Annecherie wins Dundalk's opener
I'm delighted with that. I was very grateful that they upped this to a 0-70 as she was rated 66 and there was nothing for her. There is a winners' race next week but it might be a bit quick after running over two miles. She will get entered and I'll take a look at it. If she doesn't run she'll get a break and I'll look forward to the summer with her. I think she's just improving all the time and getting stronger. Billy said she loves the surface.
Rerouted Razdan scores at 13th attempt
He did it very well today and I thought Gary gave him a very good ride, he picked up well. We thought he might have needed the run here the last day and he came forward from it at home. he (Razdan) could possibly run over hurdles if the ground dries out in the spring. He'll be a nice dual purpose horse. He is entered for the Triumph Hurdle but that is unlikely. Maybe if he got qualified for the Boodles Hurdle he could run, but we are running out of time for that.

Dowling delivers with 'better than 46-rated horse'
he was super and he's been a great horse for us, it's been a super start. Jack gave him a lovely ride, he's a very good rider and he deserves all the breaks he gets. I was delighted with him. He got a soft little lead, he either needs them to go very hard or things to go his way a little bit and it all worked out today. He might have a few easy weeks now and then try and line up something in the middle or end of March back here again and then we might go to the turf with him, I think he'll handle a little ease in the ground.
'Bouncing' Woodrow is back in business!
the horses were a bit in and out of form all over the winter but they all seem to be bouncing back now. He's a good horse and he works well at home, it's nice to get his head in front. I also had Ahundrednotout for Patrick (Gallagher, owner) and he won here around this time last year. That's two horses I've had for him now and both have won. Hopefully this lad can kick on now. He's back in on Wednesday and hopefully he comes out of this alright. He'll have a morning down at the beach to cool his legs and hopefully he can go again.
