Babouche impresses in winning debut at Cork

She is a nice filly, is obviously well related and had been doing everything nicely at home. She has had to do it the hard way which wasn't fair on her but in fairness, she did it with her ears pricked. Colin was brilliant on her as he didn't take any chances. We'll see how she comes on - she'll tell us, and she is in the Balanchine (Airlie Stud) Stakes in two weeks time. We'll speak to Barry (Mahon, racing manager) and the family and will fill them in on how she is.

I'm delighted for the breeders Jimmy Murphy and Redpender Stud. He was head travelling lad to Paddy Mullins, loves his horses and is a very cute and clever man. Ciara had to mind the fort at home but his two lads are here so this is great. She is from a good family so it is important to get the win. I thought she was more suited to six or seven (furlongs) but she was in her comfort zone and in a lovely rhythm today and finished the race out very well.

McLoughlin registers second training success

that's my second winner and my previous win was also for this horse's owner Chris Mullins, who has been good to me and has also been lucky. After I gave Bold Optimist a break at the end of last year, he was showing loads of speed but at Naas (in May), he was on his head the whole way but still came home well to finish fifth. I ran him at the Curragh then but he 'gassed' it early and got knocked about. I knew with today's smaller field that at least he wouldn't get knocked down and he got to show himself. I entered him in the Rockingham at the Curragh (Derby weekend) in the hope he'd win today so we'll keep going and go with that race in mind.
