29/1 Cork double for McDonogh
I was expecting a big run today. I thought he had a good chance and he'll run away in those sprints once the ground is a little soft,.
Prince back to his best
He had a hold up after his last run and I didn't think he was fully ready,. My horses hadn't been running up to scratch but I knew they were well. I'm more delighted for his owner, Martin Sheridan (also the breeder, from Garristown), than anything else, as he's been a great supporter of mine.
Confident Keane brings home 'local' winner
I'm thrilled for David Spratt (winning owner) as he normally has to travel to see his horses run but lives just 20 minutes away from here, in Whitechurch,. Colin (Keane) is riding with great confidence - at one stage he had nowhere to go today but the run will have given him (Ningxai) loads of confidence. No pressure is put on our jockeys and they are never tied down to orders and allowed to go to Plan B.

Variable highly impressive in Cork finale
She was green first-time out, more so than we were expecting. We were still very happy with her and the penny seemed to drop as the game was up,. She has won nicely and with her pedigree she'll be looking for black-type sooner rather than later. She is still a little immature and far from the finished article.
