Dogwood blossoms as Group 1s await

she had two good runs against two decent fillies and I thought she was very impressive today and I really like her. She was very straight forward, travelled around well and she picked up very nicely. I think she is probably going to be a mile and a half filly next year. She will probably start of over a mile and a quarter maybe in an Oaks Trial. It’s soft ground, maybe heavy in places, but it’s not bottomless.

Blue-blooded Broadway banks Group glory at Gowran

she’s by Galileo and they just seem to get better and better. The more racing they get the better they get. Most horses get tired racing but the Galileo's just get better. Seamie thought it was probably her best run, and he felt that she would stay further. We were a little bit worried about the ground but she handled it well. She’s a very valuable broodmare and I’d imagine she will go to stud at the end of the year. She could go for the Group 1 mile and a half fillies race (British Champions Fillies' and Mares' Stakes) at Ascot.

Lincoln Dream still alive for Drombeg

the ground suits her and Shane Foley rides her well and is full of confidence about her. She travelled awfully well. We might have a shot at a black-type race after that, and we’ll look for a mile Listed race; her dam (Drombeg Dawn) won the Lincoln (in 2011, for trainer Andrew McNamara) and we might think about that next March.

Mulvany's Wichita gets over the Line

the heavy ground made the difference. She is a half-sister to Dew Line and she grew a leg in soft ground. This one will probably win her share of races in those type of conditions. Hopefully it's onwards and upwards from now.

'Take two', as O'Callaghan's filly wins on handicap 'debut'

I thought she had a big chance at the Curragh but she wouldn’t go into the stalls but she went in perfectly today. It was her first run in a handicap, and Gary (Halpin) said the ground was as testing as she would want it. The quicker she goes the better her action is, and he said she was bone idle. Hopefully she should be able to win again. She has the ability it’s just trying to eke it out of her.

he stays and it wasn’t bad for a hurdler to win there over a mile and two!
