Tenzing wins opening maiden in Cork

Garcon Doux springs 50/1 surprise at Cork

he ran terrible the last day he ran in Gowran on heavy ground and today we said if could run a respectable race we'd be happy, but we got more than that. He had a nice run in Punchestown prior to Gowran and he will stay on the go for the summer. He should be alright in those rated hurdles. Niall Moore was due to ride him but was to ride for Gordon Elliott in the Irish National today until his ride Samcro was withdrawn, so missed out.

Cork win for 'daft' Kildorrery

he is owned by a lovely lady Denise Entenmann who was married to a late cousin of mine and lives in Long Island. the race fell asunder - six-runners, take your time and if he didn't win today you could raffle him. Whatever danger was there fell at the second last.

Ifeoinly survives bad blunder to win Hunters' Chase

she is a lovely tough honest mare and I'm delighted for Brendan (Walsh, from Galway) who has had a great run with her this season. At this grade she is a really nice competitive mare and will stick to the hunter chase grade and will probably go back point to pointing next season. We will have a look at a winners' of one hunters chase at Tipperary next.

'Aintree Emmet' helps cousin to series success

that secures Charlie the series so it was great to be able to help him pull that off. He was a recent purchase and we bought him online at the ThoroughBid Sale (for £8,000 last month) and it was good to get a quick return. He was a Presenting and I felt he may have been waiting for good ground in the spring. He has a great step to him, covers a lot of ground when he is walking and has a real staying pedigree. He just needed to get a bit of confidence and I'd say the better ground will be a big help to him. He will keep going in these hunter chases for the next few months.

Monbeg Park wins Cork bumper for Sean Doyle

it is only by accident we have him as he did a suspensory joint winning his point to point. You could see him doing it as he jumped the last fence where he just wrenched. Other than that he would have gone to the sales and made a lot of money. He wasn't fully right in Gowran but came out of it well and looks a different horse now. We will keep him for racing ourselves now and if he stays in one piece, you could see him winning something big. We'll turn him out now and go hurdling next year.
