Young Fitzy wins for Queally & O'Keeffe
That was great. The (Bitter Sweet) syndicate, who are from Galway, have been patient with the horse. This race looked a nice opportunity and it's great that it worked out. We will see what sort of handicap mark he gets now and go from there. The syndicate actually bought him off of Shane Fitzgerald so he will be delighted as well. We fancied him today and I let Darragh (O'Keeffe) take the pressure rather than riding him myself!
Two wins in six days for Coolnacritta
We were kind of forced to run here because he was knocked out of 95s after he won at the weekend. He went up eight pounds for his win on Saturday and we came in here with a five-pound penalty. We were rolling the dice a little bit, but it worked out grand. He came out of the race the other day fine and he didn't do much since. We didn't see any reason why we shouldn't run him today.
First double for Mark McDonagh
Owenacurra Lass bounces back to form at Tramore
That's great and I'm particularly happy for Pat Crowley who pre-trained this mare and only sent her to us about a month ago. Pat pre-trains for us and he done a great job with her. When you look back at her form from last year she was as high as 113. If she was to come back to that today we thought she would have a great chance because she loves it around here.
Tisa makes dream start over fences as O'Keeffe doubles-up
She is a fine big mare. I'm delighted for the Byrne's, John owns her and his uncle Paddy is here today representing the family.
Recite A Prayer shows his true worth
It was a good performance. It's a very tight track for a horse of his size. He was nimble enough to still travel well into the race and hopefully he will have a future. That was a tricky task for him today and he came through it nicely. With the size and scope of him he could have a nice future over fences.
Chapter Two not an easy read for bookies
