O'Sullivan on the mark with Dream
He was a very, very talented horse from the start and we shouldn't have ran him in the Landrover Bumper because he was raw at that time, but the lads (the Crooked Crew Syndicate) wanted a runner at Punchestown. He was nearly sold after winning his point-to-point but failed the vet due to his wind but we got his wind done and is flying ever since. Patrick Mullins told us in Thurles to forget about bumpers as he'd be a right good horse without being in a bumper and is a three mile chaser out-and-out and is a very promising horse. We won't be too hard on him this year but he'll run next in the Dorans Pride Novice Hurdle back here at Christmas.
Suitor scores despite market drift
It's their (Goldman Racing Syndicate) first horse and it's nice to see a bit of that (enthusiasm); they're all from Kilmessan, Co Meath and there's a heap of them in the syndicate. He (Meehan) said he was flat out early and he jumped great. The further he went the better he got. We bought him as a dual purpose horse and he should be a fun horse and they've had a winner now so they're delighted!
Walsh doubles-up on Getoutwhenyoucan
Mark was good on him and he'll come back here for another two mile race over Christmas. He's a lovely horse to have around the place and anybody can ride him; I'm pleased he won again and that's his seventh win.
Treble for Walsh & double for Leahy as Wait wins again
It was probably a weak race and he's a nice horse. I was hopeful coming here as both horses were in good order. This horse will come back here again over Christmas. JP (McManus) is great to us and is good to a lot of people, if he ever pulled out, there'd be fellas running for cover!
Dromore provides Larkin with first track success
He is consistent and will go for something similar in a few weeks time. He was unlucky to be beaten a nose at Wexford the last day and seems to thrive on that ground. It was pot luck that we got Shauna as it was a Challenge race and it was her first time riding for us. She'll ride plenty more winners.
Walsh wins Again to complete first four-timer
O'Farrell & Mullins combine for bumper success
I think she's a lovely mare, a smasher and is a lovely size. Myself and Peter (Magnier) own her and the GS Syndicate, from Dublin, lease her from us. She runs in the Dublin colours and I'm delighted for them. We'll see how she is but she could go for a winners' bumper next. I think she's a nice mare and has a lovely page and is from the Chomba Womba family. That's Katie's first winner for me - she was second once in the past, and gave her a lovely ride and I was delighted with her.
