Pearl Earing sparkles in Sligo

Vasoni ploughs through the soft ground

She did it well. It's a long journey here, but it will be an easy drive home. That's her fourth win over six or seven furlongs. She's a specialist over the distance and ground. She has to have a bit of cut.

Engage The Dance shows his best moves

I'm lucky. He was supposed to run in Bellewstown as I thought the ground would be better there. They were one short at declaration time of getting a divide in this race so I put him in thinking it would do somebody good. Me and Niall have always loved him, but it has never happened for him. He (Niall) said the ground was ideal for him today. He's always worked like he would win one.

The Long Dog scares them all off in Sligo

He's a horse we always thought an awful lot of. He's a big horse and we minded him as a two-year-old. Hopefully there's tonnes of improvement and we'll take it from here. We think he's progressive and Chris gave him a great ride. There's a lack of mile or mile and two maidens at the moment so it's nice to get one.

Stephen Hero gives Oliver 90/1 double

The Black Russian scoots round Sligo

It's a pity Tony Kelly has gone back to England as he did a great job on him and deserves a mention. Andrew did a good job on him as he's tricky. He's an honest old horse. Some lads would say he's a rogue, but he stresses himself out so much as he tries so hard.

Harangue brings up hat-trick in a week

Some Officer sees it out well in the last

He's a grand horse. He was a bit green over hurdles the first time, but he jumped the last two brilliantly. He's small. He might be good enough to win an ordinary winners' race somewhere. A test of stamina suits him and he'll make a three-mile hurdler, he's gutsy. He goes with a bit of cut. He wouldn't want real deep ground, but he goes on soft.
