Julie's Jet takes opener at Tipperary
Utirllo supplied Reid with first winner
Duff wins Concorde Stakes
You could think you are a racehorse trainer when you have a horse like him. We are thinking of going to Hong Kong with him. The trick is to get a rating of 115 then he'd have a choice of the mile or sprint race over there. He only needs to go up one pound and after today I think he'll go up enough. Fran gave him a great ride and he gets on very well with him.
Native cosy winner of Tipperary Hurdle
You could train this horse on a lead as he doesn't take any work and he's very clear winded. He's a very smart horse and he's probably best when fresh. I don't think he was at his best when finishing fourth behind Hurricane Fly at Punchestown. He will go to Down Royal next where there is a race for second year novices and we'll take it from there.
Russell at his best aboard Archie Boy
He's been a great old servant and he'll have a break now until February or March. The plan is to run him at Aintree. He needs a real fast pace over two miles which he didn't get at Listowel.
Russell in double form
He ran well last Winter on soft ground which he doesn't like. He had a short rest after Punchestown and we were going to go chasing but decided we might pick up another hurdle. He'll have a short break now and I'm 99% sure we'll go chasing next. We'll put him away when the ground goes. He's a good ground Summer horse and his ideal trip is over two miles.
O'Grady wins with Armaramak
Dumitas wins last
He's going to the Doncaster Sales now and he'll make a lovely horse in England. He likes good ground and he's loads of class. He disappointed at Roscommon the last day but that was because of the heavy ground.
