Pumbaa gets off the mark over hurdles
We thought that he was bit better than a maiden and he will go for a novice hurdle next. He jumps like a chaser in the making.
False Economy records his eighth success
Small fields suit him. I spotted this race last week but then the rain came. If it was on the outside track I wouldn't have ran him. It can get very dry on the inside and they were only running on water that was splashing today. He had a fall here (October of last year) and chipped a bone off his hock and it took a long time to get him right.
First winner for Fogarty as Enright loses claim
Byrne back with first winner in six years
he (Afram Blue) is owned by my brother John McGuinness, a doctor in Dublin, who has been under the weather recently and this will be a real boost to him.
Questions lands a gamble at Limerick
He is a lovely horse. I was half thinking about going back to Cheltenham for the Paddy Power Chase, he was fifth in it last year, but I spoke to his owner and he hasn't run for a while so we said we'd try to get a hurdles race for him.
Another weekend win for Mullins & Walsh
he jumped really well and had plenty jumping done when Willie Codd had him previously and we didn't need to do a whole lot with him. He was due to run over fences in May but had to be left off when the ground turned quick; Willie (Mullins) was happy with him (today) and he was right.
Come To The Party takes the Veterans Chase
Dobbs & Mangan combine for bumper win
She is a lovely mare. The owners (Mrs Kathryn Tottenham) have been very patient with her.
