Endeavour tries hard to bag follow up win
Acclaim another for Harrington and Foley
McAuley hits the target with new acquisition
It was brilliant. There was no rocket science in claiming her, I think there were ten claims in for her last week. It didn't take a genius to figure she was cheap, I didn't think she'd repay us that quickly but it's great. She doesn't take a whole pile of work at home as she can be a fraction hot. The only credit we can take is that we claimed her, Eddie had her ready.
First win in Ireland for Never Back Down
His work had improved in the last couple of weeks and maybe the step up to a mile helped. He likes it here in Dundalk as well. He had good form here previously and we were hopeful of a good run more than confident.
Back-to-back wins for improving Skontonovski
He was a very cheap horse during the summer. I'm delighted with him and Ronny gave him another very good ride, he was class on him and bided his time. I told him to drop him out and take his time. They went a real hard gallop. He's just improving. I have him in a few races at Listowel and he has to go again probably because the handicapper is going to hammer him. We'll see what he gets on Monday but more than likely he'll be declared anyway. He's paid his way and is a real fun horse.
Blue Shadow scores for Oliver & Rutledge
He deserved that as he's been knocking on the door. I thought Siobhan gave him a peach of a ride. She was beautifully placed and timed her run lovely so I was very impressed with that. It's thoroughly deserved by both horse and owners as they've persisted with him all year. He's a genuine horse but it's just been a case of luck in running and he got his turn today. He's in on Monday (at Fairyhouse) and he might make a quick reappearance, I'm not sure yet.
Foley completes treble on Leo De Fury
Another treble for Harrington & four-timer for Foley
