Bene does the business in opener
Zebo rallies like a Lion for Geraghty
Landmark Morrissey win Fromtheclouds
I only have my restricted licence a few months, and I've had four point-to-point winners. She won a point-to-point (at Glenbane) in October and has always wanted good ground. Today was the first day she got it, and I was expecting her to be in the first three. It's even better that she's won. I bought her as a foal and have had her since then. We'll keep her going now and see what the handicapper does. I'm close to Clonea beach near Dungarvan, and do most of the training on the beach.
Chinook flies in for Cluskey
He's been knocking on the door his last couple of runs. We were giving him gaps between his races but we've got a string of runs into him this year and it's worked out well. We have been waiting on the good ground for him, and we'll look for something similar.
Lough does Archdeacon proud
He's been fairly consistent apart from his last run at Mallow. He could go to Killarney and then maybe the Galway Blazers.
Captain brings up first double for Archdeacon
They are the only two I have in for the summer, and they both love the good ground. Declan was fairly bullish about this fella, and the good ground is the key to him. He could go to Killarney, and then on to Galway.
Course specialist Annie does it again
She won't get into the Plate so we will probably bring her to the Galway Blazers, and she might run in the big amateur Flat race as well. We were a bit concerned that they may have over watered here but she is very honest and quick. She has run here five times now, winning four and was second on the other start.
Blue is the colour but not as predicted
She did it really well, and came on from her last run at Kilbeggan. She is a half-sister to Mad Brian, and she will go hurdling now. Fergal gave her a great ride, and he was very patient on her.
