Adams Barbour now a 3-time Dundalk winner
He’s done that very easy in first time blinkers. We were quite nervous as he was very quiet going to the start. He’s normally a messer but the blinkers probably helped him to focus,. Last time he was drawn wide but he’d a low draw today and Chris gave him a fine ride. He has to be out and away — if he’s in behind horses he doesn’t travel. He likes to get his own way up front. He’ll focus on here now over five or six furlongs for the winter and won’t go back on the turf. We’ll use Chris when he’s available and Siobhan (Rutledge) knows him well also. He’s a bit of a quirky animal so it helps having riders that know him.
Princess Plumeria opens account in claimer
It’s taken a bit of time for the filly to get her act together and she’s the first horse we’ve had for Sheikh Sultan’s Al Mohamediya Racing. He’s been very patient with the horse and we are delighted to get a winner for him. If she’s claimed we wish the next people the best of luck.
Meishar shows his liking again for Dundalk
To be honest drawn in stall 16 and dropping back to six furlongs it was touch and go whether to bother running. I couldn’t believe how easy he got across and his stamina was always going to last out. He caught us off guard (on debut) at the Curragh where he ran a huge race. The wheels then half came off as he’s a big weak horse. Luke said the way the race was run at Punchestown the last day didn’t suit and he’s a horse that needs momentum and be able to use his stride. He could have won his last three races. His three runs up here now are second, first and first so he’ll be busy here during the winter. He definitely stays a mile and he had no bother there over six so he has plenty of options.

No Trouble back to his best for 3rd Dundalk win
We knew he’d run well and he was unlucky last time in Galway where he got blocked everywhere. The time before that he was coming back off a break and was too keen and fresh,.
