Diamonds Lands Ballinrobe Gamble
I think rain is the secret to him and he has won here before. We fancied him at Galway and he was second at the bottom of the hill and I thought he'd come home well but he stopped for some reason. He's had a lot of trouble with his legs and the ease in the ground helps.
Heffernan Double at Ballinrobe
She's a typical backward filly. It was her first time on soft ground. It was a terrific ride by Seamie, he took his time and gave her every chance to get home. (EM)
He's as tough as nails and I can't believe how far he has won. His handicap mark is probably gone now on the flat and he will more than likely go back chasing. (EM)
Hadarama Finds Another Chance Fast
Far from The Last Hurrah
He did all the schooling on this fellow at home, some of it over poles and it's all paid off. He ran on the flat at Galway and didn't take much interest in it and going at this game has helped in that respect. (EM)
Rothwell and McCarthy win again
Two for Oxalido at Ballinrobe
I was afraid of the ground but I had someone walk it and they told me that it wasn't too bad. I'm glad that last shower of rain held off until as late as it did. (EM)
