O'Neill rides 2nd winner in Ireland on Musical Slave

I'm delighted. He stayed on very well. I was a bit concerned that the lack of pace might not be in our favour but in the end he kept going very well,. Jonjo was very good. He said he got in a little bit of trouble once or twice but with all those runners you'll always get a little bit. It was probably the right thing to bring him to the outside in the end and he stayed on well. I presume he's finished for the season and he'll have a good summer off. He wouldn't be wanting fast ground anyway, that wouldn't be his job. He was entered at Sandown on Friday in a 100,000 pound race but we wouldn't have been running on fast ground and that's why he came here. He can go chasing at any stage, he jumps very well, and that will be his long term job but when that will be I'm not sure.

Zero Ten lands Red Mills Final

We're delighted and it's a great pot for this series,. It's brilliant for the middle market at the sales and it's going to create huge interest at the upcoming stores sales this year. He's a very versatile horse and I'd imagine we'll keep him on the go for the rest of the summer and he might end up at the Galway festival. The Mees' season kind of revolves around Galway and I'd say we'll be mapping a route to there. Where he'll pitch up I'm not so sure. He's a point-to-point winner so chasing is another option but he's a very versatile horse. He won his bumper around there and I'd say he'd have the gears if we went the Flat route. I have about 15 horses for the track at the minute and it's great when you have horses like this to put your name up in lights on a big day like today.

McManus dominating on day two at Punchestown

I held my breath when Mark sent her through on the inside because she wouldn't be the fastest filly in the world,. She gallops all day and jumps very well. He just committed her, if it didn't work out I don't know where he would have ended up — through the rails I'd say. Anyway he got through and it worked out. Charlie Swan bought her as a chaser in France because she's such a good jumper but she's not the biggest so we said we'd hold off for a year and maybe go chasing next season. We'll see now after that race where we go. I'll have a chat with Frank and JP and see what they want to do. There are hurdle races to be won with her still. She could go back to France. They could decide they want to go chasing straight away also and there could be mares chases there if we keep getting this broken weather and the ground is nice. I'd imagine she'll go to France but the only thing is that JP doesn't run too many over there and he's inclined to get them back and put them on grass. Because of the type of filly she is we might let her travel but we'll see and it will be up to him to decide.

Niall (Flynn, owner) rang me up the other day and said she'd won the mares bumper last year so let's go for the Champion bumper. I thought 'well why not',. He was hoping that she might get some black-type and finish second or third. Jamie worked the oracle and managed to squeeze a win out of her. She goes jumping now. She's a fine big mare, she can jump and she'll go over fences eventually.
