Coen partners first winner on Etoile
It's great for Sam to get his first winner,. He's very good value and he's probably a bit more than a 10lb claimer at the moment. He's tidy and rides well. He stumbled and nearly came down, I don't know what happened. He did it well and he's always capable in that class. 10lb off him was a big help. He ran better than the finishing result in Galway last time, he was a bit wide and the race was a bit messy. He's a grand handicapper and it's great to have the likes of him for the apprentices, to get them going.
McMonagle excels aboard Je Zous in Gowran Group 3 win
She's a good filly, her runs are very solid this year and she was dropping down in class today,. It's nice to win a Group race with her because she's been very consistent all along. I thought it was a very open race pre-race, a competitive Group race. Her run in Ascot was very good and she deserved to win a Group race. It was a good ride from Dylan. The owners are New Zealand based and she'll be going to Australia at some stage. Whether she has another run here or not on the way, we'll see. The ground is well watered here today and they've done a very good job with the going.
