Dark Note driven home by Coen

Twomey and Lee get a winning tune from Kirati Beach

I love it here. It’s a beautiful facility, the ground is always perfect, there’s always a great crowd here. It’s just a very well presented place and, for whatever reason, our horses seem to enjoy bowling along in front here. It suits a front-runner and our horses enjoy front-running. She was very green on debut (at Limerick) and poor Oisin Orr actually cracked his shin when he fell off her after the line. I was delighted with her that day and we came home from Sligo very disappointed. She was a little bit keen in behind horses there and, kind of, emptied herself out. We gave her a month to freshen up and I gave her one little bit of work last Wednesday and I was very happy with her. I thought this track might suit her. She’s keen to get on with things at home and likes getting going so I figured that, even from the wide draw, she’d a chance of getting across. She’s a nice, well-bred filly, a sister to Sir Erec. I’d like her to strengthen up a little bit and ideally she might get a bit of black-type at some point in her career but, for now, if we can find a handicap for her we’ll work forward from there.

Coen doubles up on Arch Enemy

She’s been unlucky a few times, including under this young lad, but we stuck with him and I’m delighted for him as well. He’s a brilliant young kid and he was excellent on her there, got all the gaps and produced her on the line. He was good on her the last day as well (when hampered at Leopardstown) because he just coasted home when he knew the race was over and he told us to go again with her. She’s only small. We bought her with the idea of maybe going three-year-old hurdling and she has schooled over hurdles already so we’ll see. The horses are all running well and we had one that was only beaten five lengths in a bumper last week. Once they’re healthy and well I’m happy and we’ll keep tipping away with them.

Imposing Supreme gets away with it in Ballinrobe

I had my doubts about him getting the trip to be honest. Kevin Haigney, who owns half of him with Leonard (Kinsella), was keen to come here and we got away with it. Kevin also owns Atavique so it’s been a great couple of days for him and the pair of them are two great owners to have. He gets up the hill in Galway so well and yet Gary got off him just now and said that we just about got away with that. He thinks he gets the mile and no further. We’ll probably head straight to Galway with him now. This is the first time he’s won anywhere other than there.
