Inca leaves odds-on stablemate trailing
Smullen steers Dotada to Fairyhouse win
Dotada only came to herself this time last year and must like this time of year. Today's ground is only 'summer soft' and they're only really knocking the top off the ground - she would ideally like nice ground.
Croisultan wins Belgrave Stakes
that's great to win a Listed race with Croisultan and hopefully there will be a Group 3 race for him soon - we can now travel with him, to Germany or France or wherever!. Ben (Curtis) gave him an excellent ride and he is the best there is - he has the makings of a high class jockey.
Prince Jock scores for Shanahan/Collins
his rivals were queueing up behind him but he stuck to the task well - I've no plans from here.
Premier Rouge scores for Marnane/O'Donoghue
he's a real favourite in the yard and is a super horse when he is right, doesn't break down or bleed!. He bled at the Curragh the last day and we freshened him up since then - we may go for a handicap hurdle at Galway next as he appears well enough handicapped.
Ranger gains some Fairyhouse compensation
I don't know what happened Park Ranger at The Curragh the last day but maybe he just wasn't good enough and appreciated the drop in class today - I've no plans from here as today was probably his Derby.
Byrne guides Mid Mon Lady to sixth win
she deserved to get another win (her first win since October '09) and we'll aim her at one of those handicaps at The Galway Festival next.
