Murtagh straightens up Certerach to score
He's a grand nice big horse,. He handled the ground well on what was only his second start. We were a bit worried about the track and he got a bit lonely out in front. Johnny said he got there earlier than he wanted to. We've had to be so patient with him and it took him a long time to show us anything. He's a bit of a nice prospect now. He may go to the horses-in-training sale in October.
Condon strikes again with Cat
We thought the ground might be a shade quick for him but he handled it well,. He missed a year with injury and we're delighted to win with him as it's two years since he last won. He's entered at Laytown (a week from today) and he may run there. He's a fun horse and when he's fit and well it's better to race him than work him at home. He likes Dundalk and there is a good programme there for him over the winter.
Lee in the fast Lane
He's an improving horse and wants fast ground,.
Halford and Foley at the double
I thought there was a day in her somewhere. She ran well at Leopardstown earlier in the year but then lost her way,. She's blind in one eye and we didn't discover it until I spotted a shadow in her eye after she was broken and riding. She has learned to cope with it and she might be able to win another now. She just got stuck in the ground at Sligo last time. I trained her dam, Queens Wharf, and she was a very good mare for me. She went from a rating of 68 to 106.
Choice too strong for the boys
Sequoia gets lucky at last
He's a good horse on the Flat but his wind catches him out over hurdles and he needs that fast ground,.
