Benefit proves too good for Exxaro
We have been waiting along time for that. She had some good form last year but had a lot of trouble with her shins. I thought she would need the run this evening as she hadn't run since October. She jumps well and has good point-to-point experience and she just idled a bit in front.
Mac justifies favouritism under Cooper
Barry & Thornton on the mark with Dream
His last run seemed to be good enough, and he was entitled to win. Johnny was superb on him, and he looked like a professional. He'll probably go to Down Royal next Friday for a similar handicap, and have a break after that.
Doyle doubles-up with Corrigs
He jumps fences way better than hurdles, and wants that ground. The quicker the better, and we'll keep him on the go over the summer.
Damefirth an easy winner under Lynch
Pakidis records first winner under NH rules
We have been waiting for that ground and trip, and we knew he was in very good form.
Vinnie provides O'Shea with second success
I love this horse to bits and he's very tough and hardy. He has tonnes of ability. He was bred by Padraig O'Donovan (from Cloyne) and owned by him and his three sons. Padraig's not too well at the moment so hopefully this will prove a good tonic.
