. Mon 07th May

Anam doesn't disappoint as Weld records treble

Dermot Weld recorded a treble on the day and his tenth winner of the week as his Anam Allta took the valuable Arthur Guinness EBF Fillies Handicap under Pat Smullen who was recording a quick double and his eight winner of the week. Thu 28th Jul

Review cork 16th Oct

Gossamer Seed doesn't disappoint

Ottelo Finetto's colours have been a feature of John Murphy runners for many years and the Swedish man who resides in France has a nice prospect on his hands in the shape of Gossamer Seed, odds-on winner of the Irish Stallion Farms European Breeders Fund Median Auction Race at Cork. Sat 16th Oct

Review tipperary 6th Aug

Snow Watch put up a smart performance to dispense with some decent two-year-olds in the Coolmore Hurricane Run Stakes at TipperaryFri 06th Aug

Tom Sawyer wins Tipperary opener

The Aidan O’Brien trained Tom Sawyer made it third time lucky in the Mocklershill Stables Maiden at Tipperary today. Fri 06th Aug

After race at Curragh Mon, 7th May, 2012 (1st)

Dad is gone to a camogie match to see my sister Sophie in action. This filly will probably go for another stakes race in a month and then she'll likely get a break.

John Joseph Murphy

After race at Sligo Tue, 28th Jun, 2011 (1st)

Ben said she hated the ground. We'll probably aim her at a better race over seven. Maybe a Listed contest,. She may get a spin to England. Ben gave her a great ride.

John Joseph Murphy

After race at Cork Sat, 16th Oct, 2010 (1st)

We've always thought a lot of her and she could be anything. We'll leave her off now until the spring and then step her up in distance.
