Dream strikes again at Dundalk
We kept him fresh. I suppose it is hard to win two up here, but the handicapper didn't kill him the last day. He doesn't win by lengths either, he just does enough. He has been such a fun horse for us since we bought him, he wasn't a very expensive horse and we have had so much fun with him. He's a real all-weather specialist. He has won on the grass as well and the boys will have plenty of fun with him before the year is out as well. We knew we needed a fast pace - usually if there is a good, fast pace and you've a half-decent horse in it, it will suit them. In all fairness to Cian, he gave him a great ride. He sat lovely in the top four or five and just let the race unfold. Some lads would panic, but he didn't. He could be an All-Weather Championships horse before the year is out. There are plenty of good pots over there now in England, so we might travel. There's not a huge amount here that is going to suit him, we will see what the handicapper does to him now.

The young fella was excellent on him and everything went well. He is good value for his 5lb. He has got a bit heavy for the Flat, he had no saddle there. Very good rider, and a good lad, Ben, ahead of him. We'll mix and match with him, he won over hurdles in Wexford and he won (on the Flat) in Roscommon with Jake's brother Ben and Ben, who is away at the moment, had a word with him last night and told him what to do.
Horgan in Dundalk Dreamland with first treble
He probably didn't see out the (two-mile) trip the last day, but he saw it out there tonight. Hugh rode a filly for me, Trishuli River, and I was really impressed with that. I know he might be winning with good-calibre horses with Joseph (O'Brien) and doing everything right, but I think he is an old head on young shoulders. The feedback is very good and even there today we were last into the stalls because we can be awkward, and he was trotting him around behind the stalls to keep the horse warm - he is thinking the whole time. I'd rather have him on my side than not!. If he (Dreams Fled Away) eats up and we give him an easy week, and if everything is good, we'll have a look at the calendar and see what is over 1m4f.
