Sass wins for the hurlers on All-Ireland day
She got hurt the last day, and was a bit sore after Navan, but she seems to be okay again. She will probably go back to the Curragh again shortly,.
Another win at Dundalk for Togoville
He has a lot of natural speed and can go any distance from five furlongs to a mile. He is in good form and is a happy horse.
General in charge on start two
Strait to Laytown now for Zanzibar
I was happy to see him drawn in five, and the race set up nicely with Maontri going off in front. He comes off the bridle plenty early but finds plenty,. He's been consistent all season when he has his ground. He minds himself when it's too fast and that's probably why he's kept sound for so long.
Kodiac's Back to number 1 in 1st time blinkers
He had first time blinkers and travelled well, although I thought he might have got a lead for a bit longer,.
Bombay gives Joyce a boost
The plan was to ride him prominently from his wide draw. He worked well during the week, and the bit slower surface suited over the shorter trip. I'll have to talk to the owner but he'll probably have a few weeks off and come back here later in the year. We lost Majestic Timeline who got a hemorrhage in her gut about a week after her last run in June. It's quite a rare thing, and we need one to replace her.
Cape springs a shock
We were very disappointed (towards the rear in May and June) with his first two runs but he's a big backward horse and is probably only coming into himself now.
Life left in Tiger yet
