Claiming king Magnetic North a birthday present for Caffrey
He's in top order. They made it hard for him up front, but he still found plenty. We thought the trip was on the sharp side but I suppose the favourite (Bringsty) didn't run his race and that was a help. We'd like to hold onto him, but we'll see what happens.
Moonlit Mist clears away in the closing stages
She's a staying type of filly and we were a little bit worried about whether she'd handle the track or be a bit green. There's more improvement to come from her. I think she's a nice filly going forward and I just love the sire, Australia. He gets very genuine horses.

Yokkell better than an ATM for Fahey
She's ultra-consistent, she's picked up a cheque every time in the last 12 or 13 runs. She was very honest again today. Colin said she found a bit for him under pressure and that the short run-in down the bit of a hill suited her, she was able to keep her momentum up. There's nothing really suitable for her at Galway, so we'll see how she comes out of this and pick something out for her in a couple of weeks' time. It's a gift having a horse like her and she's a great yardstick to have in the yard.
Donohoe doubles up at Ballinrobe through Vischio
Days like this make it all worthwhile. These two won at Tramore a fortnight ago and have been in super form since so we said we'd go again with them. . The four wins were all quite similar with front-running tactics and she got an easy lead again tonight. I enjoy working with the horses. We're a small operation and you need to be getting the odd result to keep going at the game and days like this are a bit of a boost all right. We have some very loyal owners and a small staff who work very hard. This mare will go to Galway on Wednesday week for a mares' handicap hurdle. She ran in it last year.
