Ryan's mare wins Kilbeggan opener by a distance
This is one for a proper novice hurdle,. She is a real nice filly and shows me plenty of class at home. Her mother won 12 times. She’ll stay four miles and her dam won over any kind of trip. She’s a lovely quick jumper and Liam Quinlan gave her a lovely ride.
Men Of Dreams strikes for Levins & Fitzgerald
I’m delighted and they are a lovely bunch of owners (Men Of Dreams Partnership). He had a lovely run here first time out over hurdles and that race has worked out well. I then made a mistake by running him back at Ballinrobe too soon. I was keen to come back here and I must say the ground is unbelievable. I know Paul (Moloney, Clerk of the Course) is down in Listowel and Val (O’Connell) is stepping in for him here. It’s like a carpet out there and you could run anything on it. His jumping is very slick. Ricky Doyle has done all the schooling on him and said from day one to forget about the Flat and go jumping with him. Hopefully he’ll get a bit of confidence now and we can always go back on the Flat.

Mulligan opens his training account with Wrecking Ball Paul
I rode years ago and I took out a licence last year as Ben and Rory (sons) were riding and I got a few horses for them. We have ten horses. I worked for Jimmy Fitzgerald and Ger Lyons and gave it up around 2003 and did all sorts of work since then. It took a long time to get this horse to settle. Ben (Harvey) gave him a great ride and did exactly as he was told. He ran at Listowel yesterday and it took the edge off him. If he’s mad fresh he’d run away with the jockey. We thought he was more of a Flat horse and he likes that ground. My son Ben has been riding him for nearly two years. He’s leading him up and has him relaxed. He licked the pot last night and drank a load of water so we said we’d chance him today. A lot of the syndicate were working on St James’ Hospital.
Too Bright completes 272/1 mixed double for Meade
He was good schooling at home but the first day (over fences) he was disappointing and he just reached for one down the back the last day. He got things his own way today. We’ll see what the handicapper rates him and he’ll keep on the go over the summer.
