Smooth debut win for Adelaide River
Royal Scholar rewards form students
I had to be patient and wait for this race. I was kind of curious to try him on grass. He loves it here.
Lecale's Destiny keeps Lupini's good season going
Danny gave him a great ride and he stayed on nicely. Probably the step up to a mile won't do him any harm. He is tough and genuine. We hope to compete in premier handicaps with him, he seems to be shaping up that way. He started well in Gowran Park when he was second first time out and in the Curragh he just didn't seem to handle the soft ground. He seems to like nice ground. He seems to have handled the surface okay so we'll speak to the owner and see what the plan is. The horses are running well so hopefully it will continue for another while.
Browne McMonagle lands the feature & completes treble
Harry's Bar enhances fine all-weather record
Yes (a fair effort) under that weight. The young lad (Adam Caffrey) was very good on him, he's great value for 7lb. He was excellent on him, he didn't panic. They went good and fast and sometimes lads would panic but he didn't. He gave it a great ride and my other horse (runner-up Dream Today) ran a belter as well. I don't know what he is going to be rated after today! He's a very, very good horse and the boys have had great fun out of him. He's a horse of a lifetime for a bunch of lads. We'll just tip away with him. I don't know what we will do next. We will come back here for the Group 3 later on in the year (Mercury Stakes on Friday 21st October), that will be his main target. We did travel him before, he definitely wants Tapeta or some sort of an all-weather surface. We were going to take him to Canada one year and it was too much money to fly him out! He will travel again somewhere.
Sheridan strikes on Ghumama
Ragtime Red calls the tune at favourite venue
Killian (Leonard) gave him a superb ride and I told him 'don't complicate it and just don't disappoint him, let him roll on'. He doesn't like horses crowding him. In the back straight, he got into it.
