Morse stars in Curragh opener
He's a fine big horse. He's never been on grass before and both the horses ran lovely races,. Seamus got a lovely split up the rail. Every week mine are coming on a bit. This horse wouldn't mind six furlongs but he's not short of speed.
Guineas next for impressive Keredari
He won well. He was working well and was due to run at Leopardstown two weeks ago but his scope just wasn't 100 per cent,. He's a decent enough horse and if I have anything to shake them up as a three-year-old this year he's the one. He'll run in the Irish Guineas here next. He done enough in sticky ground today and wouldn't run again before that. He's adaptable ground wise. He handles a cut but also won his maiden on good to firm.
Soprano proves tough nut
She's an absolute superstar. They don't come any more genuine, she's tough as nails and I love her to bits. She's a smashing filly,. Her work has been good and she's improved again over the winter. She's won four now and we'll try and get some black type. The 1m6f Listed Vintage Crop Stakes at Navan will be the next port of call. It was a brilliant ride from Willie. He took it up when there was no pace on and she loved it in front.
Kargali too strong for Rayeni
He's a horse that has had problems but he just turned the corner in the last two-and-a-half weeks,. He's a talented horse and hopefully we'll try and keep him sound. We'll see how he comes out of this before we make any plans.
Mark claims Alleged as Glory only third
That's fantastic. I think she's even better this year. Danny said she's way better,. I'm happy she's improving and she's an unreal mare. They weren't going half fast enough for her and she was tanking the whole way. She just goes from strength to strength. Hopefully this augurs well for all my horses.
Daffodil completes Deegan double
I haven't seen it as I was down at the start with her,. She's been due one of these as she was beaten a short-head here at the start of last season and has been second and third. She never really runs a bad race. She struggled a bit last year as she won her maiden and then was fourth in the Marble Hill and was high enough rated. My horses are healthy and in great form, thank God.
Rocket powers home to give O'Brien double
We thought he was a nice horse last year,. Joseph's horse (9/4f Bold Quest) had a run and we are worried about them all having runs. He's a nice moving horse.
