Calm Bay lands major gamble
He ran well at Down Royal on soft ground that he doesn't really cope with so he was entitled to run well. He's a great servant and five furlongs is his trip. He'll come back here again. My horses have been running well for a while now and hopefully this will last for another while!. Sam gave him a nice ride, he's very strong.
Strike Action sheds her maiden tag
Steps To Freedom the star attraction
He's Got Rhythm shows his moves
Griffin comes off cold list
It worked out perfectly for the horse as he wants cover and has a turn of foot. I'm very disappointed it has taken this long for him to win. He has to have good ground. I've had a very lean spell as I didn't have winter horses. I have 12 horses riding out which is down from 40/45 four to five years ago. Like a lot of other people its about keeping your head above the water. We lack a graded horse at the minute which every yard needs. Hopefully one of the younger horses will pick up the baton.
Double for Harrington and Berry
He was very unlucky in Naas. I put the cheekpieces on him to make him concentrate as he was ducking and diving at Naas. I'll probably take them off next time. He did it well. It was a low grade handicap but hopefully there's a bit of improvement in him.
Good circumstances for Wachman and Lordan
Near 70/1 treble for Wachman and Lordan
She missed a bit of time and needs good ground. She'll definitely be running in Stakes races if we get the ground. We'll step her up to a mile and a half.
