Brown bags first 'track' win
She was entitled to do it on her run the last day but I was afraid when I saw money coming for Paul Nolan's horse (runner-up Anstand),. The plan is to go to Thurles in two weeks for another handicap hurdle. I don't think the handicapper will be too hard on her as she has ran to her mark every day and today's race fell apart. She had finished second in four winners' point to points where she had lovely form and wasn't beaten a total of two or three lengths. Ciaran Fennessy had her in her point to points and sent her on to me and it's my first winner for the lads (Christy O'Connell and William Tanner) who are Corkmen.
Shean grabs Glory again
It is great to get another with with her and he (Enright) was good on her. She is consistent at that level and we might potter away in another one of these again and we might also find a little handicap chase for her, although she hasn't run over fences yet.
Breeze going the right direction for Winters
He always runs consistently, he is a big leggy fella although we were worried the ground might be tacky,. Chris Donovan started with Adrian Maguire and was with us but is now flying with Declan Queally - we said we'd better make use out of him after making him! Chris' family are steeped in racing and I went to college with his uncle. The horse has been on the go since we bought him as a three year old for E25,000 and he is owned by a great syndicate. We've had good days out but needed to get our head in front at some stage. Today was a long day as we had the whole yard running and we were depending on one of them to win. He needed to win today.
