Charmed puts them away with minimum of fuss
Dee Sprinter a welcome winner for Roberts
Jack Berry House another for McConnell
He was a bit unlucky not to win the other day. He doesn't have to be ridden out the back, it was just the way it unfolded last time. He's put together a sequence of nice runs now. We claimed him in Wolverhampton, I have an addiction to claiming races! He wasn't that expensive. The lads that own him came to me last year and have had a disaster up to this point, with a couple of horses getting injured and stuff, so I'm delighted for them as they've stuck with me. I'm delighted, he's a good, fun, genuine horse.
Saltonstall brings up the hat-trick for McGuinness
I can't fight with the handicapper anymore anyway, that's for sure. We put him in this race by chance as he was going so well. People probably thought I was mad running him here after running in the mud but he'd been here a couple of times and he just floats on the surface. Sam (Ewing) was very good on him and it's great for everyone involved. That's his fourth win of the year and he'd just a superstar of a horse to have. I'm just thrilled to have him. He'll get a break now, he won't go travelling. Lingfield could be a possibility for him but I think we'll target stakes races on soft ground at the start of next season. I don't know about the Galway Mile next year, I'd want a 20lb claimer on him! It's a great problem to have with a horse. I'm praying to God that I can keep his form the way it is. He's just turned inside out with age and I'm delighted to have him.
O'Brien doubles up at Dundalk with Isle Of Sark
St George's Head gains 'overdue' win
This fella has been running consistently here and was probably overdue a win. It was maybe our fault trying him over shorter trips for too long. He won well today. We decided to do the same as Pulse (Of Shanghai) did last week, let him roll along and enjoy himself and he saw them all off. He's owned by the Celtic Racing Club, which I set up about a year ago. There are around 40 in it and it's only €20 a month. It's a pity they can't be here but they are all thrilled. There should be another day in him up here and he'll progress as he gets older as well.
Linus Larrabee seals McDonogh's brace
He was probably due one. He's been running well and got his day today which is great,. It's good to get it, we bred him and we have the dam. I trained the sire (Slade Power) as well.
In-form Dame Rapide gives McConnell a double
That was good. Things didn't go according to plan the last day, they went very slow over a mile-and-two and it turned into a sprint which didn't suit her. As you can see she stays very well,. She's just a filly that is going the right way and Siobhan gets on very well with her. It's brilliant for the owner/breeder, he had a nice horse there. I don't know where we'll go after that but we'll probably be going up in grade now. She's a lovely filly and very straightforward. The horses are going well and long may it last.
