Murtagh & Coen land Tipperary opener
Coen doubles up on Nouvel Espoir
He had a very good run the last day at the Curragh and the runner-up has since won, so it gave the form a great boost. It was nice for him to bring that form here and this good quick track suited. He is a well-bred, strong horse and it is lovely to have him.
Tipperary double strengthens O’Brien’s hand with juvenile fillies
Finsceal Annie gets off the mark under Powell
We bought her out-of-training at Goffs and there were a few issues afterwards but the owners were patient and she had a lovely run at Killarney the last day. To build on that today was great and she dropped in trip. My horses seem to be coming good now. The syndicate are from everywhere; there are 10 or 12 and Jack Moran, who runs some of my syndicates, put them together. There are a few local people, some from Cork and for some it is their first winner and they are having a great evening.
Sixth success for Star Harbour
he has been a great horse, the lads have had a lot of fun with him. We had made entries for him next week but that win might stop us running him, as he'll get a 7lb penalty. A win is a win though and we're delighted. Adam gave him a good ride and while I thought we were in trouble early on, he would prefer further, although in the past had been placed in Lincolns and Galway Miles. He isn't slow-slow but is a typical Sea The Stars being a late developer. He is a high-class fun horse and is well handicapped over hurdles so will probably see a hurdle again before the year is out.
Donaghue-Leahy takes her seasonal tally to five
He was in savage form, I really fancied him today although I didn't know whether they'd go fast or slow, so everything had to go right for him. They went fast but Robyn was clever enough to take her time. . At Down Royal the last day, Robyn's foot came out of an iron when she thought he'd have won but he won today instead. He is a nice horse and hopefully will win again.
