Well-backed Billboa bags Dundalk's opener

that's a fun horse and belongs to my partner (Tracey Kearney). He didn't make the breeze up as he got an injury. We had 10st 3lb today - a big weight, and he beat a horse (Samrogue) which has run well in the last couple of weeks. The form of Billboa's maiden win has also been franked. I'd like to find another race here before it finishes, he likes it here and not only does he get six furlongs but I'd say he will get seven. He's a big heavy horse and I ran him here last year and he was third, and was a bit sore after it. Then I started running him on soft ground on grass and he couldn't handle it. He's a powerful horse.

Hogan back on track with another '1-2' in a Dundalk claimer

Ransom was entitled to do that in that company, as it was a big drop down from what he has been in. He has dropped down the handicap all year, he has just been running well without winning. To get him settled is the biggest thing. There's no doubt he will be claimed as he's a solid 80-rated horse. He has won plenty for us but we were struggling with where to go with him in handicaps. Thats what these races are for.

'Well above average' win for Badda Bing

we thought he (Badda Bing) would run well, but I'd say he's well above average. He's a beautiful mover. I ride a bit of work for the lads and we thought he was ready to start, everyone liked him. I think he's a grass horse, but he was fresh and well. He might just have a bit of class. It was a nice start.

Danny Sheehy rides out claim with winner on Winemaker

it was a great ride by Danny, he dictated the pace the way he wanted. He said there was no pace so had to jump forward. We like him, he battled back and is a nice horse. This gives us more options, he will probably get a break now and go back to the turf. I'm looking forward to it. I have 16 horses in training and plenty of juveniles.

Third time lucky for Feane's Ohailbhic

Bruce Lightening gets off the mark for Martin and Kearney

we think six furlongs is a bit sharp for him, so Jack had to get the fractions right. They looked to go plenty quick and we were a sitting duck - I'd say he was passed but then stayed on. He's not easy, he's all go and my son does a great job with him at home. Most guys wouldn't want to be riding him out. He's solid though, his first run (at Cork in May) was a cracking run and he is a good, honest horse. He grew an awful lot - we were just saying he is 16.1hh now and this time last year he wasn't 15hh. I'd say there was a growing spurt in the middle of last year which probably didn't help. We didn't know if he would like this surface when we brought him here first and he loved it. He loves soft ground and he'll certainly be running early on the turf when it is soft. Six furlongs on the turf will suit. He'll be fit and ready and has a great attitude.

'Hard to ride, won't walk slow' - Wrecking Ball Paul wins finale

I want to dedicate this to Stephen Kelly, who owned a share in this horse but passed away with cancer about a month ago. It is a pity he is not here to see it, he loved the craic with him and went racing all the time.
