Mullins takes opener at Fairyhouse

she gave a great exhibition of jumping except for the last where she got a bit tight, and David did well to get her back up.

Colgan subs on winner Mister Hotelier

he deserved a nice pot and was a bit unlucky in Galway the last day as he thought he'd done enough when he hit the front. You probably won't see him now until Christmas, and we'll find something for him then.

Sandra Hughes trains first winner

we've always thought a lot of this horse and Dad loved him. Fairyhouse has been a lucky place for us in the past and it's great to get the first one (winner). He was very impressive there so we'll see how he comes out of this race and have a look at Christmas.

Double for Cooper/Gigginstown with Marinero

he won his bumper well here and he jumped well today which was great. He wears the hood as he was a little bit free as a young horse but he has coped on now.

Fox fills in, to win on fancied France

Noel Meade .He jumped a bit better and was suited by the more galloping track. He was probably beaten by a good horse (Drumacoo) at Thurles last time.

Princess Leya stars for Mullins's

she was off a lovely light weight in her first handicap; she had been running behind Little King Robin (prolific winning front-runner) so has learned to go like the clappers!. She's an improving filly and John (Fallon, owner from Co. Galway) has her for breeding. He's a great supporter and went off to Tattersalls recently and bought another filly. I'm really charmed with her today!

Gold Cup winner ends barren spell

'Proper horse' completes Gigginstown treble

he's a proper, big horse, and a chaser in the making. I'm not sure if he'll run again this season and I'll have to talk to the owners; but we'll mind him.
