Boher blitzes his rivals in Wexford opener

No Show keeps the show on the road

All the credit has to go to Phillip Enright. I thought after his run at Kilbeggan that the show was over because I was so disgusted with him. Phillip said draw a line through that race, if you never put me up on him again I don't mind because I gave him a terrible ride. I said to Phillip we will go again but there is no one else riding him only you. He ran well in Tramore and we came on to here then. He won't come out of stalls and is probably finished with Flat racing. Phillip thinks there is another race in him as long as the handicapper isn't too hard on him.

Brideswell takes advantage of lower hurdles mark

Stadium Talk defies market drift to win readily

Joyeux Machin off the mark over fences

He disappointed us in Galway, he just ran a little bit flat. Ground is not an issue with him, although we were blaming it before. I thought he had a bit more bottle over a fence and maybe he will learn and get a bit more confidence with time. I'd say it wasn't an inconvenience that the last two were omitted. It was a decent race and it was run at a good pace. He was rated high enough over hurdles to run well in it and he was getting a 3lb allowance for not having won a race, so technically he was well enough in. The last day he ran here he missed the last in what was a decent beginners chase. Hubrisko has won since and Ballyadam was placed in Galway. There is no reason he can't go back over hurdles and we might mix it with him. I don't think he is as ground dependent as we thought. He finished out the race well and I like the way he hit the line. We might look for a winners-of-one for him now, we will see what's coming up in the next month.

Downtown Queen in command for de Bromhead

Gainford continues hot streak on Bowe's mare

I'm delighted for Leo McArdle who is from Castleblayney in Monaghan. He didn't travel down tonight but he has been really patient with her. He is a good, loyal owner and I'm delighted for him as he stuck by her. It was her first handicap chase tonight. She won a point-to-point well on debut and we thought that she was going to be a good lot smarter. She was second in a maiden hurdle but for some reason or another it just hasn't panned out the way we thought it would. She always threatened to do what she done this evening, but we don't have any reason why it's after taking so long. Thankfully she got her act together. Her dam was a good race mare and won eight times. She was an impressive winner of her point-to-point and Colin said he'd hold on to her, as he likes to race the odd good mare and that's what we thought she was going to be. Up until today she has been disappointing. It was a low grade race and in fairness the handicapper had given her a chance. There is no fancy plans, we will just try win another race with her. Maybe she will go back over hurdles and try to exploit her hurdles mark. She is rated something similar over hurdles but is probably a better chaser than she'll ever be a hurdler.
