Blondes makes winning start for Griffin
It was a weak race but I'm delighted to get it. I had planned about going the handicapping road with her but her owner Mark McDonagh, who is at a Rolling Stones concert today, spotted this race a few weeks ago and it has worked out great,. She'll tip away for the summer on the handicap route now. I had her mother (Sallyanka) and she won two bumpers and while this one isn't as speedy, she is tough and genuine and will come on a lot from that.
De Bromhead delighted to get a winner for the Halsalls
McDonogh saddles 1st winner for McManus
That's my first winner for J.P. and it was lovely to get one for him,. I come from Limerick and I learned my trade out where he came from, with P.P. Hogan's brother Gerard in Ballycahane. I started off there and it started the whole thing and myself and J.P. go back to the Queen's Hotel (in Cheltenham) all those years ago in the '70s.
