Heavily backed Missy Tata wins well
she's a lovely big filly, I'd say she'll come on a bit and I'd say she is smart. There's a Listed mares' race at Aintree in December that we might look at but she wouldn't want the ground any better than that. She did it very easily.
McManus favourite wins Down Royal maiden
he was very free last year in Punchestown but he probably gets two and a half miles alright.
Fethard Player wins Grade C Hurdle
he's a little star! We were afraid of the ground as he is better on good ground.
Nicholls continues his Down Royal dominance
'Half-asleep' Cossack saunters to Grade 1 win
he's a fair horse and Bryan (Cooper) said he never came out of second gear but at the same time he never took hold of the bridle. He only had a school around and I just thought if we let him lengthen we'd have seen the real him but all he could do was win.
Knockanarrigan gains big race-day glory
it's nice to have one on a big day and Dad really fancied him for the Midlands National but he broke down [in 2014].
Elliott moves up a gear with Down Royal treble
he's a big weak horse and is a staying chaser in the making. We won't rush him this year.
