Winning chase debut for Broomfield Bijou
I left instructions to Keith as he knows her well an she just jumped her way to the front after getting a lead down over the first. She had a look today and will be sharper the next time. She is very good to jump and anyone who has ridden her has always said that chasing would be her game. She is out of a half-sister to (Gold Cup-placed) Anibale Fly, so has a good jumping pedigree and is one to look forward to.
Smart hurdler wins easily on chase debut
Freddie Robdal 'smuggled in' for Wexford win
'Fear kept me on' - Wexford winner survives late drama
fear kept me on - I wouldn't have liked a telling-off from the boss with Galway ahead next week, so it was best to stay on! He was an honest horse who stayed going though. he travelled very well through the race, missed a few but is growing in confidence the whole time. He was a different horse completely to Sligo the last day so it is great to see him finish out his race today — even with me hanging off him.
De Bromhead completes Wexford double
Kudasheva was good, she got into a great rhythm and jumped from fence to fence. She had a run over fences under her belt and you'd be more confident coming here in a beginners with that run behind her. She improved for that latest run and it's great to get the win today. We couldn't have asked for more, but we probably thought she would have won before now. Hopefully now she'll keep progressing over fences. With her style of running today's trip is probably ideal for her, but options are open.
Broderick's Sphagnum keeps ball rolling with fourth win
Deegan rides first winner for point to point handler Murphy
I rode her the last day when I'd say the trip was a little bit sharp for her and today's step back up in trip suited. She was in her comfort zone everywhere and the easier ground helped too. I do a bit of schooling for Denis, I know his sister Bernadette, brother Peter and their mother Kathleen well so it is nice to ride a winner for them, I live near to them and they'll get a great kick out of that.
