Dalmatia in charge at fog-bound Punchestown

Thief makes it two from two

Progressive A Toi Phil has Drinmore option

We had a one-two so we’re happy. The horses ran well. You saw as much as I saw. When he got the gap going to the second last he quickened through it and was gone. He won well. Ruby said he travelled and jumped well. The Drinmore will be the plan now all being well. I’d say he just doesn’t want bottomless heavy ground and Ruby said that’s as soft as he’d want it. That’s a Grade Two and he won it well so all he can do is improve from it.

Nichols Canyon retains his Morgiana crown

I’m very pleased. He had to come in as a sub but he did it nicely. At least he was wanted this year!. Ruby said they went a very good gallop the whole way and his stamina just won out. Jer’s Girl decided to take him on early and he just kept galloping with her and he just outstayed her. He’s just got lots of stamina and once it became a test of stamina the conditions suited him more than any other horse in the race. This wasn’t part of the plan. It was just the way things worked out so I’m not sure where I’m going to go next with him. At least we know he’s not too bad at that trip. He jumps fantastically and he goes a very very good gallop over two miles so he’s competitive at it. I’d imagine we will be stepping up. That was part of the plan anyway. I just haven’t got a race picked out for him yet. I’d imagine it’ll be Christmas. He was very exuberant today. He’s very brave and I was hoping that his jumping wasn’t going to take too much out of him but he put the other horses under pressure with his jumping.

De Bromhead strikes again with Monalee

Tylicki delighted with her first victory

Samcro gives Elliott a Punchestown double

He’s a good horse. He won’t have much of it this year, maybe another bumper. He should be some horse down the road please God. He’s good.
