Favourite Two Shoe Tom takes the opener
Ballinrobe is the Right course for Cullen's mare
I'm delighted with that as she threatened to do it last year. Simon gave her a fabulous ride — he put her to sleep. It's great for the lads that own her (Right Ones Syndicate). They're good friends and I'm delighted for them.
Our Nancy a tasty winner for Sean O'Keeffe
Imperial Choice has the winning habit now
675/1 double for Sean O'Keeffe at Ballinrobe
Well-bred Sligo horse scores in Mayo
He had a good run as a three-year-old and then a few things went wrong with him. He was coming right then again but had more issues. As a half-brother to Golan (2,000 Guineas winner and Epsom Derby runner-up) and Tartan Bearer (also second at Epsom) he wasn’t bred to be winning a two mile six hurdle at Ballinrobe but we’ll take it.
Kilganer a birthday winner for Tom Cleary
She ran well in Tipperary on her first run for us and we knew she had come on a lot from it. It was great to get Rachael to ride her as she’d won on her a few times before. It’s nice to get a winner here as I’m originally a local and it’s my birthday today as well (64).
Rambling Rose takes the bumper for Patrick Mullins
I was delighted to get Patrick and she'd been working well. I hadn't a winner in so long it was hard to be confident, but she's a gorgeous filly and Patrick liked her.
