Balansiya makes big impression in Foxrock
That was a nice performance by her. She had been working nicely and the few drying days helped her as I think she is a good ground filly really.
Blue Hussar swoops for the spoils
Double for Weld as Peace takes the Nursery
She was given a very good ride by Leigh. He went in instead of going out, and that was probably the winning of the race. She is owned by the brilliant breeder John Malone, and he has the dam in foal to Helmut.
Francis Of Assisi a saint for the bookies
O'Brien and Heffernan enjoy Mekong River
Guest records his fourth win of the seaon
He is a smashing, straightforward horse. He liked the ease in the ground and I spaced out his runs. I had him entered in a hurdle at Naas last Monday but I said I'd keep him for this. He jumps well, we have done plenty of schooling with him and he will be a grand horse next year.
Three, two and now one for Al Murqab
That was great. The form was there, he had two good runs to his name. He handled the ground, Gary was very impressed with him and he will be a nice horse for next year. That is Mubarak Al Naemi's first winner in Ireland, and he has been very good to support me.
Murtagh tops off season in style
We always knew he had a big pot like this in him. Johnny said he could be a Yorkshire Cup horse. I might run him over hurdles now, and then give him a break.
