That's About Right for super-sub King

Mullins withdraws most of Thurles runners

O'Grady delighted to see Malinas Glory off the mark

At last - it was a while coming! He did it nicely in the end today. He is belonging to a 10-member syndicate from all over and some are local to us, so I'm delighted.

O'Keeffe doubles up on Therellbguddaysyet

I rode him myself last week when I felt the ground was that bit solid and he wants 2m4f. I was a fraction disappointed, but I minded him once his chance had gone and left him canter home. I was delighted to see Willie's horse (Mullins, Fishery Lane) coming out as he looks a very good horse and I told Darragh to ride him to run well and that we'd take it from there. He is a fierce kind horse who was only broken when he was six and Jack De Bromhead actually rode him when he was a breaker. Jack used to come up to us during the summer and was a wonderful kid - he might be looking down on us today.

Beauforts Storm takes full advantage of non runners

She was 16/1 this morning, so it was some shock when the others (ahead of her in the betting) all came out. She probably wouldn't have won otherwise, but I think she'd have been in the money as she ran well here last week. She is a nice mare and will come back here for a Listed novice before Christmas. She is a good ground filly, is getting better with every run, and that will boost her confidence. Her year will be over once the ground gets too soft.

Brave Troop brings up a gamble

The main thing was to get over his last (hurdle) run when he fell (at Gowran Park in September last year), but he got him around nicely and he settled. We were fortunate to get this type of ground in November, so we'll probably tip away on the all-weather for the rest of the year.
