Shoes gets off the mark on second start
I didn't have a whole lot to do with her at home but I rode her work two weeks ago and loved her,. I asked Dad if we could run her here and she's a really nice filly. I like her.
Curragh Review - O'Briens double up
3 for O'Briens as Pav gains important win
Silver on the up and up with Curragh hat-trick
That was very impressive. He had a lay up as he had a drop a week ago and he had a sale to Hong Kong (that didn't work out) that delayed him by two week so we thought he would have needed the run,. I think he's a good horse after that performance. Gary said he didn't get the luck of the race but he done it well. It's only his fourth run so you'd have to rate him. I think Galway is a bit soon and I don't think he'd get in. I think he'd get a 6lb penalty but from my ratings this morning I don't think that gets him in. I'll probably look at the big handicap on Irish Champion's Day as an end of season target.
Alex "might make into a nice little sprinter"
O'Connor completes full-set of Irish courses
Bolger puts a stop to the O'Briens
He has guts. His trip is from there upwards,. You might not see him again this year. I think he'll develop into a nice stayer next year and it's quite possible you won't see him again. I'll have to discuss it with Joe Osborne and his team.
