Manny Owens improves to get his first win
He has improved all season. Although he handles that surface he really wants it soft. We couldn't see him beaten the last day, but he got a bit lonely in front. That's him finished for the season now. He could step up next year. He'll get further than that. It wouldn't surprise me if he made his way to the good handicaps. We'll start him off in handicaps. We have the blinkers on him to teach him.
Beau Satchel lands a Dundalk punt
We thought we would exploit his all-weather mark. We've always thought a lot of him. He'll probably get a break, we'll see what the handicapper might do. We thought he liked soft ground, but he likes the sand too! He'll go for premier handicaps next year. He has very good owners (Advantage Chemicals Holdings Ltd). They had Beau Michael too. The owners are from all over. Dave Corr is the head of the syndicate.
Halford one two after dramatic finish
She was slowly away the last day and she got behind in a good race and she never got on terms. She was a different filly today and she's a smashing type. She'll get further in time and she has a beautiful temperament and she'll improve,.
A Good Dundalk double for Keane on Brother
Classy Cat lands the Diamond
Another Keane treble - at over 54/1
That's his trip, a mile and two on good ground. We were probably stretching him a bit over further.
Hogan gets that all important first winner
Hamilton gets it all together for Tight Times
The jockey made all the difference. I rang Kevin O'Ryan (jockey's agent) and I thought I would start at the top with Joseph or Pat Smullen and Joseph didn't have a ride in this race,. I hardly filled Kevin with confidence as this was a fact finding mission. He's been disappointing over hurdles but I thought he was reasonably well handicapped and I was trying to get the owners some prize-money. Brendan Quinn (owner) is from Newry and he bred him too. He's a horse that could do with a break now.
