Paddington puts on show in opener
I'm delighted with him,. We gave him a bit of time. He was a horse that always showed a little bit of class.
Hispanic blitzes rivals
When he ran first time he was very green and then the next day he was even greener,. We said maybe the penny is not dropping at all so we put a pair of blinkers on him at home and he grew another leg. Seamie said he let him go at the two and it was over. It just goes to show you what can happen when a horse is mentally a little bit backward. He's very fast, he showed a lot of speed and then he quickened off it. I'm not sure if there is anything left for him. There might be a listed race in Doncaster we could look at but he might be finished for the year.
Sonja reels in front-runner to score in style
Harley Street benefits from patient ride
He had a lovely run here the last day when he was very green through the race,. He really only got going, going past the line the last day and looked like a horse crying out to go a mile-and-a-half. Wayne said he was very happy with him. Looking at him he could even get further, he's still babyish. He could make a nice four-year-old. He's a very unexposed horse.
Chally Chute on an upward curve
He's getting better with racing. He had a setback as a three-year-old and we just had to wait for him, he's improving all the time. He handled Dundalk well when he won up there but I wasn't too worried about this ground with him being by Fast Company. It was a nice race and a nice track for him. Jamie was very cool on him, the plan wasn't to be that far back on him but he rode him for luck and it happened. I'm delighted for Jamie to ride a winner for us, his Dad (Anthony) was a great friend of mine and his grand-mother actually taught me to ride. I spent a lot of time out in Powells' as a kid.
Boher Road off the mark on third start
He's a nice horse and he has improved with every run. We knew we had the form in the book to be there or thereabouts today. It's great to get a win, he's home-bred by Pat McCarthy who is a great supporter of the yard. We'll see what mark he gets, we've no real plan for him. He could be a horse that goes over hurdles, Pat will decide that. Ronan gave him a great ride, he could have done with a bit more cover but it just didn't work out for him today. Ronan says he'll go further so hopefully when he learns his job he'll do that.
Keane back level with Lee in title race
My wife Siobhan owns him, she was mad about him and she saw him in a claimer a few months ago at Dundalk. He ran average there and he wasn't claimed so we bought him off Leanne (Breen) afterwards,. I kinda had in my head that she was buying him to retire him as a pet but we stuck him back into the routine to lead a few two-year-olds and it sweetened him up. He's back in as good of order as ever and he was well handicapped on his old form. The way he was working at home and the way he ran the last day it was nice to see him go and do that.
Mymomentintime seizes his opportunity
I thought he couldn't get beat in Mallow the last day and I do not know what happened, maybe he didn't get the six. He was as dead as a maggot and we blood tested him, it was one of those things. I honestly thought he'd do that three races ago but sometimes those sprinters can take a while to cop on. He used to be slow out and a bit of an eejit but he'll make a lovely horse next year as he's a big strong horse. He's maturing all the time. He could go for a similar race here on Sunday week. If not I'll leave him off for the year.
