Ya Ya Baby gets winning bracket in Ballybrit
Fourhometwo another for Murtagh and Kelly
Darkened rounds off good week for Hogan
It’s good to get his head in front. He was a bit unlucky the other day as he lost a lot of ground around the outside and we were 5lb well-in today.
McGuinness and Ryan land another big pot
He’s a very good horse and will probably go to Stakes company now. His work and Saltonstall’s was like chalk and cheese. The other horse came out and won the other day but the draw killed this horse. The draw is crucial here. The kid was very good on him again and I’ve had a week I’ll never forget with three winners. The Dooley’s and Bart (O’Sullivan), who started it all off, I have to really thank and the Shamrock boys are involved in this horse as well. I thought when he got 5lb (for finishing second) at the Curragh that it would goose us for Galway but I was wrong and he (the handicapper) was right! . I’ve never won a Stakes race before, so hopefully I have a few horses that are capable of doing it now.
Pista makes it nine winners this week for Joseph
She was very slow away at Leopardstown and the ground was quick. She was galloping up and down on the spot and then she ran on past a few in the straight.
Harrington and Foley double up with Camphor
Mullins caps fine week with Eight And Bob
