Lynam loses Soffia to stud
Soffia has gone to stud so she'll be missed. She was sold at the end of last season to go to stud and I believe she is going to Frankel. She was a very good filly and ended up European Champion Older Filly for the sprinting division with a rating of 115. Let's hope we can find another one like her. She was a slow learner, was placed at two, useful at three and very high class last season.

Hassett junior bags first winner as a trainer
I made an awful hash of training him! I bought him to breeze but I ended up with him. I brought him to France but he got a virus. I had ten horses over there but didn't have a winner. I ran him once here and he ran moderate over six. To be honest I'm a trader, not a trainer and focus more on the breeze-ups. He's good. His sister won the Queen Mary and bred Adelaide so it's a proper pedigree. Michael and Eddie O'Leary's sister (Ashley) bred him and has the mare. I bought him off them as a yearling. He was picked out and bought by a judge in Thomond O'Mara. It took me a long time to cop that he wanted a trip. Ross Coakley worked him in the Curragh and said 'he wants a trip' so fair play to him and he gave him a great ride there today. I'd say he'll be a lovely summer horse for hurdles, that's probably where he's headed. He's for sale as I'm a trader. I've had three runners and had a winner and a second now. I've a good strike rate!. My dad John was on the phone there. He's at home watching on TV with my mother.
Coakley completes quick double
he came to the yard, we sweetened him up and he looked in good form during the week. He's a grand horse and there is no reason why he couldn't step up in trip again the way he stayed on there. I think he'd get a mile-and-six no bother or even two miles. I bought him to go hurdling but I thought we'd try and get a win with him on the Flat first. He has a lovely bit of size, a smashing horse. We've already schooled him over hurdles and he's a serious horse to jump.
