32nd time lucky for Garamor Boy
Beauty very very good at Downpatrick
I'd say she's a bit of a madam. In fairness the ground was a bit better and that probably helped. She may go to England in a few weeks time for something. It's great for Sean who is one of my best supporters.
Eddie comes late and fast
He took a long time to come to hand. I'm delighted he's won and he's a fine big horse that jumps a fence well. He had a couple of point-to-point runs. Ian Smith, one of the main people in the syndicate, died a few months ago as a young man. Hopefully he had a few quid on in the betting office up above.
Hughies & Darcy win Ulster National with bold display
He jumped well but to be honest he's always jumped well. He didn't touch a twig today. He's been crying out for that sort of trip and I hope he could be an Aintree horse in time. We'll consider the Irish National now. I had him in the Thyestes but he didn't get in. I thought he'd have won his novice chase by now but he's run up against a few good ones.

A day to remember for the Cullys
That's a good birthday present. This is not a bumper horse . he's a two and a half mile or three mile chaser. It was probably a weak enough race and he'll go hurdling next season.
