Ballymak takes opener at Navan
He's a lovely horse and you won't see the best of him until he's in front of a fence over three miles. He won his point to point for us and then Gigginstown bought him.
Aitmatov wins Lismullen Hurdle
That was sweet in so many ways but mainly I'm delighted for the owner John O'Meara who is unwell at the minute. He is one of best friends and hopefully this will cheer him. He'll probably take his chance in the Hatton's Grace now, he's there to be beaten on heavy ground.
Judge scores for O'Grady
He's a much stronger and better horse this year and he has progressed well and is heading in the right direction. He will either go for the Royal Bond or the Sandra & Barry Kelly Memorial hurdle back here. We will have to discuss it with the owners.
Houdini impresses at Navan
We will comeback here for the Troytown in a fortnights time. We decided to take advantage of his hurdle rating and thankfully everything worked out well.,
Big Zeb wins Fortria
We'll either go to Sandown or the John Durkan next. We'll see how he comes out of the race. I'd of preferred not to run him on this sort of ground but there was nothing else for him and he needed more experience over fences. Ground will decide where we'll go next. I think he'll be a stone better on better ground.
Osana completes double for O'Grady/McNamara
I'm very pleased with his jumping and before today I didn't really know too much about him. We haven't really done too much work with him we've just schooled him so I hope he'll improve from that. We will comeback here on the 5th of December for a winner's of one race.
Meade/Carberry in double form
That's two from two now and he looked an unlikely winner in both. It was great to get the win. I'm not sure where we'll go next but I suppose the Drinmore is a possibility now.
Meade Smiling after Navan treble
We've been very happy with this lad at home. . We were a little disappointed with him the last day but he's improved an awful lot since then. He's a very smart sort and we'll probably go hurdling with him now. We bought this fellow from John Halley who recommended him.
