Make A Challenge dominates in Waterford Testimonial
That didn’t shock me after what he did in the Joe McGrath. Some people were thinking the handicapper was hard on us (raising him 14lb to 109) but deep down I knew he was right.
Miacomet earns her keep for Davison
When she gets to the front she pricks her ears, and I was delighted to see Andy last at halfway as she needs cover and once she gets to the front she thinks its job done. I was delighted when the result was called and the longer it went on the more the doubts start creeping in. That’s her 18th run of the year and she’s had two wins and been second and third a total of seven times. I haven’t spared her but she’s thrived on it. She’s earned her keep and is progressive.
Cesarewitch double for Mullins is no Illusion
Joey gave her a very cool ride. He’s obviously a talented young guy on the way up and I’ve been hearing nothing only good word about him.
Njord puts himself in shop window at Curragh
He’s just a gorgeous, genuine horse and I thought he’d like the track. He did it very well. He’s in the Horses In Training Sale, and he’ll do a lovely job for somebody if John (Lavery, owner) lets me send him.
Mulvany enjoys Silver Service in Curragh
She’s been missing the break and the handicapper was kind and dropped her. Gary said she handled the ground real well. The last day she travelled like a winner and didn’t get home (over a mile) and I’d say six or seven furlongs in that ground is her trip.
