Saint another winner for Hourigan junior
Things are happening all of a sudden and maybe we are on an upward curve. I got him about a year ago from John Duggan. He was kind of sick early on. All of a sudden he had two good runs and then things went pear shaped after that. He has come back again lately. He scoped bad after his Limerick run and he has gotten better after the antibiotics.
Swing just holds off late Mizyen lunge
Leader makes winning handicap debut
I'm delighted with her. I'm very lucky to have a good mare and good owners,. She won well and Mark said he always felt confident. I was a little worried about the ground. It had a bit of cut in it especially down the back, but she done it well.
Pigeon makes all under Walsh for Fogarty
It was a long time coming and she deserved that. It was a game effort and that seems to be the way to ride her. She stays all day.
Beara best in Beginners
It's good to get that out of the way and we'll see what the handicapper does with him now,. He gets three miles really well but he been over-jumping a few fences and jumping his way out of races. He looked a certainty here if he reproduced his Fairyhouse run but it was a matter of reproducing that. He made a bad mistake here last time which cost him the race and also made a bad mistake down in Wexford.
Anchor follows up at Kilbeggan
We nearly gave up on him at the end of last year. We were clearing a few out of the yard and he was top of the list. He was a ten year old rising eleven and he had only won one moderate maiden.
