Mary Cassatt outstays rivals
The Short Go comfortably lands the odds
I’m delighted for Nolan and all the Byrnes and it’s great that he’s won here as this is one of their local tracks. They have been very patient with the horse and he was unlucky in a couple of maiden hurdles. He’s a lovely horse and has really turned inside out in the last few months. He stays well and will keep on the go over the summer.
Absurde wins readily on Irish debut
Prince Zaltar strikes for Rothwell & O'Hanlon
Delighted to get that first win of the season and huge thanks to the owners (the Blind Squirrels Syndicate). He’s a lovely horse and Paddy was just unbelievable on him. Brilliant ride and got him there just on the line, it was fantastic to watch.
First Graded victory for Saint Sam
He’s just so well in himself but the biggest thing I got from today was the fact that he settled so well over the first mile. Maybe the penny is beginning to drop with him. He needs to learn how to race over a trip because he’s bred to race over a trip and that’s what I want him to do. We tried it one day over hurdles at Navan and he just ran away with Paul. Fortunately, today he didn’t run away with him until after the winning post!
Stealthy Tom wins a thriller under Torrens
He’s a grand horse. He won this last year and he won over the banks at Punchestown in February. He was just touched off in the La Touche which I think is going to be his game down the track. He stays well and needed every bit of the two and a half miles there. The handicapper shouldn’t give him too much for that. This was the plan and I love winning here. He’s only had three runs this year so we’ll probably find something else for him.
Hard-fought win for Annamix gives Mullins a treble
He jumped brilliant but didn’t finish as strong as I thought he might. The whole reason we kept him this year was for Aintree and he didn’t qualify in time. Hopefully next year that will be the aim.
Naruto completes Mullins four-timer
That fella will go straight over hurdles. He’s a nice big jumping type and will jump a fence in time. I think he likes a bit of nice ground.
