Two days, two winners for Moore
She's got a great attitude and has learned a lot from her first two races. She is very straight forward and it's a great please to have another winner for Liam (winning owner Liam Flood) who got me back into training horses for the flat. My son-in-law Kevin Ross picked her out at the sales in Newmarket (purchased for 13,000 Guineas) and she is from a good winning family. She is versatile and seems to go on any ground. She will probably go for a Nursery now.
Quick double for Hoban as Chips delivers
My horses are running well but it's nice to get a winner. He is a good honest little horse and he'll go for the Tattersalls Sales Race now in September where he should give a good account of himself. Hopefully he will improve another bit as he is still a big baby.
Well backed Footprint wins for Martin
He got very upset in the stalls at Galway the last day. He normally goes in last but he went in second last there and then Bendzoldan gave trouble going in after him. It was a pity because it was a case of what might have been. He could have won a nice pot there but this is good compensation. He use to boil over before races but he is more relaxed now and Andrew gave him a cool ride.
Cleary takes the Connacht Oaks aboard Livia
Double makes successful switch to the level
Seventh blitzes his rivals in first time blinkers
We put the blinkers on him to just wake him up. He'll make a nice jumping horse for someone. He is entered in Ballinrobe on Monday and he will go there provided he comes out of this ok.
Rouge leads home Rogers one, two
That worked out well. The step up in trip suited her. I thought the other one (Irish Reel) had it but she'll have another day. It's a nice result.
