Like Magic for Smullen
Pat Smullen was seen to good effect when winning The Panoramic Restuarant Auction Race aboard Like Magic trained by Pat Martin for owners Kinda Magic Syndicate. Mon 04th Aug
For once we got the tactics right. I was talking to Eddie Lynam before the race and I asked him where the pace was going to come from. He said we could get a soft lead and that's the way it worked out though it's unfortunate that Eddie was the one to suffer. This horse has always had the ability but things haven't always gone his way. He ran well on fast ground at the Curragh a couple of runs back but he may have been feeling the effects of it when running on similar ground at Cork (down the field) last time. That nice ground there was a help to him.
Patrick Martin
Andrew is a very intelligent rider and he is good value for claiming five pounds off those high weights. Like Magic is in a good vein of form at the moment. He travelled well through the race. If we still have him he could go for a claimer at Laytown.
