Sunset gets the Kash in Limerick opener
He's been knocking on the door for a while and Jack gave him a good ride. He has won so I'm happy enough and it's another winner. We might look for a novice hurdle in England as his owners are from the UK (Paul and Clare Rooney). He'll definitely step up in trip.
Msmilan justifies favouritism
Kennedy domination continues at Limerick
he’s not the most genuine horse in the world and we’ve had to be patient with him as he has been a bit disappointing. He has loads of ability but got his head in front today and it was a deserved success. He’ll jump a fence too as his forte is his jumping and he’ll go chasing sooner rather than later.
In-form McNamara completes Limerick double
he lost his way on very heavy ground but has come back to himself on the bit of nicer ground. Hopefully he’ll win a chase before the summer ends and it’s always lovely to have a winner in those colours (J.P. McManus) - the horses are running well and some seem to want a bit of better ground. Finny gave him an excellent ride and that’s his first ride for me - I was anxious to claim off him and arguably he is the best claimer.
Heron another for De Bromhead & Lynch
Kent & Townend on the mark with Tea
She deserved that as she had a race taken off her in the Stewards' Room last year. Paul (Townend) gets on well with her.
Birthday girl Carberry on the mark with Nuadh
He worked well at home and while it probably wasn't the strongest race, I'd say he's alright. He travelled like a nice horse the whole way and Nina said he'd come on for it. He's a nice type of horse and jumps well. It was good to give Nina a winner on her birthday and the owners (Imperial Racing Syndicate) are with me a long time - we've had two horses for them and both have now won so it's great.
