Earl lords it over his rivals

He was second on his last couple of runs and when we saw only seven entries we said we would take our chance,. That is probably him finished now for the summer as he has been on the go for a good while. He should make a smart chaser; he is from a staying chasing family. He is a good fun horse and the owners will knock plenty of fun out of him. When he comes back in he will go chasing.

Compo in Mayo for Scottish faller Boru

He was unlucky not to win the second day in Perth. He has matured mentally more than anything, the penny has dropped with him and he can switch off now,.

Gatechecker racks up 3rd win

I told him not to be in front too soon but I didn't mean that! We will try and find something else for him now, maybe a handicap. He might get a bit further. He will make a lovely chaser, he won his point-to-point. He just doesn't like being in front too soon,.

It makes up for coming second in the Bishopscourt for sure. I'm a bit stuck for words I'd suppose. The horse has been in good old form and I thought we were up against it but he was in at a nice weight and we said we'd take our chance. He ran a blinder. He jumped away and Brian gave him a great spin - you couldn't ask for more. I'm delighted for my father, the breeder, Tommy (Flaherty), and his sire, Pushkin. He's a thousand Euros for a stud fee which has to be great value. The handful of horses he has are all running well. This fella likes the bit of good ground so we'll keep him going.

Ballinrobe trip pays off for the O'Briens

That was great. The lads always liked him. I'm not sure what kind of race it was and he will probably go for another bumper. I'd imagine he will come on from that,.
