Well-backed Mysloegin takes honours in Wexford
She had a few good runs in good maidens and a couple of real good handicaps. The experience helped and Rachael is riding out of her skin in fairness. I'd say that is her trip and I'd imagine she'll get a bit further to be honest. She does hit a little flat spot through her races, but she stays on and is genuine. She is a nice one to have. She won a bumper around Galway so we might have a go at the mares handicap there and see how we get on.
Loughran enjoys victory on first ride back from injury
I'm delighted for the syndicate. Oran Crean heads up the syndicate and we bought two lovely fillies at the Derby Sale for them. There is still shares available in them and they will be lovely fillies for next year. Court Tycoon is a consistent horse and is improving the whole time.
Naturally Blond shines bright in sun-kissed Wexford
I thought on that ground he'd take all the beating, he loves the fast ground. My nephew William gave him a great ride, he is great value for his 7lb claim. He has ridden two point-to-point winners for me this year already. If he is alright he will run again at Roscommon on Tuesday. He deserved that because he has been placed a lot of times. He mightn't have many wins but he nearly always runs well. He ran disappointingly the last day and I don't know why, he has done that before and he can run the odd disappointing race. We beat another Doneraile man into second. Darragh O'Keeffe was on the second horse. It was a bit disappointing stopping him from getting his first winner.
Le Martalin just holds on in the feature at Wexford
McNiff eyes bigger pots for Adimelo
I got too wrapped up in running him in rated novices because I was looking for a softer option. He had a great run in Thurles over two mile six and I'd say if the ground had any way dried, Paddy (Kennedy) thought he would have won on him that day. In Kilbeggan if he had jumped the last he might have got back up. I then stupidly decided we'd go to Clonmel over two miles because it was a rated one. I thought he might have got away with it because he was placed over a mile and two on the level. He ran in the French champion bumper and was an expensive horse coming here originally. We will look at some of the better handicap chases over a trip now. We were probably being a bit too negative with him, we kept waiting on ground and he was probably in longer than he needed to be before his first run. It was grand to win today and he did it well anyway. I'd rather bring him to a flatter track than Galway, somewhere with an easy finish. It's a pity the owners aren't here. They are in Mexico and New York at the minute and are from Draperstown, Co Derry. They are all good friends of mine. I bought this horse out of a claimer at Naas and recommended him highly. It's taken a while to win with him.
Windsor provides Flanagan with a Double
These blinkers seem to have transformed him. I'm just thrilled with him. The owners have three and the three of them are running today. Icelip ran up to his form and they picked up E1,500 for it. They bought this fellow when the other owners were getting out of him. They are a great bunch of people and I’m delighted for them. He travelled so well today, lined-up and done everything right. Dropping him in with a fast pace, he seems to love passing horses. We’ll enjoy today and see what is coming up. The fresher he is, the better he is, so we will try that trick with him.
