Hour Of The Hero bags a fourth Dundalk win
Murray's Valiant a Force once more
A big relief!. It was a hot race and a grand confidence booster for him as well. If he was going to take to the surface, he was going to do that. He'll probably come back for the (Group 3) Mercury Stakes here this month. David said he gave him a good feel and he said he travelled really well all the way. He said he was very comfortable everywhere. We don't know if the Mercury Stakes will be his last run of the season, we'll play it by ear and see what happens. We'll see how the Mercury goes first.
Lady With The Lamp shines brightest in Legacy Stakes
Midnight Stagger avoids carnage to win Dundalk Nursery
Yes (another step forward), he's just a bit late maturing really. I'd say we will go again up here. He's still having a good look there when he hit the front - he's never been up here, to be fair, and the lights is all new to a horse. Even running in evening time when we are losing light is all new. Hopefully, we can maybe follow up before the turn of the year.
Right And True wins Listed Star Appeal Stakes under Whelan
Black Storm 'a steering job' for Heffernan!
I rode his dad (Ten Sovereigns) a lot and his dad was very weak and then all of a sudden he came right. I think he won three races, including a Group 1, in three weeks. This lad didn't run as a two-year-old, he was obviously weak. I ride a bit of work for Kevin and I'm loving it. He was a steering job and I enjoy all steering jobs!. I got him off Ken Condon who had all the work done with him. He ran in a barrier trial and we got him after that. He improved from the barrier trial and he improved from the run in Cork. Probably a bit worried coming back to seven (furlongs) on a quicker surface, but that was the only option because he needs good ground. I was going to go to Killarney on Monday, so I have made the right call. I'd say he is a very nice horse. The O'Flynns in Cork own him, good supporters of mine over the years. I don't know, but I presume they will sell him.
Talk Toughs it out from the front in Dundalk nightcap
You could argue that (tough by name and nature). He qualified for the race in Laytown and Derek (O'Connor) just did what he did. He leads all our work at home and he is very, very straightforward at home. That was lovely and he is a fine horse - he's a gorgeous horse, but he's off to the Sales and we've had our time with him. You don't ever want to lose them, but we have had our time with him and it is what the policy is. They sell at a certain level and that is where he is, you can't keep running in Dundalk with him. He was a quality two-year-old and was held up as a three-year-old. It has taken us this long to get him right and then you saw him on the beach (Laytown).
