Bolger Strikes with another juvenile
He'll get a trip and he would handle better ground,. We'll see how he comes out of it and we might look at races like the Tyros for him. That could be the route for him.
Keatley back on form with Duchess
The horses are starting to come back to form now. I just had to back off them after the first week and couldn't do any work with them under orders from the vets,. It was a tough few weeks but they are coming back to form now. This filly was in Ayr and was unlucky not to win there — she should have won. I was a little bit worried she was doing so much in Shane's hands early on, and that she was going to have a little bit of a blow out late on, but she stayed going. It looks like there is more to come from her the way she won there The ground and trip are probably ideal for her.
Jewel holds on to double up at Curragh
He just got there by the look of it. He seems to love it here. He's a nice one to have and the boys are getting plenty of craic out of him,. We'll maybe come back for the Rockingham, he would be entitled to take his chance in it. He was punished a bit for the last day, and he was a bit hard on him, but he has come out and done it again so it hasn't fazed him too much. The ground is key to him. He'd go on good or good to soft but I wouldn't want it too firm for him. He loves straight tracks and this isn't a bad place to love!
Pepper signs off in style in Ballyogan
She's in foal and I think that will be the end of the road for her — she won't run anymore,. I'd say that's probably it unless the owner wants to change his mind. She's in foal to Dragon Pulse and he bred him. We'll see what happens but she's done her job now as she had placed black-type before. I was hoping she'd be placed, and to be honest didn't think she'd win, but Chris Hayes was very sweet on her and she was working very well. She loves that ground — what she needs is oars!. We had the dam Evening Time and she was quite good. She won two Listed races.
Approach doubles up for Bolger
In-foal Fei shines at the Curragh again
She's in foal to Dandy Man and it seems to have sweetened her up,. She travelled well and Billy said half way around he know he had the race won but he didn't want to hit the front too soon. She loves that ground and is a stone better on it. When she came off it he said he had plenty of horse left under him. She's a different animal on the ground and travels and travels. All going well and depending on the ground she might go to Leopardstown next Thursday. We'll see how she is but she hasn't really raced there, she won very easy.
