Chess Grand Master moves to the polytrack with aplomb
McKnight off the mark on the level with 2nd Flat runner
McGuigan continues teaching role with a win under Ryan
That's great. He's rejuvenated up here this year - he seems to love it,. In fairness to the boss he's given all the lads a chance on him. Luke McAteer, Willie Byrne and now Gavin have all rode him. He teaches them a lot about race riding as he has to be kept up to his business. I'm delighted for Gavin as he had to put up 2lb overweight and it was a bit of a struggle. He certainly didn't look weak anyway.
Halford pays tribute to owner Rooney after Gougane's win
Paul is amazingly patient — it's a pity we can't bottle it!. He's a lovely big horse and we've just had to be very patient with him. Shane said he's still like a big baby. He loves the surface and was in a bracket that we'd thought he'd win. The last day he ran a bit fresh over seven furlongs but has come on nicely at home since. We'll tip away with him here, it seems to be what he likes, and a mile is a good trip for him. Thankfully Paul owned him as not too many would have had that patience with him. He's just a big raw horse. We'll have a bit of fun with him.
Bolger and Ryan strike for a 2nd time at Dundalk
That's great as she has been knocking on the door,. The last day here she reared up as the stalls opened and lost five or six lengths and was only beaten about five-and-a-half. It's nice to get that with her and we'll see where she fits in now, hopefully she can go on again. Gavin was very strong on her.

Fitzpatrick gets the Gold in Dundalk finale
She had been running well recently and was placed a few times,. It's great to get the win tonight. We brought her back to six furlongs, normally she runs over seven, but she won over six in Cork last year. We're very happy. I was intending to give her a break but we might just give her another run now.
