Jasmine battles back to take Gold
She was weighted to win it and was odds-on but it was pure honesty from the filly. She was headed, put her head down and fought back. She handled the ground and would appreciate Dundalk better, that type of surface. It wasn't her fault I started her around Bellewstown and she has progressed from every run since. She is a lovely filly and if she is claimed, she is priced to be sold as our people are happy to sell with today's prizemoney and the claiming price and we move on. If she's not claimed we will go for a nursery.

'Better trainer' helps Nailed On Nina gain maiden win
Peter (Mooney) had done all the hard work and we have her about a month. He thought she was pretty well handicapped and she is a nice big filly., at which point owner Mooney interjected 'and she's with a better trainer now!'.
Lyons & Keane double-up with Blue Uluru
She doesn't get six (furlongs) at the minute, she might do in time but she is very fast and idles in front. The plan was to jump and run and 'don't take back' today. We'd have been delighted with third and put her away for the winter and hope like she would progress into something like this next year. But she has won her black-type now, has speed and is a very valuable commodity now at the moment. She did a lot of growing from two to three and if she continues to grow, we could have a real, good quality sprinter for next year. I think we'll stop with her now; there is the Mercury Stakes for her or else we could travel her but I think we'll look after her now until next year.

Stella scores despite market drift
That was a lovely performance and he is a nice horse. He took a bit of time and the owners have had to be very patient. We were able to give him time, and are now reaping the rewards. He stepped up nicely from his debut and we'll see what the handicapper does now but we could look at some of those mile and a half listed races later in the year. He should stay further being by Sea The Stars.
