Inxile hit the jackpot in Ireland once again as the Dandy Nicholls-trained sprinter landed the feature Cork Stakes at the Mallow trackSat 23rd Apr

Inxile in another successful raid

Naas last Saturday, Cork today and up a furlong in trip it was the same pleasing result for Inxile and his connections and supporters as he benefited from a canny ride by Adrian Nicholls. Eleven to ten this morning into equivalent odds-on, Inxile may have looked a little vulnerable a furlong out before stamping his class on proceedings with a three length victory. Sat 23rd Apr

After race at Curragh Sun, 14th Oct, 2012 (1st)

She's come back but it's hard on the heart! I worked her at (Tommy) Stack's on grass. She did two bits of work and I think that crowned her. She was just not coming home in her races before, and I'm sure it's that bit of work on grass that's made the difference. She could run next in a five furlong Listed race at Dundalk later this month, while there is also a race for her at Doncaster early next month. We'll see how she comes out of this before deciding what to do.

After race at Naas Wed, 20th Jul, 2011 (1st)

I didn't think she was going to get up! We were hoping there would be plenty of pace but they went quite slow early on but Joseph (O'Brien, on Empowering) did quicken the pace. We ran her over five furlongs at Ayr in June but she was short of a bit of work. She might go for a five furlong race at Tipperary on August 5 next and could go for a six furlong race at Ascot later in the year too.

After race at Cork Sun, 1st Aug, 2010 (1st)

That was her Derby and we'll put a for sale sign on her now. I had a winner before, Be Dignified at Ballinrobe in 2004 and my other horse at the moment, a first-timer runs at Naas tomorrow. Katla is the first foal of the mare (Bratislava) so it is great. We covered her up in the Curragh the last day and I'd suppose if we'd made more use of her we could have won. It's easy say that now though as it is hard for a small fellow to go to the Curragh and be confident.
