Hatch Hall justifies market support
For a horse that has run on the flat, he is still quite babyish and lost three or four lengths coming down the hill at Clonmel (two starts ago). I think he is well handicapped on the flat and was beaten at the Curragh on Tuesday by a horse (Mademoiselle Penny) who has since won again. He could go to places like Musselburgh during the winter where he might still get good ground but before then there's a race on the flat at Dundalk on Wednesday week.
Westerner Lady makes all in Cork
Meyler motoring with third winner this week
the others quickened away from him the last day and afterwards I said to Eoin to step him up in trip and he did it well today. He missed the third last but then winged the second last and after that I knew I had them covered.
Gentleman Duke repeats the trick in Cork
It's nice to win the race again this year and he had the perfect prep at Listowel last month. We focused on this for a few months, he runs really well fresh and was bouncing in the parade ring today.
Owner Sloan out on her own with Cork 1-2
Wate And Sea wins again for Heskin
She's improving all the time and jumped great. That's Adrian's (Heskin) fifth win on her so he is married to her now! . She is after getting stronger and has a good bit of foot. Hopefully the ground stays good for another while and if it does she'll have another run.
Exactoris too strong for the opposition
He's a lovely, big, honest galloping horse and while he was a baby the first day, has grown up with each run. They went a good gallop for two miles three furlongs and Sarah gave him a lovely ride.
