McDonogh and Prendergast land double
He'll go for a winners of one and probably wouldn't have been in love with that ground.
Tooth Fairy on course for Galway
He's a grand genuine horse and seems to go on any ground,. Hopefully he'll get into the big seven-furlong handicap on the last day of Galway.
McCreery continues run with Knight
He was unlucky the last day as he jumped out with the hood on him and ran 50 yards with it,. He's a lovely horse but has just taken time. I took my time with all the two-year-olds last year and it's paying off now. I thought he would hate the ground and just planned to give him a run over five to sharpen him up for a six furlong race next week.
Ucanchoose makes breakthrough at Tipp
That's deserved after two seconds. I might run him over 7f at Galway on Monday week to give the owner a day out. I'm not sure he'll get the trip,. He's a good consistent sort and the softer the better for him. We felt there was improvement in him and he's a winner now - that's the main thing.
Taralga makes it three this season
It's a pity we don't have half a dozen more like her,. Davy gets on very well with her. She doesn't neccesarily have to make the running but likes to be up there away from the hussle and bussle. The secret to her is that she needs a cut and won't run on good to firm. The GPT (now dayshotelgalway.com handicap) at Galway is a possibility and if she runs Adrienne Foley will ride.
Tamarind lands last for Ballydoyle
She had two lovely runs and came on after a nice break,. We'll step her up to a stakes race now, possibly a Group 3 at York. She stays very well and handles the ground well.
