Friendly claim for Firstman following Dundalk win

Siobhan did everything right and fair play to her. She’s been lucky for us. I’m delighted for the man that owns him, Eric Carson from Comber in County Down, and the syndicate is named after his late wife (Elizabethcarsonracing Syndicate). He’s a horse that should have a few races won before now and he’d run well here before.

Kalaroun sheds maiden tag

Irwin completes Dundalk hat-trick

it was a nice performance and Dylan said when he steps up to 1m4f he’ll be an even better horse. He travelled lovely, he kicked and Dylan said he put his head down and kept galloping.

Second Nursery success for Mumayaz

Abbaye pair on the mark with Skontonovski

we ran him on soft ground (at Bellewstown) and he probably just didn’t handle it. We gave him a week off and freshened him up. He was very impressive the last day we ran him here and when he was still in this grade we thought we’d try it once more. He quickened up lovely and he’s probably just a step above these horses. Hopefully the handicapper won’t be too hard on him and we’ll tip away here for the winter. He’s improving all the time.

Designer Cailin scores for Martin & Sheehy

she’s gone close a few times before and the horses that have beaten her have gone on to do good things. She just wants to run as hard as she can but she’s very honest - she just doesn’t know how to switch off. She’s versatile from six furlongs to a mile but I think seven is ideal for her. Mikey excelled on her and I’m just delighted to get her to win. She’ll be back here again.

Champion Keane rides 129th winner of season

we’re very happy and it’s a good pot to win. She’s been working well at home and finally she’s brought it to the track. She’s suited by seven or a mile and will stay on the team next year fighting for black type. I’d imagine that will be it for this year.

Prendergast completes Dundalk double

I’m delighted for the (Erindale) syndicate and that’s their first winner with us. They have been very patient. He’s in the sales at Goffs and I’m not sure if we can find something in the meantime or if they would like to keep him on. We’ve run him over a variety of trips and this was his first time over six. I was aggressive from the draw as he stays a bit further.
