O'Donoghue wins opener at Dundalk
The horse has shown lots of ability at home but has had a lot of problems in the past and everything seemed to come together for him tonight.
Murtagh seen to good effect
The horse deserved to win he has being running consistently well. He has put on a bit of weight this season and we hope to win a premier handicap with next season. I'm delighted for the lads they are a local syndicate.
Lyons and Murtagh record double
He's in the horses in training sale at Newmarket next week so we'll see how we get on. Johnny [Murtagh] said to me he has improved plenty and how far would he have won over 6f! He's a good honest horse and Johnny felt that if we held on to him that there would be plenty of races for him at Dubai.

Swan scores with Varsity
Fran [Berry] gave the horse a masterful ride, I told him not to race him on the outer to sit and suffer on the inside and the gap arrived just at the right time.
