Leche leaves rivals toiling
We hacked around, we'd do more at home. He hasn't worked since he won at Clonmel and he loves being fresh,. I was happy to let Darragh (O'Keeffe, on Great Bear) go as slow as he wanted because he used to just about get two miles but he has got stronger now and is more effective in a finish than he used to be. It was a blessing in disguise that he didn't get into Cheltenham as I would have ran him and he had an easy race there so it's great that we're here and great that racing is on. He will be for flat for the summer; he is a big horse and I wouldn't want to run him on quick ground but down the line fences will be his job too.
Well grabs another Grade 3 success
Her owner/breeder Jean Corrigan passed a month ago and the whole family would be proud,. Jean used to get great craic out of her and was proud of her. It is a good day for her daughter Emily and her husband Des but it's a pity Jean isn't here. Her next plan is to go in-foal but she might go for the 2m4f Grade 1 novice hurdle at Fairyhouse. We'll see what the connections want to do but she has been absolutely brilliant. We are thinking about sending her to Getaway. I have five or six horses in training and I have a couple of nice young horses coming along and have some for the flat too.

Love gets result after enquiry
It would have been very unjust had the result not been changed. He was coming with his run and he was quite obviously stopped. Thankfully we got the result,. You would prefer to get it on the line but it's good to get it. We'e had a couple of winners for his owner John Leckey and we're having a good year.
Swan wins on Eagles in bumper
It just shows you how good that horse who won in Cheltenham is. He likes soft ground and will be a nice horse to go jumping. I don't think he'll run again in a bumper and will probably go jumping next season, he jumps really well.
