Charterhouse lands the odds in Curragh opener
Shandra takes Loder Fillies Race in fine style
Frenetic all speed in the Curragh
I blame myself for her in Naas. The best horse won on the day but I didn’t train her for that race and we ran as an afterthought which you can’t do. She’s in the Ballyhane race at Naas next week. We’ll do the right thing by the filly and if she is absolutely squealing and bouncing she might turn up. The Flying Childers is another possibility in Doncaster but with the way Covid is I’d like to campaign her here.
Delphi has the answers in Leger trial
O'Brien and Heffernan at double with Armory
Gold Maze takes best route home
It’s nice that he’s won his maiden. I’m not sure where he’ll go. He’s in various races and we’ll see. He loved that doing his own thing and the ground is right for him. He’ll only get better next year as a four-year-old.
Roving Mission succeeds at Headquarters
I thought he (Nathan Crosse) was very good on her from a wide draw. She settled, got into a lovely rhythm and she quickened all the way to the line. She deserved that as she’s been trying hard and just not getting home. She ran a great race in Galway from a bad draw. I’m delighted for the lads (Highland Bloodstock Limited) who are a syndicate from Kilkenny and Dubai.
Eleuthera times it right under O'Connor
He was unlucky in Naas the last day. He jumped very slow and when Donagh went for his race a gap closed and he accepted it. I saw this race close to home on a nice straight track and put a visor on to sharpen him up. He was very fit going to Naas so we didn’t do a whole lot with him. I’m delighted for the owners DMS who is Mark and Dave Hopkins and a few of their friends and John O’Riordan. He’s been very consistent all year for them.
