Mr Percy pleases favourite backers in Limerick opener
Fahey and Sexton's confidence in Iamagetaway well justified
He is a smashing horse and his work at home had been very good so I would have been disappointed if he didn't collect. He had been keeping good company in his bumpers and while we were a little disappointed coming home out of Wexford and had our tail between our legs, that form has worked out well,. We were clutching at straws by putting on a tongue-tie as there is no issue in that regard but it won't be coming off the next day. I'd say 2m4f is his trip and we'll pick and chose where we go, so hopefully he can win again.
Jetara gets her turn after chasing home Ballyburn
it is great to ride a quality mare like this and it's not every day when you're flicking through form and see '2nd to Ballyburn'. It was a pleasure to put my leg across her and obviously a pleasure to ride for the trainer and owner. She switched off, stuck out her head and did what she had to do having jumped fluently throughout. It is grand to see her settling and hopefully she will come on from it.
World Of Fortunes set to fly even higher after Listed win
She is improving the whole time and there are bright things ahead. Jordan had done a lot of work with her and was brilliant today,. She won her bumper over two (miles), won her maiden over three so is very versatile: anywhere from 2m4f to three miles suits her to a tee. Jordan said she is improving the whole time and is a very exciting mare for the future. She'll now have to be campaigned in those staying novice mares' graded races and I'd say yielding to soft won't be an issue for her, although I'm not sure about any softer. We are a point to point, family-run yard with 20 horses and while this is the only mare we have for the track, it is enjoyable. The lads gave her to me to pre-train so were good enough to leave her, as 95 percent of the yard are either three or four-year-olds.
Redcliff Glen lands Limerick handicap at 40/1
he has been disappointing every day he ran although his last couple of pieces of work had been better. We were hoping for the best and he (son Philip) said he'd go wide for the better ground. he had solid enough Flat form and we thought he'd have done something before now but never showed me much. He is ground-dependent and is more a horse for next summer.
Long-time friends McNamara and Earls enjoy Limerick success
Clonmel on Thursday could be next for Limerick winner Crows
This horse is very roguey and there are days at home where he'd sulk but today he was looking over the door more than he normally does,. We were beaten 17 lengths the last day in Gowran Park but we were happy enough with him as dwelt a bit at the start and it cost him lengths. I thought his win would come over fences though. He is in at Clonmel on Thursday so we'll see how he is.
