Invasion has his Day in Cork opener
I'm very happy with that and he has stepped up from the last day. He was very green the first day and has done what we had hoped he'd do and win his maiden. He idled in front due to a little weakness and he is a tall horse who Colin said would appreciate seven furlongs. We'll likely wait to run him over seven now and let him fill out his frame. He'll grow up to be a nice horse. Colin said it is lovely quick flat ground.
Count just prevails under Hayes for McLoughlin
We were worried about the ground even though he has won on it before but he ran very well the last day when it was heavy ground here. He is so ground-versatile. On heavy ground they come back to him but on good ground they don't. He usually waits until October to win a race, so whatever he does now the pressure is off! . He is in again at Sligo on Tuesday and if he's okay we might go.
Dandys gains her third 'Gold'
she brings the money in!. we'll give her a little break now as she's had three quick races recently. The ground was very heavy at the Curragh a week ago but she ate up afterwards and she is hardy, so we said we'd take a shot at this.
Most Gifted makes all under Heffernan
Heffernan & O'Brien complete quick double
Rockfish scores second success for O'Brien brothers
he is stepping up with each run and he won off 51 tonight and in that grade he'll be able to be competitive. A mile and a quarter is a nice trip for him and he'll go hurdling later in the year. He ran on bad ground a few times but didn't perform on it so needs that good ground.
Madden & McConnell on the mark with Hope
We liked her last year and I even backed her at 66/1 in her first maiden but it was a very good maiden and things just didn't go right for her after that. She had shown plenty of ability at home and if she put it in on the track she'd have a chance and obviously she had a low mark. She is tall and a lot of those Casamento's are backward and she is particularly tall and angular. We haven't planned beyond today.
