Paris Texas resumes winning ways at his favourite track
He's not the most predictable of horses, so he was on a going day today and it was great. Aidan (Kelly) is with me full time, big thanks to Frank (Berry) and JP (McManus) for giving him the opportunity. He gave him a great ride. He had winning form here a long time ago, we may come back if that is the case! It is great he got his head in front.
O'Sullivan completes first double on Gibney's veteran
Biko takes the bumper for Pat Martin
His first ever run was a cracking run in Punchestown and he got bogged down then in heavy ground and kind of lost his way a bit. His last run was encouraging and then he got a good break. He has been training well - we took him to Navan about three weeks ago and he worked really nicely, and he has been good since that. We were expecting him to turn up today and Maxine (O'Sullivan) gave him a lovely ride and was always where she should be. I thought they went a good clip; it probably rode a nice enough race and we are not shocked that he won. I'd imagine he would go hurdling now. We'll see, we'll keep an open mind on it. It's great that he has won because he's home-bred (by owner Eamonn Duignan) and there's a few more on the farm so I'm delighted with that. I thought the second ran a lovely race and they picked up well. It's great to get it done and Maxine did a great job.
