Wat Ua Doin looks a decent recruit for Smith
An Fraoch Mor bounces back to form
Magnor Glory a poignant winner for connections
Unfortunately his part-owner Barry Walsh died a few weeks ago. He was a cattle dealer and a very well-known man from Rathpeacon in Co Cork. I’d say half the country backed him. This is the first horse he had with me and he died sudden. It was a sad event. It was great that he was able to win for his family today. He has been a very difficult horse to train. He is a very hot horse and we tried him with the hood. The hard work early on has paid off with him now. He did that very well and I’m delighted with him. He will go for something similar now.
O'Keeffe drives Stealthy Tom home
That was nice and he got a nice ride from Darragh. We were just a bit worried about the ground when we got here but he handled it well, and kept off of the bad ground. We will keep him going for the summer.
Thunderosa enjoying tests of stamina
I knew he would like that ground. He has won on soft and good ground but being by Westerner he likes to slog it out. I think he is saving a bit. Paddy said that when he hit the front, he pricked his ears. He is a grand horse and he will mix it but it will depend on the ground. He has been in all year but he is enjoying his racing. If conditions stay similar, we will keep him going. Coming here when I heard it was gone soft, I was more positive than ever. We don’t have (fifth-placed) Lord Lariat that long and Keith said he just wasn’t mad about the ground.
"Straightforward" success for Bold Enough
O'Keeffe seals double on Ah Littleluck
Ashroe Diamond sparkles in Wexford
That was very impressive and that's what she has been showing us at home. I couldn't pull her up. I think these Walk In The Park's are going to be quite good. Jackie bred her and unfortunately we lost the dam last autumn. Take Tea and this one have both won since. It's a fabulous pedigree.
