Georgeville puts Naas disappointment firmly in the past
He did it nicely and had better ground than he had at Naas. At Naas nothing went right for him, he was drawn very wide, got a little bit of interference early on, the ground was very testing on his first run of the year and he put it all behind him today,. He also had a better draw today and he was the one horse of ours who didn't reproduce his homework. He had been working well before and since Naas and is a lovely horse. Potentially he is a Stakes horse but ideally I'd like to find a winner of one race next. I wouldn't be afraid to go another two furlongs.
Isotope sheds maiden tag at first attempt on turf
Harrington and Madden land Cork feature with Marshall Jennings
I didn't think he was going to get a gap turning into the straight but it opened up for him and it's great for Tom (Madden) and I hope the handicapper isn't too hard on him,. He'll go for all those big handicaps and he used to want a dig in the ground but as he has got a bit of age, he can go on any ground now.
Impressive Cork return from Decrypt and he could be Irish Guineas bound
He is a nice horse and I had this race in mind from a long way back. I was looking for it in the calendar and last year it was a furlong further and I was only ever going to come here,. I did expect him to do that and he is a horse who physically got stronger and bigger in himself and I didn't feel it was the right thing to do last year by running him again (after his maiden win). He has length and strength and I asked Billy (Lee) and he said he would get a mile no problem. We'll see what we'll do and I have an idea in my head what to do with him but I wouldn't be frightened with the idea of running him in the Guineas; he definitely wouldn't run before the Guineas.
Mrs Harrington puts 55/1 Cork brace on the board
He is a good horse and ran into a few good ones last year and it's great to get his head in front today,. He will improve for that and Shane said he took a good blow a furlong down and he should improve for it. He is a half-brother to our good filly Bocca Baciata and we'll have a meeting with Patrick Cooper, the racing manager, and see where we go after this.
Murphy's Verse comes forward lovely from Opening effort a week back
We have always been very fond of this fellow. We were disappointed with him the first day and thought he'd be in the first three but he missed the break. He is very fast and I'd say he'll get better with better ground and he could be anything,. We'll probably hold on to him for a while as we bred him and want to do best for the mare. His half-brother was third in the Qatar Derby and he is from a fast family. We will see what the handicapper does but might go for a black-type race straightaway with him.
