Trading Point ends frustrating spell for English
That was badly needed. I’ve been having a frustrating season with 13 seconds and haven’t had a winner since Bellewstown.

Heliac takes the "Red God" on the way to better things
It’s a long between drinks with me and Chris. Amourallis was his first big winner and he rode it for me (winning the featured 100,000 seven-furlong handicap on the Sunday of the Galway Festival in 2004), and I think that’s his second winner for me now. She’s a filly I like and you can see the way we protected her. Chris has just said we’ll have great fun with her next year. I’ve always thought of her as a potential Stakes horse but not at three. She’s going to mature over the winter and I’d say that’s going to be it subject to talking to Teddy and the team. I’d like to put her away and look after her for next year. This was a big target to prove whether she was good enough to stay on the team or not. It’s a nice pot to win. She’s still a bit weak but she will stay further. The future is bright for her and it takes a nice three-year-old to win that race. Thankfully the surface is riding well and horses are coming home grand which is the main thing. As far as I’m concerned it’s a Grade 1 track as long as the surface is riding as it should be.
Tartlette impresses on debut for Crawley
I’m delighted for the lads (Eyeroller Syndicate which includes Niall O’Reilly from Paddy Power). They approached me in the spring and said they would like to get involved so we picked out her at the July Sale,. She’s turned inside out since we got her. I just keep her out in the field and keep her happy. We were quietly confident coming here today. Her half-brother won three over fences and the Champs Elysees’ are known for jumping hurdles so she could go that way next spring or summer time.
McConnell team delights supporters in Dundalk nightcap
We knew he had a race in him off that mark but the draw was putting me off and the surface was a bit of an unknown,. He had a very bad accident around this time last year. He got a very bad cut and we nearly lost him so that’s why he was off the track for so long. Hopefully he’ll make up for lost time now.
