Fregada looks smart on Curragh debut
We had her entered in the Moyglare but she got a little touch of sore shins six or seven weeks ago,. We couldn't run her and backed off her. Obviously when we entered her in the Moyglare we thought she was good. She's a nice filly, she was green today but she did it very well. She ran around a little bit when she hit the front but she was entitled to do that. She's never been away. It's great to have her for James and Charlotte (Musgrave), she was impressive. She's a very good filly. When she's working with anything we have she'd gallop all over them. She's still a baby but once she gets a bit of racing she'll be really good.
Bolo blows away 500 field
Lynam's Keke land a big pot in some style
He's just progressed all season and won well today. The handicapper will have his say now but to win four handicaps in a year is pretty cool.
A bountiful prize for Apples And Bananas
He's a very tough horse. It was a good aggressive ride from Dylan and he stayed on to the line well,. I'm delighted with him, he's as tough as nails. He's obviously better at a mile but it's a great pot to win and fair play to Goffs. . It's a fantastic incentive for people to buy horses next week and we'll hopefully be going back to try and find one for next year. . He had stakes form, went and led all the way and he's a good horse. . He's a horse that should go ten furlongs next year, he has a bit of stamina in his pedigree as it's an Aga Khan family. . We'll have a look at one of those Saint-Cloud races and he's in the Futurity Trophy as well, which we'll have a look at too.
Molloy & Leonard combine to land Curragh maiden
We're very happy, she's been promising but she'd just been a slow burner. Luckily she has very patient owners, which is great.
Emily Costello shines in Student Derby
He had a pelvis injury. He had three nice runs in maidens but I thought he might need the run today to be honest,.
Long time between drinks for No More Porter
He was very good on him. He doesn't usually back up his races and I took a chance after the other day in Listowel. Fair play to Ronny (Whelan), he didn't abuse him the other day after his chance was gone. He didn't have a hard race and came home and grubbed up well. That was a big factor to running him again. . He never runs a bad race here, it was probably my mistake going to Listowel. It's worked out now so it's not too bad. . He's been a bit unlucky and hasn't won in a few years, since we bought him. He's been second in a Galway Mile and in three or four good premier handicaps. . He's a very good horse in those big handicaps when they go fast. They went good and fast today, he hit a bit of a flat spot in the middle but he stays galloping. . He's well handicapped if we can get another pot somewhere. There is a race on the last day of the year at Leopardstown but he doesn't want it very soft either.
