Nouvotic another for de Bromhead in Wexford opener
Clarke collects back at Wexford
Henry gets O'Leary off the mark with 33/1 win
That's my first winner and I only have one horse. I have the licence about five or six years, and we were due a winner. My father and uncle always had race horses at home, we are farmers though and this is kind of a hobby. We are based in Tullylease on the Cork, Limerick border near Kanturk. He had been working well at home and we were hopeful today. The ground in Listowel the last day was too soft for him. He is family owned and my sister Christina bred him.
Diamond shines in first time cheekpieces
Monbeg opens chase account for Doyle
We had a fierce frustrating time with him last season. He had a really good run in Thurles but got a fright at Leopardstown and it took him a while to come back around. He is made for fences, he jumped very well today and JJ was always happy with him. I still think there is a big race in him, so we won't over race him. It's grand to get his head back in front and it's great to have a winner at the local track. We were just throwing everything at it today and I'd say the cheekpieces probably helped him to get his confidence back and he tuned in well. I think he won a bit snug so we are very happy with him and it wasn't a bad beginners for the time of year. He could go for a rated novice back here in a fortnight and if he qualifies for that we will let him run. The ground wouldn't want to be any quicker than it is today though. There is a novice handicap at Cheltenham in November and we will work back from that.
Railway provides Stone-Walsh with another feature race win
Bobby opens chasing account
He has the option of going over hurdles or fences and we'll see where we go next. He is not too bad over hurdles and we'll keep him going. He is doing very well and has four races won now. It probably wasn't a great race today and he'll probably get 5 or 6lb for it. He'll keep going for the summer. He is going up in the handicap the whole time and when you're going up you're going to be caught eventually.
Thistles edges thrillier in Wexford finale
She deserved that. She runs well everyday and had a lovely run over hurdles the last day at Limerick. It's lovely to pick up the bonus today as well. We weren't sure whether we were doing the right thing coming back for a bumper but she came up trumps and it's great. We were just wondering was she good enough to win a bumper because they are very competitive. The bonus (Weatherbys ITBA National Hunt Fillies Bonus Scheme) keeps bringing you back and they are great. She'll go back over hurdles now and we'll see, but she might go to Galway. I'll talk to the boys (Lorcan Cribbin and Kieran Leavy) and we'll let her tell us.
