Listowel Sat, 28th Sep, 2024  Champella I thought she got a great ride and Tom is riding with lots of confidence,. The plan was to ride her third, fourth or fifth but he popped off and, next thing, was in front but he rode her with loads of confidence and she jumped great. She was as happy as Larry throughout the race and has now won in Galway and Listowel, so you couldn't ask for better. She has done no wrong, has won five races and will probably be covered in the spring time. We'll space out her runs, keep going until the spring and her owners would love to get black type with her.

Dundalk Fri, 27th Sep, 2024  Lady Kai That was great. Shane Foley rode her work the other morning and felt she was in great nick, he had to go to Newmarket today, . This was the ideal race for her and she got a great ride. The plan was to be in the first four or five and going past the stands the first time she was third last. I thought 'were in trouble here' and was wondering if she wasn't handling the surface but he said they were just going too quick. He said there were a lot of horses in trouble half a mile out and she was only starting to get going. When she got upsides up the straight, she's really bred to stay being by Sea The Stars out of a mare who is related to Sir Percy. She has a great pedigree. It's lovely to win another one with her for her pedigree and Mick is delighted. He rang straight away. We might be able to squeeze another one out of her. I'm sure he's going to be covering her in the spring and she's a lovely filly to have. It all went wrong for her last year, she wasn't 100 percent and never happy in herself. She came back this year a far sweeter mare and has been very consistent in her last couple of runs. She was maybe a bit unlucky the last day in Navan.
