Baoju beats her brother in Dundalk's opener
Birthday boy Flynn making hay with Isles
she's improving all the time and the good thing about her is the way she gets away from the gates. She's gone and into her stride straight away.. I was surprised how far she was in front when I looked around and she's done it easily. Hopefully the handicapper won't hit her too much. There is nothing around at this level as quick as her. There is no point taking a pull as she's keen and it's better to just let her use her stride.
Persian Calyph scores for Harrington/Foley
he ran well the first day in Leopardstown and I don't know what happened him the last day . he was beaten too far for it to be right. I had a good draw today so I used it.
Three wins in last four starts for Star Power
Cool Athlete records fifth win
he (Cool Athlete) is good in that grade although he'll be out of that now. Hopefully the handicapper is not too harsh as he was slow enough to drop him. he loves it around here and has good solid form here. It was a good performance although it might not have been the strongest race and he'll be kept going here; it gets me off the cold list!
Equation Of Time causes 16/1 upset
I bought him in Newmarket last October and he had some form over there. He's had little bits of problems on and off but nothing major. He's highly strung and I thought the hood would settle him down and he likes this all-weather surface. He's progressive and could even jump a hurdle as we've schooled him at home. It's nice to get off the cold list and we've had a lot of winners here . it's been lucky to us.
Boldini earns Classic quotes with maiden win
he was a little slowly away but relaxed well and they didn't go mad. He got a nice easy lead and my lad quickened but was quite idle when he got there; he had a good gawk at the line coming to it. He's a lovely horse on that fast ground and we have a couple of nice War Fronts now and he looks a stallion going places.
