Sale topper Sarrocchi lands Leop'town gamble
Weld eyes Guineas Trials with debut winner
it was a good workmanlike performance and he's a gorgeous big colt. He's having a real serious blow there and there is lots of improvement in him. He was a big late maturing horse and his dam (Group 2 winner Starformer) was a good mile-and-a-quarter filly and there is plenty of stamina in the pedigree. He'll be a lovely horse for a mile or a mile-and-a-quarter next year, is a horse we like an awful lot and he has potentially a big future. He'll be a lovely horse for one of the Guineas Trials next spring. considering the time of year it's lovely ground here and a credit to Leopardstown.

Weld wins KnockaireStakes in Stewards Room
Declan (McDonogh) gave him a grand ride and popped along. He said he wasn't doing a whole lot in front. He was pricking his old ears and could have done with a bit of company late on. she's (Making Light) a very consistent filly and was beaten a short-head at Naas the other day and a nose today but she got it and we're delighted. She won a group 3 race here last year and this was important because she's gone this year without winning. It was vital that she got this race.

Byrnes gives it a lash with Laish
Niall (McCullagh) said after the last day to bring him back to a mile-and-a-half and it's unfortunate for Niall as he was offered the ride but stuck with Rashaan as he had won on him in the past. We got a good replacement though!. They went hard and he settled today. He's gassy and he doesn't like to be disappointed and just ran too free the last day and a mile-and-a-half was perfect. He's in at Naas but he'd have to carry a penalty so I'd say we'll go back jumping - he won a bad maiden hurdle in Listowel and I'd say he'll go back jumping now. and he'll go for a winners of one to start off with and we'll see how far he can go.
Oxx wins L'town finale with retiring filly
she's been trying for a bit but she's had her little soundness issues. She started off looking like she'd be very promising and we had some good entries for her but she just ran into trouble. She's come right in the last while and when they've had some soundness issues, you're inclined to think they'll need soft ground. We've run her twice recently on very heavy ground but she just couldn't handle it and today is not good ground, it's soft but it's not bottomless and I think that made a difference to her. Thank goodness she's won because she has ability- she's not a bad animal by any means and is smart enough if she was sound enough. That's it's now and I'd say she'll probably be covered in the spring.
