Nice start for Bellewstown favourite backers

Sweet success for The Pargey Bee

He does have a think about the game, I think he is a bit of a deep thinker. He likes to have a cigar before he puts his head in front!. He did it, though, and he did it without headgear so you can't fault him. He's maybe just a late bloomer mentally, but hopefully the penny might drop now. I think he is still green and I'm delighted for the guys that got him, he wasn't an expensive horse. He has given them a lot of fun but it is all being well being placed, but you want to get that win so you can breathe a sigh of relief! They are delighted. Siobhan (Rutledge) gave him a peach, she wasn't taking no for an answer.

The Bog Bank finally makes the breakthrough

She has been unlucky. She's an honest, little filly and she tries hard. She just gets a bit outpaced at times and comes home well. She flew home in Gowran Park the last day.

Sod's Law records first victory in Ireland

Charming Lady brings up McCourt's double

I gave her a chance in Fairyhouse but she ran with the choke out a little bit early on. She seems to have learned plenty from it. She was very professional for a track like this. She's a lovely filly and we've always thought a bit of her. She's big and you would imagine there is improvement in her. I just wanted to get that out of the way, I'm not going to over-race her. I was a bit worried this morning when I saw soft but I started going through pedigrees and Charm Spirit (sire) won on soft and heavy and the granddam of this one was a decent mare and won on soft. She'll definitely go on quick ground so you'd be hoping she would be versatile. She is pacey and she finished out well. Conor Maxwell rode her a lot of work early on and he said six or seven (furlongs) and that she is quick enough for six.

Shabaaby another winner for Levins

It was actually a nice performance. He probably had the form to do something like that. I was very happy with his run in Down Royal, he was arguably a little bit unlucky but I think he might have bumped into one up there. He came out of the race really well and we decided to give this a crack. He had course form from a run last year and it is a big advantage when you know you handle the track. We are on a bit of a roll and long may it continue. I think I badly trained him last year and we pulled up stumps with him towards the end of the season and gave him a break. He came back a different horse and he showed us a lot of exuberance on the gallops. We went there (Down Royal) quietly confident, we thought he would show up well and he did. He was maybe well handicapped if he transferred it to the track. Down Royal gave us that confidence that he had brought it back to the track. We were happy to turn him out relatively quickly.

Keane back amongst the winners on Tronador
