Amygdala gets off the mark in Cork opener
McCreery gets first win for Sheikh Mohammed
That's the monkey off my back. That is my fourth runner for Sheikh Mohammed, three of them have been second and I thought we were going to be second again. She is a nice filly. I wanted to keep her and Devonshire (also owned by Sheikh Mohammed) separate and I thought the straight five would suit her. Pat was strong without being over strong on her and six or seven won't be a bother to her. She is a big strong filly and we wouldn't want to over phase her. We will step her up now.
Timeless Listed win for greyhound trainer
she's a right little lady and everything happened for her today . she had ground, which is very important for her, and a lovely draw in her favour. I've only three horses riding out and it's great to have one like her. Pat (Smullen) says she needs a fast five and there's a Group race for her at The Curragh.
Favourite Chance wins the Cork Derby
Apache gains his 'annual' Gold
he's very consistent but it's about time he won!. Niall (McCullagh) said he is only now getting to know him but gave him a good ride and got a few lengths and then sat there. Seven is his trip but if it was softer, he could go back to six.
Deserved win for Achnaha in Cork finale
I thought she looked beaten but in fairness when he got stuck into her she kept responding. I was worried about the ground but she handles it well and it is nice to get a win as she is from a lovely family. She will be kept going now and we will look for more blacktype.
