False start in Dundalk opener
He's a lovely horse. He's had a lot of problems but when he's good he's very good,. We brought him here today as the ground was getting a bit quick for him and I don't want to chance him too often on it. He likes this surface and we might give him a bit of a break now until we get some juice in the ground. That's his third win this year and he's starting to creep up a bit but he's an improving sprinter.
Murtagh completes Dundalk treble
Shanahan shines on Atom
I'm very pleased. It's great to get a win with her as she's a very well-bred filly,. There's a possibility she might reappear on Saturday at the Curragh. We'll see how she comes out of this. My jockey is riding like a 20-year-old! I'm very pleased with him - he's like a man possessed.
Clair completes double for Marnane/O'Donoghue
The horses are running well. She did well and is improving with every run. That was her third start for us and she's stepped up every time,. I was a bit worried about the ten stone as she's not the biggest. I'll see what the handicapper does and we'll try and find something similar.
Ballydoyle double up with Summits
He done it well and seem to be improving all the time. We're happy enough with him,
Aladdins completes hat-trick
I suppose Galway could be on the agenda. We'll keep him ticking over and see what's there. We could put him away for a little while then,. It was a tall order to come here today but thank god he done it well. It was the obvious thing to do as he 6lb well-in. He was entitled to win but it's always a little worry.
