Approval gets nod in opener
I didn't think he had got up from where I was watching but Chris said he always thought he was getting there,. That was too soft for him and I nearly pulled him out. He's a proper fast ground horse and wants better ground. He'll get further - he's a big baby. He's very tough and genuine. I really should have put blinkers or cheekpieces on him today. He could run in nurseries at Dundalk and we'll have a bit of fun with him.
Jpevie gains deserved success
He deserved that and has hardly run a bad race,. Maybe the tongue-tie helped him as he's made some noises before. It probably wasn't the greatest of races but he won well. A lot of them seemed to fall apart in front of him. We think he's better on better ground.
Liberty gets Rocking in time
Ronan said he was going nowhere down the back straight but the minute he got better ground wide in the home straight he flew home,. He's a good ground horse and it was good to yielding here yesterday so what can you do. He'll go back to Dundalk.
Ablaze lights up during downpour
We were very disappointed with him at Naas (last time) but he had a snotty nose afterwards so we gave him three weeks off,. He was showing his old speed again. We said to Rory not to fight him or he wouldn't get home.
Cleary doubles up on Dream
Gorman lands double with another Rock
Hayes shines on Solo
That was the plan to jump out a make it. There's a bit better ground on the outside,. The horses are running well and it's great to get a win with him as he's a great servant. That's his ninth win.
