Bar bags third Dundalk win
Geocentric gains valuable Listed success
We're delighted with that, she's been a great servant for us. She could go for a break now and if so it would be a nice way to end the season on a high but she's in the Mercury and we'll see how she comes out of the race. If she comes out bouncing it could be an option. Either way she'll be having a good long break after. She enjoys a cut in the ground and will be starting early next season. This was a nice Listed race locally so it's nice to get that job done. She came out of Ayr very well, her coat is great, so it was a no brainer to come here. We'll see how she does now and the Mercury isn't out of the question.
That's Just Dandy for Turley and Colgan
Lyons at double with Nero Tulip
That was very impressive. Sam (Ewing) gave him a great ride, a confident ride, and rode him like the best horse in the race as we thought he was. He's improving with every run and getting sharper. He's in the Birdcatcher (at Naas), we ran here worried that it might come up very soft there and he mightn't like it but Sam's confident he'll go with a cut in the ground so that will probably be his next start.
O'Brien Snaffles an across-the-card brace
Royal Scholar brings up Dundalk double for Crosse
He's a big, raw horse and he's still learning. I thought we'd have fun with him last year but things didn't work out and hopefully we'll have a bit of fun during the winter. My uncle John owns him and he's been patient since he bought him, he had a bit of bad luck but hopefully now he'll learn and pay his way up here.
Doyle rides out 10lb claim on Lisabetta
That was smashing, it was great. She's a consistent little filly and hasn't run a bad race all year,. I'm delighted she ran so well here and we'll be back again as she hasn't had a tough campaign so far. That's Emma's third winner and she's down to 7lb now. She had her first winner here a couple of years ago. It's just been slow but she's getting better. She got a lovely spin there and did everything right.
Moon Daisy brings up her third success
She's a tough filly and she stays well. She did well as she got hampered early on. I always thought she was well handicapped and she's starting to show that eventually. We know she can handle that surface now so we might keep her going for the winter and see what happens.
