Boyfriend impresses on debut for Lyons
Lyons and Keane double up with Specter
At Down Royal (finished sixth over ten furlongs) we felt he didn't stay. He travelled well until around a furlong and a half out and Gary (Carroll) said to drop him back,. This place is lucky for us and he got a lovely run through. He relished the trip and is very genuine. He's a nice big, scopey horse and will do a good job for someone else in October.
Protocol battles bravely for Foley
He had to be brave with ten stone, and would probably not want the ground that bad. Shane said he was a willing partner,. He should get better with racing, although the more rain that fell the more worried I was. He's in the July Sales next Friday.
Jembatt strikes again for Mulvany
Chris said he won much easier than the last time he rode him and always travelled a bit sweeter. I don’t know where he will go next. He’s a tough old horse and would nearly drive the lorry for you!
Romantic & Rogers back in winners enclosure
Romanesque strikes on debut for Donnacha
He's a good genuine horse. He's done plenty of work but normally they are green at the Curragh first time out never mind here. He did well to win.
Hostile too hot to handle
