Ferrari shows good speed to land Claimer for Feane

Forza downs favourite to gain first career success

He's a nice colt, he had a lovely run the first day at the Curragh. We were happy to come here and bring him back to six as he has a lot of pace. He learned plenty that day at the Curragh and Seamie was very complimentary of him there. It was very straightforward and he's a nice colt, he's learning all the time and still has a bit of learning to do. He's solid and mature and I'd say we'll kick on with him for the rest of the summer. He's a very good mover, likes fast ground and Seamie said he handled the undulations of the track here. We might go across the water as the summer progresses for a stakes race.

Extensio provides O'Donnell family with memorable success

I said to her coming in that we'll get rid of that 10lb claim anyhow! She has one more to go. This horse has been an absolute friend to our family. I was a bit critical of myself the last day when we came here to have our first run of the season. He blew the house down afterwards and I went home really critical of myself that I hadn't him quite ready for that sort of a task but we got him right. This horse continues to improve. I had a chat with (handicapper) Garry O'Gorman earlier purely out of curiosity about the conditions of this race because it cut up disappointingly. He said you've got to look at Galway but I just feel that even for the Flat ground there they will water and he rattles off that. I think I'll avoid that temptation. We've got to look at the English Cesarewitch, obviously he'll creep up a bit now. Joey (Sheridan) in Newmarket last year said maybe two is your job. He might have earned an entry into the Irish Cesarewitch if we can creep in. I was a little bit cautious because of how much the race took out of him the last day. Everyone had a good chat and we outlined how to get him back. It took him a while to get back to eating. We took his blood last week and scoped him and we were happy. It was hard to resist running with only six being declared and for Sylvia it was a nice race to ride in. She works full-time in BBA in the shipping department and rides out for Ken Condon every morning. She comes home at the weekend and sleeps and that's allowed!. It's wond

Whelan Grateful for Group 3 win on rare Ballydoyle ride

Four Blondes easily wins her maiden at sixth attempt

It was lovely to get a maiden with her, she's a filly that had good form last year at the Curragh. She finished fifth at the Curragh last time, Shane had ridden her work and was fairly confident with her. She had come on a good bit from the Curragh. You'd imagine that Curragh form was going to stand to her today as this mightn't have been the strongest of maidens. Aidan's came out and Joseph's came out so you could understand why she shortened in price. She deserved that on last year's form. She's by Gleneagles and wouldn't mind a little bit more ease in the ground. She's out of a six-time winning Exceed And Excel mare but seven furlongs to a mile would be fine. She can be a little bit saucy and has a little bit of a funny head carriage but she could be progressive. She came out of the breeze-ups here last year and it's brilliant for John (Bowden) to get a winner, she's a grand filly to have. She has a nice pedigree and to win a maiden with her will help.
