Cheeky treble for McNamara

Luska Lad back on track
It is amazing what one below-par run can do to the betting public's view of a horse and there is little doubt that without a poor effort at Thurles to his name a fortnight back, Luska Lad would have been a short-priced favourite for the Chia Booster Novice Hurdle. Fri 11th Dec
Alaivan off the mark in style

Oxx/Kinane continue hot streak
Sea The Star's trainer/jockey combination of John Oxx and Mick Kinane added the icing to yesterday's Newmarket triumph when winning the Gowran Park Classic Trial at Gowran today, with Alaivan. Sun 03rd May
It was a pity the race cut up so much. It is tricky with second season horses to find opportunities and for me this race served its purpose. He would have otherwise had to run in the Red Mills or the Irish Champion Hurdle. It was tragic that this race wasn't better supported. He is in the Tote Gold Trophy and he is in at Cheltenham but he'll hardly do both.
E J O'Grady
It's not easy to place these four-year-olds. He is a nice horse but I don't really know where he'll go next. The good two miler at Leopardstown is the only race for him at Christmas. Anyway I'm pleased he's won here.
E J O'Grady
Alaivan disappointed us at Christmas but was obviously beaten by a very good horse. However, I think today's win, and his debut win, were better performances than his Christmas run and his jumping has improved too.
E J O'Grady
He loved the trip and the ground. I'm not sure where he'll go now.
Geoff Houlihan, representing John M Oxx
Miss Keller goes well on soft ground and has a bit of speed. She may step up to Listed company now, although it is tough that she will have to face older fillies. She is a nice filly with a nice pedigree.
John M Oxx
Alaivan had been working like he would do that! He was receiving a maiden's allowance today but won well.
