Success for Siskin's sister
Futurity-fifth wins Gowran maiden
I jumped and got into a nice position but we didn’t go overly quick. I was travelling very well and it turned into a bit of a sprint. I was waiting for one to fall away and nothing did until the last second. I just got the split at the right time and he got his head down at the right time.
Keane and Lyons double up with Mr Wendell
Adapt To Dan off the mark for Hogan, Doyle and Barton
we were beginning to think it might not happen but he’s done it well on the day. That’s our first winner for the owners (Susan Barton) and hopefully it will give him a bit of confidence. The better ground was a help to him today. The race worked out for him as they went a good gallop and he had something to aim at.
Championship-chasing Keane completes treble
he’s a cracking little horse. My parents own half of him and it’s a pity they couldn’t be here but they will be watching in.
Epona Plays takes Group 3 feature for McCreery & Lee
I thought she was a decent filly last year and she ran a cracking race in Leopardstown. It’s taken her a while to get going but she loves it here. She’s progressing well and they went a proper gallop. Billy said she was just behind the bit lovely all the way, and when he asked her she was always going to respond. He said she did it snugly in the end. I delighted for the owner/breeders Renzo Forni and his daughter Raffaello. That’s the fourth of that family that have won for me and the three fillies have all got black type. She had a little niggle earlier in the year that we have sorted out and she’s coming on the whole time. She’s a lovely scopey filly and goes on any ground.
Sasta provides jockey Byrne with 13th winner
McCreery's 1-2 follows his Group 3
they are two lovely fillies both having their first run today. I bought the winner (Insinuendo) for Michael Deegan and he’s been very patient and let me take my time with her. She’s a smashing big filly and I’m delighted for Michael as it’s my first winner for him. Billy gave her a lovely ride. The ground is lovely there today and they should both progress from that.
