Appreciate It wins Naas chase as Kennedy taken to hospital
it was the same as the last day and you'd love to get a lead on him as he's idle in front. I was trying to teach him today, and win, without doing something silly. He showed me the last day that he's there when I need him. It's grand to get him out again and you'd have to be happy with everything he's doing. Every day is experience for him.
Perseverance pays off for 'Shakey' Troy
Kiely collects in Naas Grade 1
it was a good performance and I got a great feel off this fellow in Tipperary. The Royal Bond Hurdle was a bit of a messy race but he was only beaten four-and-a-bit lengths so I believed he had something like that in him. It's easy to say it but he's gone and proved it. He's won over further so the trip was never going to be an issue.
Mullins completes Naas treble
he (Hunters yarn) got in underneath one or two but when I wanted him and I was going on a stride up the straight, he was good and got better at it. If I had done that with him the first day he'd probably have won as well. He improved from his first run but I wasn't happy with myself the first day. He's another nice one for the owners who are having a mighty time of it.
Opportunity knocks as Cadatharla hacks up
he won nicely and he's a nice big horse. He was quite green at times but apart from the last he jumped reasonably well. I don't know where we'll go now. He ran well in his three maiden hurdles and is after coming on. That mightn't have been the greatest race in the world but he did it nicely and it's nice to win our own race. He's a big, tall, green horse and he's learning on the job.
Connections act quickly with Cut The Rope
we can't take a whole lot of praise for this one as it goes to Richard O'Brien - we don't have him very long. Richard had recommended him to us and we bought him after doing a gallop. We made a mistake last year, he told us he'd win this bumper with Impulsive Dancer but we didn't act quickly enough. Impulsive Dancer won and Willie (Mullins) bought him, but thankfully we haven't made the same mistake twice!. Richard did a wonderful job, he's a lovely straight fella and a great fella to deal with. He trained him basically as he's not long in our place. He's a lovely relaxed horse, showed a great attitude today and is a real pro. Barry O'Neill would ride all our bumper horses but part of the deal (with O'Brien) was that Eoin would keep the ride. He gave him a super ride and dictated everything in front. He's a very likeable horse. We have no plans but he might go to Limerick for a listed bumper.
