Hat-trick for Bolger in first of the season
This win is all down to my staff, who have been working away in all kinds of weather. They never missed an hour with him. I like him and he is a good sort of horse.
Two out of two for Coolcullen team
He handled the ground well and he'll get a mile. We'll probably look for a listed race now. (AM & EM)
Srucahan wins as saddle slips on jolly
He's a progressive little sprinter and he is going the right way. As long as we have soft ground we'll continue with him. I still don't know how I didn't manage to win with him as a two-year-old. He's definitely sharpened up over the winter now. He's really learning how to sprint. The listed race at Cork next weekend could be an option. The owners would like to get him some black-type (he's a home bred).
73/1 treble for Bolger at the Curragh
She gets through the ground which is a big help. She's never had faster ground but I don't think she's that ground dependent. I have her in the Oaks and I think she'll get a mile and a half. Her dam is by Galileo and she was one of the first winners for Galileo.
Assisi wins and O'Brien outlines other plans
He won nicely at Naas and he didn't get a bad mark (running off 93 here). I'd imagine he'll stay a mile.
Lightning really does strike twice
He's progressing great and improved tremendously over the winter.
