Clondaw makes all to score on hurdling debut
He'll probably go for novice hurdle somewhere now. We just wanted to get this hurdle out of the way. He wants good ground and will go for some of the Festivals now. He jumped super and Brian gave him a great ride. He done all the schooling on him at home. Brian lost his seven pound claim there and it was a nice way to do it.
Man shows his Tough side to score for Roche
He had been sick at times but he was right today. He is a summer horse and will probably go for a similar race now before heading to the sales at Doncaster on the 28th and 29th of May.
O'Sullivan gets perfect early birthday present
That's my first track winner but I've had five point-to-point wins. It's great to win and I won a bumper on him. He has been consistent and will probably go for a good handicap hurdle at Killarney now. He will be kept on the go for the summer now and will go chasing in time. The owners are Pat & Anne Kangley from Kells in Co Meath.
Kilcross Boy wins for Kilcross man
I wasn't overly surprised. We upped him in trip and he will go for another handicap next.

Gimli's scores on first start over fences
Patience pays off with consistent Island Peak
He deserved that and he rewarded his owners patience. I always thought he needed a further trip. He always does too much in his races and travels really well. I think he might struggle now under a penalty but he will be kept on the go for the summer. His uncle is Royal Athlete (1995 Aintree Grand National winner) and he is so clean to jump. Brian Cawley rides out for me once a week. He is a helpful fellow who is fierce value for his seven pound claim.
