Dramatic opener at Wexford goes to 80/1 shot Buttevant Lady
The owner (John Hutch) had a tenner each-way on her at 100/1,. She disappointed in two point-to-points on bad ground. She had a little wind operation and that seems to have worked. Her dam is out of a full-sister to Synchronised and is by Sadler's Wells. It's great to get a win with her, she wasn't worth anything beforehand and now she is worth a couple of pounds.
Some compo for Nolan with Cash win
It's nice to get back with a winner after what happened the mare in the first. She would have been a nice mare when we'd eventually get her to settle, but that's racing,. This mare wants a half mile further and she was leaning the whole way with Sean. She was tough after the last, I thought she was going to be collared because the second horse jumped it well as well. She toughed it out well and handled the ground. I said to Sean not to take her out of her comfort zone. He could never take her back and her jumping kept her in it. She'll more than likely go for a handicap now but we'll see.
Fizz shows Tipp success to be no fluke at Wexford
We fancied her coming into this. Adam sat on her the other day up the Old Vic and he said she had improved from her run at Tipperary. The person who plays the biggest part in this is my partner Danny, he rides her out every day. She is quirky enough and has had her problems but hopefully we have got to the bottom of them now and she can win a few more. The tactics have changed completely with her and we were lucky enough that she got an easy lead there again. There is a winners of two at Bellewstown on July 5th so we will probably aim for that. Hopefully the ground will stay nice for her and fingers crossed we might make it three in-a-row.
Buttons And Bows another winner for in-form Pat Flynn yard
We are delighted with her. We thought the trip might be a bit short today but we felt she might get away with it, with the pull up to the finish here. I told the young fella to take his time and that she would stay well up the hill,. She is a lovely mare and will probably be better over further. She just got away with the ground today, if it was any firmer I wouldn't have ran her as she is a big mare. Her mother won for me and JP as well. I actually sold her to JP and then he gave me this one out of her so it's brilliant.
59/1 Wexford double for McManus and O'Keeffe
That's nine wins now for us and he is a great little servant. He was hardly ever out of the first three last year,. Darragh gave him a great ride, he is a free seven pounds. He needed all of that seven to win but it's great to get it and it's great to get him started over fences. He is a summer horse and as long as the ground is good we will keep him going.
