McConnell has biggest winner as Go gets Another One

It was a great ride I thought because there was a lot of pace in it and he just took his time,. I wasn't sure going right-handed would suit him but he didn't mind it today. He is in Cheltenham and we'll time about it or he could go to Aintree. I'm just glad I declared him as I wasn't declaring him at 9 o'clock yesterday morning but we said we'd take our chance here with just six runners; he could have run in Ayr on Monday instead. He has been a great horse for me and has never been out of the money for me and I wish I had plenty of them!. I've had a Grade 3 winner of a juvenile hurdle about 12 years ago but this is my biggest winner.

Gatechecker gifted victory as Crest crashes out

He ran in Leopardstown on his last two runs but just isn't good enough for those top races. I said to Frank (Berry, McManus' racing manager) to find a 0-116 race he could get into and while he was 2lbs too heavy today, it was a good plan to claim the 7lbs. He has three won this year and if you had another horse to win three every year it'd be alright! . He is a tricky horse to train but we'll try and find something else for him now. He is fairly high over fences. It's nice for the man who owns him, he needs it!

Ahern and Aherne team up again in Ladies hurdle

Coromandel well backed to win bumper

She was bound to come on a lot from her first run,. I lease her to the syndicate and (my late husband) Johnny bred her and she is the last one out of Katie's Cracker. I am breeding from another sister of her's, Espresso Lady, and so have the family still and I'll keep her. We'll look for black-type now but whether we wait fro Punchestown or Aintree I don't know but I'm happy with her and am delighted to get that.
