The Lord Maid gives Halley a red-letter day in Clonmel

She is improving every time she runs and her pedigree suggests the older she gets the better she'll run. I was questioning with all the rain, but Philip said she loved that ground and he gave her a cracking ride. She kept going and going the last day, so we changed tactics today and her jumping was brilliant. The more she runs the better she'll get. We'll give her a couple of weeks and she likes that ground, so hopefully that ground will come again. She is also very good over fences, but we'll stay hurdling for the time being. That's my second winner and my first jumps winner. I have a few horses which hopefully will show something over the next few days and have 15 or 16 of our own horses.

Kilbarry Saint outclasses her rivals

She had a good point-to-point run, but became disappointing in the interim when she became free and it took us a while to get the hang of her. She is an honest mare and, even though she is by Saint des Saints, she had a Flat pedigree and her dam is by Martillo. Black-type will be the ultimate aim, she is going the right way now and you'd never know she might be in the right place at the right time some day.

Carlas Big Jim toughs it out best

I've ridden 15 point-to-point winners, with one this season. I'm based down in Cork and go to Louis Archdeacon, Eugene O'Sullivan, Daniel Murphy - I'd be there every day - and Michelle Duggan as well. I try to do all the locals. He was knocking on the door, is a good honest horse and Cal was fantastic and is great value for the 7lb (claim). I'd like to give the horse a break now as he has been busy and, if the ground goes, it'll be a field of grass next for him and he'll definitely be chasing next season. I'm delighted for his owner Derry Fitzpatrick who also had a winner on Tuesday for Brendan Walsh (Added Bonus) - we are all local to him and, in fairness, he always keeps his horses local. We have five or six horses to race, but I do a lot of breaking horses for people.

Sexton times it perfectly aboard Mick Charlie

I said to Kevin beforehand that the other horses were likely to go mad (fast) on the ground. I hadn't him as ready as I had him going to Tramore and I said to Kevin to ride him to run well and he is a genius at doing that. . He tipped around, never panicked, came home well and you could see that the leaders were starting to walk coming to the last. I thought the two miles would be too sharp for him, but he is a great horse who has now won five races and retains his enthusiasm as a 12 year old. . Kevin has come back from injuries and is a great rider who deserves his chance.
