'Springer' Impala wins for Stack/Lordan

he’s been a bit disappointing since winning here in the spring,. said Fozzy Stack. We tried the cheekpieces on him tonight and they worked. He’ll most likely go to the horses-in-training sale at Doncaster.

Bonus for Bolger as Christmas starts early!

November Tale wins in three-way photo finish

we took a gamble over seven furlongs but it paid off; she wants a mile now and definitely a mile-and-a-quarter next year. She’ll be a nice filly and is after blooming in the last few months. She has really come to herself and has a beautiful coat on her today. She’s a typical Casamento and will make a nicer three-year-old. There wouldn’t be much for her now and she’s done her job now as a two-year-old. We’ll treat her with a bit of respect.

Stack/Lordan double up with HK-bound winner

he was a bit disappointing here on his first run but he’s not a bad horse - he’s a nice horse. He belongs to a Hong Kong client Mr Chiu; he owned a good Dylan Thomas horse in Hong Kong called Blazing Speed and I’d say he (Thunder Speed) will end up in Hong Kong eventually; it’s just a matter of when.

Four year old scores eighth career win

he worked really well last Saturday but my one worry was whether the young lad (Danny Sheehy) would get on with him but he did exactly what I asked him to do. I said there would be a hard pace and let him find his own level and keep him covered for as long as you can - it was a smashing ride and he looks a very promising young fella. this horse has improved all the time and he loves this place and if you can get a hard pace and a bit of cover he puts in an effort now. He wasn’t always as resolute as he is now but he’s getting tough.

Lyons & Keane complete Dundalk double

she was very professional and it was very important she got her bracket because she is a half-sister to Big Orange (fifth in the 2015 Melbourne Cup). Her main thing this year was to win because the owner (Patrick Cosgrove) is a breeder. It’s the first horse we’ve had from him so we’re delighted. It’s only her third run and she’s improved at home every month she’s been with us and her family seem to be an improving family. We’ll have a good think now to see whether we’ll try for some black-type or whether she goes in foal - that’ll be the owner’s decision.

Murtagh exceeds yearly target at Dundalk

that’s 35 winners for the year - I targeted 25 so we’ve had a great year. She handles the track well and I thought she’d win a couple of races this year - the handicapper seems to have her level. We’ll keep her going for January and February and she’s paying her way and is a grand filly. She’ll probably get a bit stronger next year.
