Hughes/Loughran the Masters at Thurles
we tried Action Master in cheek-pieces at Leopardstown the last day as he carries his head awkwardly but they didn't seem to work. He has loads of ability and may be suited by a better run race. He goes on heavy ground but I've no plans for him from here.
Harney records local win with Prairie Call
dad fell on ice last Saturday and only had it operated last night in Tullamore hospital. This will cheer him up! Prairie Call deserved the win and goes on any ground.
Harney records Thurles double in Stewards' Room
dad fell on ice last Saturday and only had it operated last night in Tullamore hospital. This will cheer him up even further!
Hogan off the mark with Kylebeg
I only have my license since last summer and my father Martin owns Kylebeg Krystle. I have four horses in training and use Charlie Swan's gallops.
Elysian Rock causes Thurles surprise
he was in better form today but wants better ground again to be seen at his best. He is a half-brother to Venalmar but I've no plans from here.
Splaine gets back to winning ways with Capal Dubh Alainn
Capal Dubh Alainn was held up about five or six days by the frost but jumping is the key to him and we'll aim him at another handicap next.
Hogan's Spirit benefits from Dundalk stay
I was a bit worried about the ground today but he did it well. He's a brother to Man On The Nile and while I've no plans for him, he is a nice prospect going forward.
