Dash D'or delights Cotter in Naas
She deserves that after two good seconds. I had a doubt whether she'd see out the six well but in fairness to her she did it well. I think there is probably better ground on this side of the track. We'll keep her going now and hopefully we're not hit too hard. Hopefully she keeps progressing. Her grand-dam is a half-sister to Lochsong and she wasn't at her best until she was five. I'm not saying she's any Lochsong but hopefully there is some improvement in her as we go along. She's only started to learn how to race now as she gave a lot of trouble early on. She's just starting to get better and better and starting to relax. I think there are one or two races left for her, she needs fairly decent ground, and we wouldn't be averse to going up to Dundalk on the all-weather. We'll play it by ear. We'll just enjoy it as we've had a good week. I'm a bit lost for words why the other one (Polly Douglas) wasn't behind her but sometimes she can run flat when she's coming into season.
Smart Flies delivers for Bolger and Manning
Heffernan plots clear route on Norway
Tennesse Waltz still has plenty of quickstep
We got him out of a claimer a couple of years ago and he's been very consistent. He's a grand, old horse and it's good to have the claimers for the likes of these horses. That's his level and probably when he steps back into handicap company he finds it a bit tougher.
Marnane lands Naas double through Cracking Name
Mullins praises Hogan's ride on Nam
Dylan gave him a lovely ride. He knew him from an apprentice race in the summer when he was a bit unlucky as he met Glib Speech on a going day. It was great that he was still claiming seven and I had no problem putting him back up. He gave him a lovely confident ride and came at the right time. He got a little break after his last run which was a help I'd say. I don't know what he'll do now, he is what he is, and we could probably look at Dundalk as he's won twice there before. He's dead genuine and would give his life for you. He's still a colt and he just didn't give me any reason to cut him. Sometimes when you cut them you could be waiting six months to get the horse back and I thought what's the point as I had him winning and running well. Then he got a new owner so we kept the thing going for the new owner. I might cut him in the winter if he loses form or something.
O'Brien doubles up with Fightfortheroses
The step up in trip suited. He's genuine and he stays well. He found plenty for a bit of pressure. He handles soft ground as well so he's versatile enough. He's no world beater but he's a grand horse and he tries hard.
