Kalann claims Cork opener
Kalann had a holiday after he ran disappointingly on his last few runs during the winter. However he is a late May foal and is actually still growing. . We'll go to Punchestown next for either the Grade 1 Four Year Old Hurdle or else a winners' race. He likes good ground and will make a really nice horse next year.
Apalachicola flies for Crowe
everyone who rode her last year said she was a mare for next season and she'll go over fences eventually. She'll have a break now and come back in the autumn . she is a good mare in the making.
Paulie scores for Power/Murphy
I've no idea what happened to him at Wexford the last day but he is a horse who's had a lot of problems. We'll go for something similar at Punchestown next but anything we win over hurdles is a bonus as he is a real chaser in the making.
Salesin follows up Wexford win
Salesin is game out and while I thought the run would come a bit soon after his Wexford win, we had to come here for today's pot. We'll mix it between handicap hurdles and chases with him during the summer . the ground staff did a great job watering the track here too.
Power completes Cork double
Nallen for profit!
Minella Clonmel is a big strong horse who wants good ground. He may go to the Horses In Training Sales at Doncaster in May next. The Sales over there have been lucky for me!
Meade completes across the card double
Joe routs Cork bumper field
I've no plans from here but this was fantastic! He is an improving type and this was a great performance.
