Gary gets Tom there in nick of time
He played him late anyway! He has to be ridden that way. We've found a way to ride him and he's consistent when you ride him that way.
Halford's Games a big hit at Dundalk
Thank God for Dundalk! I'm waiting on ground for a lot of horses. The ground was a bit slow in Naas and I think he just didn't stay,.
Koybig comes good in Dundalk
The lads (Terry Whyte and Patrick White) are getting great enjoyment from him. He's a big horse and has been slow in maturing. He had two runs last year and was a bit green in a handicap last time. Shane had to be very strong on him.
Fields Of Athenry in fine tune at Dundalk
He's been impressive at home. He'll get further. He's going the right way and perhaps we could look at a Listed race.
Whitehaven justifies the support in style
The Mugs (Syndicate, winning owners) are all my family and I bought this one as a foal. I saw her walking in the ring and I liked her and paid 1,500 for her. I have to thank Bill Dwan who said to go one more bid.
No fuss for Keane and Fog
I came here thinking Game Set Dash (4/6, 2nd to Fields Of Athenry in race four) was my best chance and he was beaten by Fields Of Athenry who I think could be a proper Group One horse. I have possibly the worst record in racing in the world when horses are odds on! . It is as short a trip as Fog Of War wants. He wants every inch of a mile and a half minimum. He loved the surface. Colin said he was hanging and he thought it was through loneliness. I'll never run him over that trip again.
Three for 'Dusty' at odds of 740/1 at Dundalk
He's been unlucky but he stayed well and won nicely. He's been showing more pace recently. He's owned by Sean Dalton, an auctioneer in Longford. He'll go jumping and he jumps very well.
