Owega impresses on hurdling debut
We think an awful lot of him. He is well above average. He came out of his last race so well that we decided to run him here today. He is only a 4yo and is still very weak. He will have a small break now. He will then go for a winners of one before going for some of the good novice hurdles. My brother in-law Anthony Callan bred him and my mother Maureen owns him.
Kerry men combine to score with Killcara
Joe (Holly) has been with me over a year and hopefully we will team up for a few more winners this season. He has been a troublesome horse to train as he has a mind of his own. The slow ground helped him today. He has the ability to jump a fence but whether he has the interest is another story. For the time being we will keep him going in handicap hurdles.
Pozyc rewards punters faith
It was survival of the fittest out there, the ground today is in a league of its own. He needs to be produced late. Ruby gave him a lovely ride and he did it well.
Ardglen does it again for red-hot Hanlon
He is in again in a two and a half mile Handicap Chase at Clonmel on Sunday and he will probably run there. He jumped much better today than at Ballinrobe and he loves that testing ground. That's my eighth winner in the last ten days and it's Brian's first winner as a professional in Ireland (rode a double at Perth on Wednesday). His owner (Neville Eager) is from Wicklow.
Double for Mullins as Carolina rockets home
She was very good. It was a bit unexpected first time out and on that type of ground. She finished like a rocket and it bodes well for her for the winter.
100 up for O'Connor as Pittoni does it as expected
He struggled a small bit on the tacky ground. While he is tough and honest he never does much and you just need to make him. He is entered in a Grade 2 Hurdle at Tipperary on Sunday week and the Cesarewitch (October 9th) is also possible. Derek (O'Connor) said he just had to give him a smack to go on and win.
