Gegenpressing claimed at Limerick

that was a grand result. He has been a very consistent horse, there is nothing wrong with him at all and we thought dropping him to a Claimer was his level to get a winner for the good owners Niall and Deirdre Kennelly that they are. He is the first horse Niall and Deirdre have had with us, they are lovely people and we're delighted to get the win for them. It is good to support these Claimers, there'll be plenty interest in him and he is there to be claimed.

Third time lucky for Snapius

I rode him the last day in Listowel when I had a bad draw and around there is isn't ideal and was stuck three-wide the whole way which didn't suit. Once I got him straightened up he was still green but finished out his race well today and has come on again. His brother Snapraeterea was fourth in Ascot yesterday (Hampton Court Stakes) and he is from a very consistent family who always produce winners so hopefully he will go on to bigger and better things.

Let's swoops from last to first

Sonnyboyliston caps big day for Murtagh

Persistence pays off for Madden on Music

Matilda scores again for Sweeney

She is a big tall, lovely filly and he (Ewing) said if the others came to him, he could've gone on. She needs soft ground and I wasn't going to run her at all but it turned out good. She is mad for hurdles but they won't leave me!

Sequoia sweet back on the Flat

He struggled the last day over hurdles and it knocked the stuffing out of him. It took him a long time to recover and we said we'd come back and have a go at this, with the light weight and see,. It was more to sweeten him than anything and it worked out grand. I thought Paddy gave him a peach of a ride. He is a very handy horse but his heart is in the right place. I wouldn't be too anxious to put a big weight on him and he'll pitch away on the flat for a while. We thought he'd be in the shake-up with the fitness level he had from the hurdles.

Cathal Byrnes off the mark as licence holder

Cathal was in Down Royal and was a small bit unlucky to get beaten in a three-way photo (with One For Joe) but this is a great start for him. She doesn't really like jumping and the amateur handicap at Galway will probably be the target - you'll have to talk to the boss but she might go somewhere before then. There are a good few horses ready to run at the moment and Cathal is the man now. Cathal is 26 and is training them now but there is nothing definite (regarding who holds the licence after September). Philip is a also great help as well and is doing well.
