Freebie Lily takes the opener at Dundalk
O'Brien's only runner today takes the second
Backbench Blues wins as expected
Tongue strap works its magic on A Hit Is A Hit
He needs a test of stamina. He'll go for the Ulster Cesarewitch next at Down Royal over two miles two furlongs (on Friday next). I hope the handicapper isn't too hard on him as this was on the all weather. I think the tongue tie helped as he''s a nervy horse and has been holding his breath in races.
Katherine scores on sixth time of asking
Our horses are hitting form now. They are in good nick. She had enough form to win a race of that calibre. She had a good draw and we had to ride her positively. We'll come back here again with her. Shane (Foley) gave her a good ride and is riding very well.
Money for Liberty proves significant
My horses have hit a rich vein of form. He ran very well at Galway off a bad draw. He ran well at Bellewstown before that. He was drawn well and likes it here as he has won here before. He'll be back here for the winter. He is well handicapped on his old form. I think he would have won by more but for the interference.
Another win for Kilkenny as Akinspirit scores
The summer is near over and he's a summer horse. He might get another run in September, maybe back here. He handles the track here. That's a double today with Kilkenny's win (In the All-Ireland Hurling Final)!
Marcus takes the last for Flynn & Grant
