Winning spare for O'Regan on Santana Plessis
In fairness he's a long time waiting for that and Denis gave him a great ride. Now that we can get back into England I'd say he might win a novice hurdle over there. I thought the ground might be too soft for him but it was grand. He's a big horse and he'll jump a fence in time.
No worries for odds-on Brave Way and Blackmore
No catching Rudy Catrail as he wins again under Fenelon
He's been a right horse this year. He got a very bad injury last year, a bad fracture at the back of his knee, and we thought he'd never race again. Then he had two bad colics in the middle of the winter and we thought we were going to lose him. He's come back from all those ailments. I don't really know what's next, I suppose he'll have to go handicap chasing. I'd say the handicapper is getting close to him. He goes on soft ground and maybe the real winter horses haven't been out yet. He's just taking on the tail end of the summer ones that won't go on that ground. Hopefully he might get another one and sure if he doesn't we've had a great year.
Myladyrose off the mark for Mooney and McKenna
She's a brilliant little mare and tough out. It's taken quite a bit to get her here but she's finally strengthened up and we've had a lot of help from a lot of people. We had a massive scare four out and I didn't think Liam was going to stay on. Fair play to him he gave her a perfect ride and it all went well in the end.
Soldier At War gives Elliott a double
He had a lovely run the last day, Jack was delighted with him then and we knew he'd come on a good bit from the run. The conditions of this race suited him well so it was the right race to go for. He's probably more of a handicapper than a graded horse and that's job done.
Nobody Home wins readily for Cawley and Timmons
It's always nice to win one. He was probably due a chase at some stage, he's let us down a few days. He always jumps well and seems to like it around here. He had a good run the last day and he won his first handicap around here very well. He got a decent hike after that and it probably curtailed him for a while. He's probably as high now as you'd want him in the handicap for what he is. There are a few of those races around and I wouldn't mind going to two-six or two-seven him with him on nice ground. Chris (Timmons) was saying the ground was a bit tacky today and it wouldn't have helped his jumping. Normally he's a great jumper and I've seen him jump better than he did today. Hopefully we might get another one with him somewhere along the line.
Royal Thief gives Blackmore and de Bromhead doubles
Dark Spark impresses in Kilbeggan finale
He's a nice horse and he has a great pedigree. He'll only come on from it as he's still a baby. We think he's nice and he's been showing us the right signs at home. I'd imagine we'll keep to bumpers, he won't go jumping hurdles at this time of year.
