Elliott wins Navan's opener with Mengli Khan
he did it the hard way and they didn’t go fast enough and he was fresh enough. He jumped better than he did last year but he was hard enough on himself, and I was happy the way he galloped to the line.
Dempseys enjoy a Navan First
he’s obviously improved and that seems to be the way to ride him. He jumped away well and coped well with the extra 9lb (for his Kilbeggan win).
'Terrrible jumping' Moulin wins for Meade
he jumped terrible; I don’t know what it is because he jumps fences well and schooled well Wednesday morning. He hasn’t done much work and Sean (Flanagan) said he got quite tired but I would have expected that.
Call The Taxie wins on chase debut
we were worried about the ground as we thought he wanted it slower, and Rachael gave him a super ride.
Hurricane Darwin sweeps to Navan win
Denis was really good on him and it suited the horse. He likes good ground and if we can stick to that, there could be another chase in him. He could go back over hurdles as he has a more lenient mark. He’s a nice fun horse.
Flynner winner matches at 1,000 in-running
he (Sally Park) was going to go point-to-pointing until recently and we’re glad we didn’t now! He galloped all the way to the line.
