Rising Sign an exciting prospect for Lyons

She’s very much a work in progress and can be a bit buzzy. We knew she had that in her but it wasn’t all about today. We’ll discuss it with Barry (Mahon) and see how she comes out of it but there will be no rush back and you might not see her until a trial next year. All our fillies are ready like that. They have done their work and I just want to see them on the track. If they don’t win first time, they’ll win second time and I put them away. You would like what you’ve seen there. Like a lot of Irish maidens you don’t know what you’ve beaten but she was trained to enjoy the experience and it was all about tomorrow. She quickened away and I love how she ran from the winning post to the hill, that was the most impressive part I thought.

Lyons & Keane double up

We thought she would have won her maiden no problem and the first bit of light at the end of the tunnel was Navan where we got chinned. I thought that was a nice workmanlike performance. She’s hard on herself and you can see a bit of blood in her mouth. She carries her head low going down to the start and kicks herself in the jaw. Hopefully there is another day of two in her as that is the first winner we’ve had for Mrs Patino for about a year. I’m delighted as she’s a very loyal owner.

Fleetfoot digs deep for Rory Cleary

Kinirons strikes again at his 'lucky track'

We think a lot of him and Sean (Murphy, part-owner with his cousin Gary) bred him and lives just across the road in Ballymore. We had him last year but he’s big and kept growing. We left him a bit short of work as he’s a lot of natural ability and he’s a horse with a big future. He’s Flat bred but has jumped a hurdle and could be anything. Robbie rode him in a gallop a few weeks ago and loved him. We said we’d come local here. It’s actually three years ago at this meeting when I trained my first winner. It’s been a very lucky track as I rode my first winner here and also had my first winner as an owner here. They should have more meetings here!

Winning handicap debut for Star Galaxy

Joyce keeps great run going on Final Check

He’s a good little rider. We always knew she has a little flat spot and I said ride her with loads of confidence as she will come good for you. . She’s progressing and it’s her time of the year as I think she’ll appreciate the easy ground.

Wrist Art continues Doyle's purple patch

They are running that little bit above themselves at the moment,. He’s been consistent the last couple of years getting placed but just found that little edge today and did it well. Wayne gave him a lovely ride as he did half get a run with him halfway and he got him settled again. He rode him nice and cool and that’s what he needs.
