If you look at this horse's form it shows if there is a bend on the track he runs well. He's run 13 times on a straight and he's never delivered,. We actually thought he'd run very well yesterday and I was disappointed with him. He was on his last chance. He's such a fresh and easy horse that it takes nothing out of him. With the bend, the 10lb claim and probably a lesser calibre race, he delivered. He's always run well bar up the straight in the Curragh. Tom is a very good young lad and he's very dedicated. I'm delighted for him as he works very hard and reads a race well. He's cool and very good for his 10lb.

that's the thrills and spills of racing — the ups and downs all in the space of 24 hours. He's (Fit For Function) in again at Listowel on Sunday and he'll go again if the ground doesn't go too soft. He's a nice genuine horse. Up to his mark he's limited.

My horses are running well that have run. We started them a bit late breaking the ice this year as they were sick over the winter and we took our time. He loved the track and Gary (Carroll) said he turned the bend like a hare! He was like a motorbike going around and that stood to him and he came down in the ratings which helped as well. At his own level he is very good but like a moderate singer, if he goes up an octave he is in trouble. I just hope the handicapper won't give him a sore throat now!

He's so genuine, and that's his main asset really. He handled the surface well, and will come back here for a winter campaign. Seven furlongs is his trip,. He's owned by Mick and Patricia Mullane from Limerick city. Mick was a jockey in England.

Gary's enterprising ride stole the day as I thought the favourite (Balirmayne) was a certainty. He's a very hard horse to get fit but I don't think he'll have any problem getting seven (furlongs). I think he would be an ideal horse for Galway but it depends what the handicapper does with him.

He's a very genuine horse. It was just one of those things (the unshipping of Carroll afterwards). The ground is a bit slippy after the rain and he just jinked a bit. He's a Christian of a horse,.
