'Shark' wouldn't mind a Dozen like this mare
It was a brave call because her owners didn't want her to come here as they said it was too short, which it is for her, but she has now got the three E5,000 bonuses (for ITBA fillies who win a bumper, maiden hurdle and beginners chase) and there aren't many mares in the country who have done that. She improved from the last run and everyone thought I was mad coming but if she didn't win today there was a lovely race for her in Cork, after Galway; with me the five grand (bonus) is the same as winning another race. She missed the third last and was lucky she didn't come down at it but she did well to get back up and win. I have no plan for her and the yard is flying.

Doyle rides first winner for Mags Mullins
Kilderry Prince causes 25/1 upset for McNamara & O'Keeffe
he travelled and jumped and he (Darragh O'Keeffe) said he was brilliant the whole way. He had a good run the last day at Kilbeggan and it was nice he stepped forward from it. He has had some back trouble in the past but is straightforward and honest and there are plenty handicap chases coming up for him. It's a nice tonic for dad who had a setback two months ago.

Quick reappearance pays off for Meade's Shadow
Janeymac it's a double for Mags!
All credit to Pat Farrell who owns her as I came in the last day and said she's not one to keep going with, but he said he'd like to give her another go because she had shown sparkles of form. She is in the sales next month and I'll have to have a word with him now to not send her! I think I could win a few more on her. Our other winner today (Gunfire Reef) is in the sales as well.
