Settle For Red best in the claimer
That's his trip. We tried him over a mile and a quarter the last day and while he did get it they just didn't go quick enough. He dictated it there today and Pat gave him a great ride,. In that grade he's grand. He's been a great horse for us, winning seven times, and has a great constitution.
Fairy impresses as Smullen doubles up
She's a smart filly. She loves the surface and is a real good moving filly. She had a run here in November and was very green on the night so we said we'd take our time with her,. Pat said she rode like a really nice filly. It wasn't the plan to make it but from his wide draw he got up there handy, and she picked up in the style of a nice filly. I think she's a Stakes filly and if I'm happy with her on Monday morning I might make an entry for her here next Friday night in the Listed (Patton Stakes) race. It's not ideal because I was waiting for that fillies only maiden.

Big punt on Twomey's Editorial landed
He's a nice horse and I felt he was ready to have a run. It looked a nice place to start,. He got left in the gate and was green in the race so I'd imagine he'll come forward a good bit from it. I haven't done a lot with him.

McDonogh back on home duty with a winner
Ineffable's win makes Sweeney's drive home "a bit easier"
He travelled way better tonight. The trip was too short last time and he was run off his feet as he wasn't able to go the pace,. We'll find something here for him again, and that will make the drive home a bit easier tonight.
McDonogh is home and the punters are pleased
