Creekside shows best side
we'll aim Creekside at a handicap next and see how he gets on . it is difficult to place median auction maiden winners but hopefully he'll be able to move up the ladder a bit further. Creekside was badly drawn today and he needed to jump out quickly to get a good position . in the end though he didn't really learn a lot from today's win.
Obligada obliges for capable claimer
we'll step her up to 1m2f soon and, as her dam won six races from 1m6f to two miles, she'll eventually step 1m4f. Lady O'Reilly is keen to get blacktype for her too.
Enright wins Derrinstown race
Woodlands Stakes goes for export
Cheviot scores in tight finish
Cheviot has a few issues but we're sorting them out now and he may go for the Scurry Handicap at The Curragh on Derby weekend. He probably prefers a bit of ease in the ground.
Weld Rocks Naas
Northern Rocked is owned by Giovanni Olivero, who supplies parts to Fiat in Italy. He's had a horse with me each year for the last 25 and think I've trained a winner each year for him!. Seven furlongs is Northern Rocked's correct trip, he has been very consistent and likes the little ease in the ground.
Surprise success for Secret Story
Secret Story ran two nice races in maidens last year and stepped forward on that form . hopefully there is better to come after today.
