Komnenos springs shock in opener
I was a bit worried about the ground as he's such a good mover. It was slower than ideal and Wayne said it was a bit slower than yesterday. He's nicely bred from a Moyglare family and is out of a Montjeu mare so he should get a mile no problem. He's still a bit weak so we'll take our time. He's always worked well and I expected him to run a nice race.
Newton proves brave in International
It's taken a long time for the penny to drop with him. He's starting to mature and relax. He's a horse that could suit America as he likes a nice bit of pace,. He's always been a very good worker but disappointed us on the track. A mile and a quarter seems to be his trip, and he's relaxing now and quickening.
Wolf scores on first start for Lyons
David (Spratt, owner) is very good at finding these horses, and I don't know how he does it. Nearly every horse he's bought has worked out,. He's a very straight forward horse, a kids ride at home. Today was really a fact finding mission. He seemed to be going nowhere two (furlongs) down but he came home really well. Colin said a mile would be no problem but I don't know. Looking at his form beforehand it said seven furlongs to me. But we'll learn as we go.
Roly Poly gains valuable Group 3 victory
The little bit of extra distance may have suited her. It's not that long after Ascot but she's a hardy filly. It was a tough performance and you would have to be happy,. She's a very important filly as a Group winner with her pedigree. She could go for the Debutante if we want to try her over seven furlongs.
Minding the star of the show again
She is a great filly. She loves her racing, and is getting very relaxed. Ryan was delighted with her, and we will look at something like the Nassau,. She has two options really for her next run, the Irish Oaks and the Nassau, and we are eyeing the Irish Oaks with Even Song. I hope she will stay in training next year, and I'll certainly plead that she does. She is very talented and progressing all the time.
Sors strikes again for Slattery
I told anyone that would listen that he would win. We had been holding him up over six and he was getting sick of it. He needs to pop out and go over five,. It's faster he seems to be getting. He had a good draw and a light weight, and Killian's claim made up for being out of the handicap.
Fighter completes Ballydoyle four-timer
He's a very genuine horse. He really wants it, and stays very well. Seamie gave him a great ride, just like Colm did in Ascot. It's my fault that Ryan rode the other horse,. He'll have a little break now as he's had a tough few weeks, and he's made for the English Leger.
Humour claims finale for Bolger
She's entered at Sligo on Tuesday, and looks well in. She's tough and hardy, and takes her racing well,.
