Sligo Wed, 21st Aug, 2024  High Court Cave This is a smart horse and a clever horse. He was very unlucky at Galway where he clipped heels and he may just have needed the run a wee bit there. We were worried about the ground but Oran kept him wide and got the best of it. He's going to the field now and we'll have a think about what to do with him. His owner Victor McCrea is a cattle dealer and the last three horses that he's picked out himself at the sales, including this one, have all won for him. He's a good judge.

Sligo Wed, 21st Aug, 2024  That's Me Finished Jody said he never thought he was going to get there until after the last. I'd say they probably went pretty fast out in front and stopped. We weren't sure about the soft ground but obviously he handled it and he's a horse that needs two mile-six plus. He's not a very fluent jumper of either hurdles or fences and he was snatching at his hurdles today but at least he gets over them. Over fences, he's terrible!. He's in again at Ballinrobe on Monday because we thought he wouldn't get in here. I'll have a chat with the owners to see if they want to go there, or else we'll freshen him up. The horses are running very well and that's four winners so far this month.
