Shanahan wins opener at Sligo
I'm delighted for the filly she ran really well here the last day, she ran into a nice place behind a good horse called Beth. She's a very smart filly and Pat gave her a beautiful ride, we've no plans for her yet. The owners are from Waterford and it took them 5 hours to get here I'd imagine the journey home will be shorter.
This is the horses 4th time winning here in Sligo over the same trip. On his ratings he was entitled to win here, he has a bit of class. He was unlucky in running here the last day, the plan was to make all and Martin gave him a great ride. We might go for a handicap in Listowel next he has run well around there before.
Hogan and Curtis off the mark
The winner has had plenty of problems in the past, we were glad to get a win out of him on the sixth attempt. We might go for another 45-60 handicap, he's an honest horse and jumps hurdles well so we might go down that route either.
