Green Tag's the favourite and loses the race
Princess Aloof too classy for her rivals
She just didn't get going in time at Galway. We had a good draw today so the plan was to get out and make use of it and Fran did a great job.
Manalapan times it well at Gowran
I thought that was a very good performance for a three-year-old as he had a lot of weight. He's got loads of ability but he's difficult to train and has his problems. He's in Dundalk on Sunday, but he had to work hard there and it may come too soon. I think when the heavy ground comes his season will be over.
Along Came Casey on upward curve
Castle Guest dominates at Gowran Park
Donovan praised for work on Ned's Indian
He kept getting sore shins and I'm delighted for the owners who have stuck with him (Edward Power from Wexford).
