Morepowertoya Paul!

We were hopeful coming here. He was very scatty and green early on but he was starting to come forward a bit. You'd like to think off his mark that he would be competitive in a handicap but when this race for four-year-old's came up, how could you not go for it, especially when I'm only a few miles over the road. He got balloted out twice during the week and we actually wanted to go left-handed but hopefully the quirks are coming out of him now anyway. It's the first day he has finished off a race. Before when he'd come off it, he'd start jibbing around other horses. We will see what handicapper does now, maybe he'll go for a rated novice. The syndicate are from all over the place, from Australia to Kilmeaden, hence the name Going Global. My brother Conor is the head man in the syndicate.

Third win of the year for Dartington

Darragh O'Keeffe completes 50 to 1 double on Shantou Warrior

I've had a slow start this year so it's great to get one on the board. He didn't win last year but won the year before. He is just a good, solid handicapper and is very consistent. It was his first run of the year at Roscommon. It's disappointing that the syndicate aren't here. They are an amazing syndicate who are into shooting and fishing and are friends of mine. They are very supportive and every horse I've had for them has won. I'm just sorry that none of them could come today. We will just keep at it with him now, he likes the summer ground. He had a very good rider on board today. I'm always so pleased when Darragh is available for me because he is an exceptional rider.

Dragon Rock strikes for Mullins & Townend

Serpolette a winning spare for Gainford

We were hoping for a real big run. We were hoping to run her yesterday in Bellewstown but she got balloted so we said we would come here instead. We just couldn't keep her right last year but she has been very well this year and was working really well the last couple of weeks. Eoin was unwell this morning and we had to do a change. I feel sorry for Eoin, but Jordan has rode plenty of winners for us and it was nice to be able to get him.

Make that a 305 to 1 Sunday treble for O'Keeffe

Darragh looked for the ride and that was probably an omen. Darragh was sweet enough on him, he rode him in Ballinrobe and while well-beaten, he galloped all the way to the line. Good ground might be the key to him as well. For a good class horse on the level he isn't finding a lot off the bridle. I was disappointed with him in Clonmel the last day I thought he emptied a small bit. There is no pressure whatsoever from the owners. When they have all the good horses on the flat this is just a bit of fun. I suppose we will keep him to two miles and he could come back here in August if there is a race for him.
