Grey Leads them home in Gowran opener
He’s a very genuine horse and I’d say there is loads of improvement within a year. The ground is fine for him as long as there are not extremes, he would not want it firm.
Largo on top at Gowran
Troop marches to easy win
Sonja too strong for older rivals
Snow strikes late to grab success
She is out of Snow Pixie who is a sister of Snow Fairy. I’m not sure where we will go but she liked that cut in the ground and was brave up the inside. They are two nice fillies and the other filly (Paris Review, finished third) it probably wasn’t ideal being in front but she had a good draw and we couldn’t give it away.
Tea turns the tables on Duke
I thought she would win but I didn’t think it would be that close. I’d say she needed the run in Navan and she was 10lb better off today. In fairness to the other horse he’s run well again. I think she’s a nice filly and hopefully she will go on and win again. She will go for something similar and maybe over a bit further.
Harrington doubles up with easy winner Striking
He’d a good run in Fairyhouse and it’s the first time we really had him fit. He’s had problems with his sinus and in the last month he’s really turned a corner. He’ll mix hurdles with the Flat. Shane said he was so keen that he thought he would fall in a hole and he got to the furlong pole and he took off. He could go up to two miles on the Flat.
