Strategic shrugs aside assessors hike
They are all fairly exposed and he is fresh. He won it well and there is a race for him here next week.
Captains makes all to take the second
He has been very difficult to train and to ride, but Gary did well on him.
Fastidious shows his speed
He won well and I thought he would run well, but I thought he might need it. He hasn't been off the bridle at home this year. The race kind of fell into his lap, but he galloped all the way to the line. I doubt you will see him back here, I was giving him the run to have him right. I wanted to get a run into him here.
American Girl impresses on her debut
I'm an overnight success after forty years! . I'm a breeder more than a trainer but Coolmore gave me a few to pre-train. She is a little bit quirky, she is a very well-bred filly and we knew she was nice, but we don't have much to try her against. She looks quite decent and she will go for a Listed race or something.
Well-backed Master scores under O'Donoghue
That's lovely, it's great and he is going the right way.He is progressing, but the plan is still to go to a sale with him. He might go to the sale before Royal Ascot. We will see what the handicapper does, but we will come back here for something similar.
Insured records Well deserved win
Double for Heffernan as Clare prevails
He has got a great record around here, that is his third win and he has three seconds here as well. He is consistent and he takes a fair bit of work. He will be up again here in the next few weeks we will see what comes up for him.
Smullen doubles up as Carried takes the last
He's been so consistent and he is a joy to train. He is just improving and it is lovely when a horse moves up through the ranks. Pat rode him positively and he stays.
