Mantracker lands gamble on debut
I was waiting for that race for a while as he's a Median Auction horse. I thought the favourite would be very hard to beat but this lad has always gone well and just needed a bit of time. He's a grand big horse with a lovely attitude. I love the stallion and he's been very good to me. We won't do too much with him this year. I could bring him back to seven because he's going to be sharper after that and it's a hard track to win around first time. He'll go on any ground, and the faster the ground the better.
Smullen & Rogers combine with Ojinjintka
I thought she was going to give it away as she was idle in front. She wants it soft and just got away with it on the ground. Hopefully she will go to Listowel.
Mr defies top-weight under Leonard
He did that well. He had to commit as they went a mad gallop early on and all he does is stay. He got a soft lead. He's always run well, and hopefully he'll make a nice three-year-old hurdle horse.
Dynamite gets back to winning ways
He's a long way clear of those on ratings. I thought we might go faster and Jamie (Codd, on Ask Susan) put me in a bit of a pocket turning in. I was never worried because I knew when I got any bit of a gap that he'd pick up, and that's what he did. Once he got to the front he's been quite lairy but I was cantering at all stages and that will do his confidence the power of good. It's difficult for him as he hasn't won for a couple of years, and that should do him the world of good. I'd imagine he'll stay on the Flat as he's not a natural hurdler. He could go back hurdling later but he's in the Irish Leger and the Melbourne Cup so we'll see what Willie decides.
Tisamystery lands some nice bets
Julio records fifth win of the year
Dont Tell No One takes the last at Killarney
Galway sharpened him up and he jumped better today. Hopefully he's a horse that can go further.
