Mater Matuta spring-heeled on second chase start
Lake Chad survives interference to win under Hayes
He did well to win considering he was nearly brought down, I thought maybe our chance was slipping away at that point,. It was a credit to him the way he finished off the race well. He's had a bit of practice around here before which is a help. He's been around here a few times and ran well. He'll maybe get a little break now and come back here for the August meeting.
Eagle swoops late to land maiden hurdle
Wild Shot hits the target again
Penny not for catching
She has loads of ability but it's just getting it out of her. We left the blinkers off her the last day and Denis (O'Regan) came back in and said to put them back on her as she didn't do a stroke. He said he should have rode her handier as she just lost interest but it wasn't his fault as she had no blinkers on her. Denis would have rode her today but I think he's having surgery done on his back. The plan wasn't to make it, we told him to be good and handy, but Jack said there was no pace and she was in his hands so he may as well doddle away in front. He just had to fill her up and she loved it. They came to her at the second last but he said once he gave her a dig in the belly and grabbed hold of her she took off again. I fancied her in Cork but when we got there and I saw the ground I was fairly worried. She got bogged down in the ground and wants nice ground. She's a mare that will jump a fence as well. I'm delighted for the owners Rhona and Paddy, they are really good to me and they are good friends as well. That's their first winner for me. She'll probably go back handicapping, she's probably not badly handicapped off 98. I didn't think that would be good enough to win a maiden hurdle but it probably wasn't a strong race.
Frazel Express enjoys her trips to Tramore
She's won here three times now which is great, and it's great for us to get a second one with her. Hopefully we'll come back here in August and we'll see if we can get a run in between. She's a very honest, she tries her heart out as you can see, and that was brilliant.
