Belle makes winning debut for Lavery

She's a filly that had a little setback in the spring, but I'm just delighted with her. She just wants to please, a great attitude. She is small and speedy, and I think there is more to come because I don't think she even knew that she has had a race. I'll just see now as she has not had a break, so she might have a break and then I'll look at the programme. She's a six-furlong filly. She has a bit of filling out to do and I think she is going to grow a little bit, not a huge amount. She won on pure ability.

Nahori another nice pick up for Gibney and Haigney

Kevin (Haigney) spotted her at the sales - she had her problems over there and they didn't get her to the track. We said we would give it a go training her and if we got her there, great, and if we didn't, Kevin was keen to breed from the family anyway. He is already breeding from her sister. Either way, we were delighted to have her. She has a fantastic attitude like her sister. She did a couple of nice bits of work and we were hoping she would run well, so we are very pleased. It looks like it (get another furlong) there today. Job done and we can relax for a couple of days!

Keilee collects for Murphy

She deserved that. We came here a few evenings and it just probably didn't work out for her. They were very good runs. I think 'Dusty' got it very right this evening, we just said we would keep it simple and have a good go at it. In fairness to the filly, she produced the goods as well. She is training really well at home and we have been really happy with her. We said we would come back here for Christmas for the lads and it has worked out lovely.

Cheers collects Again back at Dundalk

We had awful problems with allergies last year and, in fairness, John (Raymond Eastwood, owner) is very patient. He just had the patience to give him the time. We found out late in the year that he is allergic to a lot of stuff that horses shouldn't be allergic to like hay. He is on a special vaccine now that seems to have done the trick. We thought we would have him back for Galway and we probably shouldn't have run him. We were training him and we just ran him. He does like the surface but I don't think it is essential, he had a great run in a premier handicap in Cork last year. I'd love to win the Lincoln with him, I think he could be good enough. I don't think soft ground will bother him. If I do that, I'll probably do a little tidy up on his wind after Christmas.

Riyami strikes again back at two miles

The last day the trip beat us and he was unlucky. Really he is a hard ride over 1m4f because you need them to go very hard and they didn't. We thought he was going to be a very nice horse - we bought him from Mick Halford but he was a bit backward and took time to come to hand. He could probably go back over hurdles, he is actually entered on Monday at Leopardstown. It would need to be good ground, though.

Hourigan two from two at Dundalk this month

Important win for Susanna

Freescape has Winter Derby target after landing Dundalk finale

He would have been favourite if he hadn't run the last day (finished eighth). He kind of clipped heels and whether he just got a bit unbalanced or whatever, I don't know. We decided to run a bit more positively tonight and the fractions looked good at halfway, so were delighted. We were in the right place. He's a very good horse and he's a very dangerous horse around here. He's a super horse to own, he's eight and he thinks he's three!. He'll have one more run here and he'll get an entry in the Winter Derby. It has been transferred this year to Southwell from Lingfield. Southwell will suit him better than Lingfield.
