St Gallen delights Murphy in Killarney
I've always liked him and think he's a proper horse but he got no luck when he ran at Dundalk. He's a huge horse, he's 16.2hh so will have a future hopefully. We'll give him plenty time he is so big but he has plenty gears and will either go for a winners' or Listed race next.
Erysimum never headed in Killarney
She did it well and Billy gave her a good enterprising ride and used her experience. He slowed it up and then kicked off the turn. She's a big, improving filly and by the end of the year I hope to step her into Listed company. I still think she was harshly treated for her Sligo win and I was hoping that there was a handicap for her but conditions suited her today. Billy said a mile is far enough for her.
Untroubled Long Island Sound still unbeaten
Duke eyes Britannia for The Mouse Doctor
This is a good horse and I'd love to think he is a Britannia (Handicap at Royal Ascot) horse. He'd need to be rated 88 but 86 got in last year. As long as we are all safe and sound, he'll run in a ten furlong race at the Curragh at the weekend. I think he will need to stay nine furlongs to win the Britannia.
McCullagh boots home 509/1 double
I don't have him that long and that's just his third run for me. He was a good horse in his day and the handicapper gave him his chance today but I thought he'd need the run. I'm a farrier by trade and have six horses in training. Unfortunately this horse's previous owner Billy Perry, from Killenaule, died eight weeks ago.
Elusive In Paris enjoys Killarney
That's the second winner for his owner Orlagh Reynolds whose partner James Mescall claimed him after his run at Dundalk in April. That's his second win and his he has also been second so he was well claimed. He was unlucky the last day and was drawn 12 today but was game when he got there. We'll find another handicap for him next.
