Hand another winning newcomer at Limerick
She will come into her own going 1m2f or 1m4f and she should improve,. She is a good size and is very well bred: she is out of a Group 1 winning filly who is a half-sister to Dolphin Street and Saffron Walden. I don't know what kind of a race it was but she'll be lining up in plenty of black-type races as she is owned by breeding and sporting men.
6/1 reward for local supporters on Longoddson horse
I was hoping he'd do that and he is big, 17.2hh and he'll improve,. I don't know where he's going but I hope the handicapper won't kill him as that's where he could run next (a handicap).
62/1 Limerick double for Leahy and Foley
This is easy,.

Sunnyhill one for the books at double carpet
Last year I was only feeling my way with two years olds and thought he was a two year old but Pat Smullen rode him one day at Leopardstown and said he's far from a two year old and to put him away. He has come back a much stronger horse,. But to be honest I wasn't expecting that as we weren't sure about the trip. He ran an ok race at Cork the last day on that type of ground but we weren't certain about the trip and it is hard to go into a first handicap and be confident. Killian (Leonard) said the further he went, the stronger he was getting and he flowed into it lovely. It's surprising but we're happy and the handicapper can't be too hard on him. We'll keep him to 1m2f-1m4f and go for another handicap and he could be a lovely horse for us down the line.

It was grand because we bought her for only 2,500gns last November and now she's after winning a couple and is a nice filly and is after improving since the last day,. I don't know how much more she can progress but she has won two races for us and she'll jump a hurdle eventually. She's not the simplest ride in the world and both Donnacha and Shane (Crosse) the last day gave her good rides to win.
