Moore 'back amongst the winners' with Miracle
I've trained for the Trappe family for a long time so I'm delighted to get another winner for them,. We've had this horse since he was a foal and always liked him. He moved to Peter Fahey for a while but had a problem shortly after he got him. It wasn't Peter's fault but, anyway, Austin (Trappe) decided to send him back to us. He had a nice run at Fairyhouse a couple of years ago which I thought would give him a squeak in this. It was his first run of the winter, so you're never sure, but he had prepped well. He'll run away for the winter and will pay his way. It's nice to be back amongst the winners. We only have four to run at the moment.
Universe wins staying maiden hurdle in Great style
Duggan's charge defies the handicapper
I thought 11lb was harsh for Killarney and was worried that the ground might have gone for him with the rain, but he did it well and seems to be able to handle good and easy ground. I was never worried about the longer distance, he wants this trip.
